I don't like to make plans that far ahead. That's when they start throwing terms like "premeditated" around the courtroom.
(Can't remember who I stole that from.)

I bought an Artist model (Rosewood b/s and Engelman "f-hole" top) direct from Kilin Reece in HI. I have no intonation issues, so I wonder if TMS didn't do an effective set-up? High nut maybe?
I...
Actually, it is probably easier to read normal tonal music when there is a key signature. The advantage is that if the composer throws in a note that is NOT part of the scale that the piece is...
I put this up on Soundcloud in late June, and I see it's now been played three times. So I'm giving it a little nudge. Quartet number for mandolin, guitar, bass and drums, recorded around 2007. ...

Hi Everyone,
Hope you’re all great. :-)
Here’s an Elmore James song transposed to the mandolin. It was tricky finding a way to establish a rhythm luck for it, but the saxophone part actually...

Hi all,
I'm so excited by the new mandolin I just received from genius luthier, Oliver Apitius. In my opinion, there is no mandolin that is better suited to Jazz. And it plays like a dream. I...
I think of changing my left or right hand mechanics as ‘refining’ my technique, rather than ‘relearning’. Much less traumatic.
That's for guitar. It's the seventh fret for mandolin. :grin:
Not a fan of the DBT as Glassweb calls those scalloped extensions.
There's only one thing I know for sure. Keith Richards will still be around to see it if it does happen.
For anyone who is interested, here is my method of checking intonation at the 12th fret.

One point - ''Mapes'' strings,as good as they seem to be - won't have 'the same tone' as the strings that you used. Different string brands are 'different' (usually). DR MD12's are 12//16/28 & 41...
