Thanks for the reply. I guess I knew that the actual angle at which you hold the mandolin wouldn't make you sound like Monroe, I was thinking more along the lines of the angle that you hold the...

It's only a Gibson and I've had enough.

I tried the XTs J75s) a bit ago and liked them okay. My issue was they lasted like 1-2 days longer than EJ75s typically last for me. So, for me they did t seem worth it: a little bit less tone that...

I put a set of Elixirs on a mandolin - took them off two days later. That's the only time I ever changed strings that soon. But I like Elixirs OK on guitar and a lot on 12-string.

D.H.

I had the same result when I tried Nickel plated steel strings once. They were just awful and came off a day later.

Like you I have been using only Phosphor bronze (uncoated) strings for years...

So my main mando was back at the factory for a few months getting some work done. I got it back a little less than a month ago and wanted to do something special so i thought I try to learn...

I believe it is called “Drinking Three Cups of Espresso and Playing Lots of Notes Very Quickly.” :)

At first it almost sounded like a choro tune. Then it seemed to veer off into some Dawg music...

Your point is well taken and I do not disrespect your point of view. I'm just not so sure the OP fully understands the costs companies charge for S & H. If he already had that understanding, would he...

I agree with your assessment of the eco choice of paper vs. bubble wrap. However, your admonishment of the writers dislike of Stew Macs shipping costs might be a little strong and certainly...

I have watched Derek play before, he has a smooth, clear, precise touch. Nice mandolins both, a person would be quite happy with either I think

Hello everyone!

I picked up my new Stiver about seven hours ago at Lou Stiver's home. Upon installing an arm rest and a strap I have barely set it down.
I no longer miss the Collings I sold to help fund this...

Nice! I've played that tune on 100s of gigs on several different instruments; an iconic jazz standard- take the time to learn it and you get to play it 100s and 100s of times for life in all kinds of...

Nice! Here's my version:

After listening to Avi Avital and Jacob Reuven recordings last year, and liking their sound more and more, I decided to have a go at making an Arik Kerman style of mandolin based on all the...

Well, it could always be worse...

I wanted to add a note for folks installing a K&K internal pickup on a mando with a James tailpiece. I did the research here before the install and I saw conflicting info on whether or not you have...

Me tinkering around (apologies, just bought it and was just responding to a similar request). Hoping to learn more!

Ok, here's another I'm not a worthy human story. We had a primary election last week and my poling place is down the block. I was watering a flower bed when a guy walks by with a voting pamphlet. I...
