I worked up several Willie Nelson numbers on mandolin earlier this year, Crazy, Funny How Time Slips Away, and Night Life. The intention was to play them in gigs with my guitar duo buddy, but our...
Interesting article about traditional Hawaiian string band music. Kilin is the brain behind Pono Instruments, most notably their flat-top octaves but also mandolas, mandolins, tenor guitars, etc....
You never appreciate a Waterloo until you come across a loo that has no water.

There's a big difference between a copy and a counterfeit. (A point which appears to be lost on Mark Agnesi in his role as Gibson spokesman.)
I agree that counterfeit instruments - instruments...
Just to add my perspective, some of the most difficult glue joints that I have opened have been in old Gibson mandolins made with hide glue. I don't recall ever struggling as much with a Titebond...
Of all the mandolins that I have worked on over the years I can only remember 2 that had a back bow in the neck, and they were both carbon fiber mandolins. I can't remember if the fretboards were...
Never tempted to cut down the backyard pecan. James mentioned the economics- if inexpensive classical guitars from Mexico use it, players might be reluctant to show you the $, even for an abalone...
For anyone thinking buying into this scam you have until until Sat, Jul 6 to return it for your money back or a replacement. Wal-Mart shows the package as being at a carriers terminal in New Jersey...

You know, for a guy, like me, that will likely never utilize this information for anything, the understanding of the process is really incredible. I know several instrument builders and it’s quite...
That is a Tahitian ukulele. Read more here.
A lot of what this old guy does seems to be a good starting place for thinking of the basics --

Enjoy!
For some reason, in German music notation H is used instead of B♮ (B-natural), and B instead of B♭ (B-flat). Talk about confusing but that is only the name of then note. When you read notes on the...
If you think in numbers 1 4 5 and know what the chords are in each key transposing is very simple with no tools or finger counting. I will make a slip of paper for folks starting that goes like this ...
Danny is one mandolin instrumentalist who is not confined to one style of music. His "Sorta Annual Concert" last year was spectacular.

I haven't posted in forever (it's not personal, I love MC and miss it, but am too busy most of the time) -- but saw that there was some traffic heading to my blog and followed the breadcrumbs -- so...
