    Re: What is this pick?

    I think throwing a bunch of unmarked picks in a pick sampler is a brilliant practical joke!
  2. Re: Mandolin Cafe Member Bogle Has Passed Away

    Sorry that you, and we, have lost a friend and comrade.

    I've wondered that if (when) I was to die, no-one would inform the forum.

    I would just fade away...

    Poll: Re: How often do you tune your Mandolin?

    Every time I pick it up.

    I saw the Punch Brothers live in Paducah, and they tuned for EVERY SONG.
  4. Re: Anyone tried mandolin thru a Boss Katana amp?

    I use the Bose S1-Pro and also an L1-Compact.

    One, or the other, and if needed, both.

    My tube amps are for the Les Paul and Tele.

    Re: Pick Talk

    I swap out 3 identical Blue Chip TD 40's on guitar (my main instrument) because they will wear, and this keeps them all about the same.

    My mandolin pick is the Wegen 1.0 mandolin white.

    Re: Drop In Tuners For 1933 Gibson A

    I never thought about black until I just read your reply.

    It has an ebony bridge and fretboard.

    By golly, I'm gonna do it!

    Thanks, everyone. This is still the best forum on the planet.

    In the link for "Tuning Machine Maintenance" mine are the ones he says "never work well".

    Looks just like them.

    Re: Drop In Tuners For 1933 Gibson A

    I bought it from George Gruhn, who actually owned this mandolin twice. He also had some stories about Scotty Stoneman owning and playing it. I'm going to tear into it and do some cleaning and lubing...

    Drop In Tuners For 1933 Gibson A

    Had a gig the other night, and my stiff d tuner would barely get to pitch. I'm afraid of breaking the plastic.

    Man, the Stew Mac sight is a tad confusing. Does anybody know which tuners would drop...

    Re: Patrick Sky RIP

    Thanks for the post. There are many little known writers/musicians who've slipped through the cracks and they all have a story.

    Some are just never told.

    Re: Avoid marking the top of your mandolin

    I agree. I've never gone out of my way to preserve an instrument. I play the heck out of everything I own because it's MINE. It's not about the looks.
