It almost never hurts. It's hard to explain, but I have noticed no change in mobility. If I have been driving for 5-10 hours, it will sometimes not work quite right. It isn't a cramp, doesn't...

I had it done on my left thumb, and need it to be done to the right one, also. In my case, they did not use a tendon, but what I called high tension fish line. The rehab was short, and the recovery...
I wasn't going to jump into this discussion, but having been in praise bands for over 20 years, I have a little insight into the problem. The band I spent the most time with would have had space for...
My recovery time was shorter than a joint replacement. I was in a splint, padding, and all wrapped in an ace bandage for a couple of weeks. Then the stitches were taken out and I was put in a...
They did a Mini TightRope technique on my left thumb. It relieved 99% of the pain and problems, and the recovery period was shorter. Sooner or later I will have to have it done on my right thumb,...
I'm still analog, and the group does all kinds of music, so my/our needs might be a bit different. I use an Allen and Heath GL2400 mixer, EV speakers and subs, old Sonic moniters, and QSC amps. ...
Here is a comment from the Song Meanings site:
"At the time Rafferty wrote the song, he was travelling regularly between London and Glasgow. As such, he didn't get to spend as much time with his...
RIP, Dix.
Welcome to the world of MAS!
There was a 2017 MD814v in Kentucky up until last night. It should be here on the 25th. The wait for a new one is 6-8 months, or more. At a dealer here in MN I was told that they don't make the...
Because of extreme arthritis in my thumbs, in December I had what is called a Arthroscopic Trapeziectomy With Suture Button Suspensionplasty. The recovery time is less than with some of the other...
I almost always take my best one. If it's a vacation trip, then I'll take a lesser instrument. Like others have said, I bought it to play, not to keep pristine.
I love my 4. (3 for mandolins and one for a Jessen octave mandolin that I think he custom made.) They are all
I have a Tacoma Thunderchief, and outside with a group, the sound is lost. The person next to you can hear you, but not the ones several feet away. I used a Roland Microcube bass RX, and got the...
I think that we are our own worst critics. We have an idea about how we want things to sound, and when it's not there or different, we get down on ourselves. As time passes we are able to be more...
That's great. Thank you for giving such an awesome gift!
Thanks, and I would also like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.
I would keep my "A" ov make it better than the other tal, #58, made by TeeJay. (Tom Jessen at Cricket Fiddle Instrument Company.) Lots of volume and tone made it the one to keep. I compared it...
I've used one with my Mandobird with good results.
I can't remember a time when I wasn't involved in music-then I found out people would pay you to play! I was 16 at the time, and applause made an impression on me. It was somehow different than...
Just because one can do something, doesn't mean that one should!
We can all help by buying from both "brick and mortar" stores and each other, instead of from places that have only an online presence. This is true in a lot of other areas, also. Walmart,...
I would like to wish all on the Café a wonderful, blessed, New Year. May 2015 bring you the perfect mandolin that will end MAS forever. (Or at least until the next perfect one enters your life!) :)
Before I joined, I knew nothing about Blue Chip picks, and know way more about now I have 4 of them! Seriously, tho, because of this site I know much more about string selection, wood choices, tone...
Just a few more!
