On the mandola I used a .018 for the higher octave G (plain). On the OM and mandocello I use a wound .023 or .024 for the high G.
A super simple way to do it is buy 2 sets of regular unison...

She and Darol Anger both enjoyed my Cricket fiddle F4 OM. I think she had her Fletcher Brock GBOM, Darol also had a GBOM with a cutaway. Both were great, arch top guitar bodied instruments that...

Kate Wolf was another talent that was taken from us all too soon. She’s a staple in my music library and “Like A River” (the studio version) came up this morning. Thought I’d share a live version...
Peter Ostroushko recently put up on his website (scroll to bottom of home page) the first episode of a podcast about his work as a radio musician. The music is fantastic, but Peter's telling of his...
I didn't know that term for it but its also how I've strung my 10 string mandola, OM and 10 string mandocello. These instruments I have all use a zero fret so the nut slots can accomodate a variety...
To my ear, "ascending pitch" mutes and negates the 12-string sound. Had my Rickenbackers modified to the "traditional" 12-string guitar pairing. IMO, the octave string should ring above the lower...
The old Forum software has been reinstalled. But I wasn't done meddling just yet. I saw some things in the other version and decided they had their place here so changes have occurred in the...
If everybody has to pay sales tax on Internet sales, it will also help level the playing field for local stores.

Hi all,
My wife and I just recorded one of our favorite songs using our Northfield Archtop Octave that I've had for about a year. So I wanted to share this with y'all since there can never be too...

You have to make a distinction between Weber pre-takeover (Two Old Hippies) and post takeover. Bruce stayed a couple of years after the takeover before “retiring” but changes started soon after the...
No Mike, that did not happen in this case. But I hope you and my fellow MC musicians don't begrudge the funding spent on basic research, in general. Historically, basic research has paid out huge...
Yes there are right angle screw drivers. But the ones I have had and used were too long from angle to tip to work. I would look at making one out of a correctly sized driver. But the fingernail...
Your tuners were made by Grover, I was replying to Robert. I would assume yours were original to the mandolin.
Most of the off set screw drivers I've seen were heavier than what you would need. I...
The word mandolin means "out of tune" in Italian. You might try dropping a line to the folks at Grover about this. I've got a pretty good memory and I don't recall seeing anything posted about this...
Here's another installment of The Brewery Sessions featuring my band The Ol' 55s. This is a upbeat tune our bass player wrote! Cheers!

One who's well appreciated but not talked about a lot is my other (aside from Dave "Friend of the Devil" Grisman) favorite mando guy, Rich DelGrosso, blues mando's foremost living authority. Thanks...
