Last week we had a Nyckelharpa at the BBC (Beaver Brewing Company)

Before breakfast for me it is Whiskey ;-)

Wein is German for wine. But we like it very much here in Wien/Vienna, too. ;-)

Happy Birthday! We still need more Dawg music.

Thank you Mandolin Cafe.

I also wish: Peace for everybody!

XMAS = extra MAS ?

To shed some light on some sound tech myths:

Impendance matching:
Means that the sink of a signal (e.g. preamp input) has the same impedance as the source (e.g. the PU).
With matched impedance...

Changed my strings yesterday and was impressed again by the improvement of the sound. As always.
I try to change every 4 weeks but actualky do it less often.
Only with flat wounds (on other...

Not the worst song I heard. But it is missing mandolins real bad! :grin:

If the issue persists with new strings, you could check whether the strings in each pair is exactly at the same height at the bridge and nut. I have a slight issue at the lowest course with my...

Muy bien!

I only have 17 frets on my mandolin.
On electric mandola this area confuses me ;-)

I once had a loose truss rod in my mandolin. The setup did not require the truss rod to pull back, but it was way to loose and the nut or washer vibrated when I played. Gently tightening the truss...

Here are my 2 cents.

Maybe you suffer from the same problem as I did after starting playing: my mandolin had a very high action, actually it never had a setup done. So I had to push down very hard...

As the Tile tracker does not have its own GPS and cellular radio, it relies on the smartphones of the Tile community. If your Mandolin is lost and you are out of reach of the Tile's bluetooth, you...

I just started to add this to my practice routine. It appears to be very promising, let's have a look again after a month or so.

I've been up and down and round about and back again....

I started gigging in the late 1980ies. Our bandleader somehow got some decent refurbished small diaphragm condenser mics from the national...

Improve my improvising, that's what I need.
Thank you Pete, that sounds very promissing! I'll start with the videos right after work.

Great!

Looks like you suffered from a brown out. Looks like the mixer was less forgiving than the instrument amps and other stuff. As it worked again at home, apparently it's not broken. (If it ain't...

Some pickups have adjustable poles for the individual courses. This way you can fix differences in loudness. Without these poles you can still try to get the treble side of the PUs closer to the...

+1

That said, be aware that electrics open the door for another disease besides MAS: GAS = gear acquisition syndrome...

Funny enough, meanwhile the first hit in the google search is this very thread in the mandolin cafe forum ;)

Check with another cable.
Check the mixing desk or wherever you plug in the 57 with another mic.
Check the 57 at another input.

This way you can find the faulty - or just misconfigured - part.

I double the value of my car every time I visit the gas filling station. I do not double the value of my mandolin when I change strings ;-)
