I hate it when scammers aren't well organized and can't keep their stories straight.

sigh, as someone who works in tech, I try to remain open minded about new endeavors. I have a hard time reconciling the idea of intentionally taking something that isn't scarce (a digital piece of...

Just a note that there is nothing "Irish" about a 17 fret tenor banjo - it's just a marketing term in use in the States. The bulk of players in Ireland actually use 19 fret tenor banjos. While...

An "Old Sausage-ism" if there ever was one.
Thanks, Dave.

Toole, not O’Toole. And my gaffe, his first name is Patrick.

Big difference in age too.

Two weeks ago I walked into The Music Emporium to pick up another instrument and I saw these, hanging in the instrument case behind the counter....and I was all set for yet another set of Campanella...

Morning, Y'all!

I had to share the excitement from this morning's unboxing of Maddy's brand spanking new Ratliff Mandolin. The UPS guy didn't show up until after bedtime last night so she woke up...

Florentine? 'Almondine'? :popcorn:

If you're ever up in Boston, visit the Museum of Fine Art's antique instruments room. MFA certainly thinks they're works of art.

And they periodically have concerts where the instruments get taken...

Received some heart breaking news from Ron Cole. Please pray for him as he was diagnosed with cancer. Ron is an incredible guy! I have known him for years and he has always been a first class person...

My daughter (pictured) made this for me.

She could make a small fortune on Etsy (assuming she starts with a...

no argument intended, but...

for discussion let's remove what music is being played, style, ethnicity, experience level of the player, and just look at the mechanical and visual aspects...

To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous chopping or by taking up arms against a sea of banjos and by opposing them end...

No bluegrass since I discovered non-fungible bronycore.

I am not.

My intention wasn't to trash the Cranberries, just to illustrate a point about using the broad audio spectrum. Yes, it was a disappointing show, but the idea I was trying to convey was how to arrange...

dear original poster,
for clean tone production, check your left hand for how you address the mandolin. There are as many approaches to this as there are mandolin players, so have your...

Highly doubtful. Solibodies weigh more and acoustic electrics add the pickup and electrical components. And anyway why would light weight make an instrument easier to play?

OldSausage a "mini-mandocello" is sometimes referred to as a "mandola" although I've never heard it called that until just now by me.

I challenge everyone not to get into this version.

Nice to have your wit and wisdom back David.
