Caleb Klauder has the machinegunniest tremolo. Percussive. Loud. In your face. Some might call it mandolin abuse. I like it but it ain't sweet or smooth. And Caleb uses it well.

"double time" vs "half time"
In formal metrical analysis, each of these terms is an example of what is called a "dok". If they are indeed equal, they are known as "paradoks".
Hope this helps!
At first I was taken aback by the "New Scent" being "Unscented". But I did read something recently that scientists have shown that "silence" is actually a sound. So I guess unscented might actually...
I somehow missed this thread on its original posting. Thanks for the update and all the best to you, son, and wife!
You and son are in good company, Mark. Even Pavarotti was (allegedly) singing a step or two down late in his career. I have to say "allegedly" because I don't want to get sued....
I think today's mandolins do look pretty with all those sunbursts and stain but I really like the look of natural wood. I trust that bluewood binding was sustainably grown and harvested and no...
This thread - https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/group.php?discussionid=6977&do=discuss - has a bit of history for the tune including "waxies dargle"; see the first few posts.
All the best for a smooth surgery and a quick rehab.
Well I did a Google search for
That gave a bunch of hits but it's not a real neat solution.
I think this has been discussed before and basically the answer has been that the software for the...
This is true if you overfeed your cat. Cut back the rations to the vet-recommended diet and it'll give you all kinds of attention ... starting about an hour before dinnertime.
I think the 5 may...
Also for the record: I have bought and sold mandolins through the cafe's classifieds for several years and have had good communications in each case.
Scott runs a smooth operation here.
Thanks to the OP and all the responders for this great thread. I am currently rehabbing from a moderate severity stroke suffered last month. I initially thought I would nver play again. I have been...
See my signature below re Rob Meldrum's free ebook on mando setup. You'll find that poor action near the nut is a very common problem, especially on lower cost (entry level) instruments. It's not...
Nobody has plugged Natures Miracle yet, so I'll just mention it. Available at pet stores. Several different formulations available, so read the labels. I can't remember which one I used but it worked...
Since this thread seems have covered the bases re the OP's question, I don't mind going OT and saying that there actually was such a thing as an "electronic tuner" back then. Our symphonic band...
Also, as a matter of physics, mandolin strings have a relatively short vibrating length. Thus relatively small changes in temperature, top deflection, etc, have bigger effect compared to a banjo.
I believe that is called "chordascii" after the famous russian balalaikaist.
March, 2005. last 2 digits = month. first digit = year-2000 for seven digit s/n's.
I do like it. I trust it has that Weber-y sound with added oval-holiness.
I would use 100 grit to remove wood, then follow with 220 grit to smooth it out.
Welcome to the cafe! Check out the Newbies group; several of us Newbies are Oldies. Mutual support as we learn is what the Newbies do.
Two things I am curious about:
a) what year was your Yellowstone made?
b) I am surprised that it had polyurethane or that it was so thick.
If the year is unknown, it can be determined from the...
Welcome to the forum, danoverb! Note that I sent you a private message. And I would invite you to check out the Newbies Social Group.
With all respect to the two very knowlegeable luthiers above, I offer my non-expert opinion derived from my having worked on several Brekke Traditional bridges on my own Webers.
I am pretty sure...
My poor eyes failed me (not for the first time) - I never even saw the lower hook. And I swear I counted nine hooks up top. But this morning I can say "was blind but now I see". Yeah, I think it is...
Could be for a waldzither.
