Boy oh boy! I unexpectedly got an Eastwood Mandostang for Christmas and I'm having a blast! For some reason, I jumped right into playing jazz standards (I used to study jazz guitar back in the day)...
Thanks for the info on the IV kits. I will take a look at them.
Great job on yours !!!! Looks amazing.
I have one of the original (pre-Koch Brothers acquisition) Shmergel Radiators - got that Radiata soundboard that radiates a lotta sound. Would post a pic but it crashes the whole forum if I try to...
One of my projects over the next year or so is building a mandolin quartet, maybe even a couple. I am not sure what is going to happen to them once they are built, but we will see what happens. I...

Nice ukes Chinn, I am building several starting next week, just waiting for my craft lathe to show up so I can turn my bridge pins from my own wood. I hate the way the ties look on the simple...
Agreed, to get even more philosophical, I believe in setting goals we first need to look at our reasons for wanting to play music. To illustrate what I mean, here's my story - when I started playing...
Excellent!

Beautiful work..
Wow that looks great! Nice job so far!
Nice work! Looks great for a first effort!
I find a 50/50 split of people thinking that because you can play one instrument, you can play another.
Some folks are surprised that I can play another instrument besides (whatever it is that I...
Never mind my last post. I just read your post on the other thread. I've used Mohawk Instrument Lacquer for years. The "too much plasticizer" would act like that.
I'd scrape as much off as possible...
You can mask the bindings while the rest of the instrument is being stripped.
You might start out dry, and carefully try some coarse steel or plastic wool or even a coarsely sharpened cabinet...
I did this piece a few years ago and recently ran across it. Thought someone here might enjoy it as a desktop background or something. Pretty sure this is an old painting or photo I saw and...
Sierra just got her '26 Gibby 'dola back from Dave Harvey, and posted a very brief sampling on Facebook. Here it is for those who are able to see these videos, just click the photo to play it.

Hey Folks,
Here is short lesson for the Grateful Dead's Tennessee Jed. It's a cool lick in the key of C that is based around two C major scale shapes that I move between.
I'm using my Steve...
A local friend is starting an instrumental project. He's playing all the instruments on this project. This is Danny Ellison, with a sample of "Sally Ann" - I tried to embed the video, but not...
I love the five-string. Barely play anything else at this point.

Hi folks,
It's me again, your friendly music teacher over in GA. In case you don't remember or you never saw these threads, I'm the one who you helped get the mando stand by donating to my Donors...
I'm posting this to share a unique "take" on this by our previous fiddler, Tim Gathman. I'd never heard any one else double stop the melody the way he does...

This tune has been on the short list in the back of my mind as "one I want to learn"... so last week I scrounged up a really good PDF of it (thanks Mark Gunter for posting it on the web) and worked...
Funny. My band was playing a gig at a downtown coffee shop, The Tamp & Tap, for their bluegrass brunch when we looked up and the bass player spotted Sarah and said something. The two guys with her...
