Red Bear or D'Addario caesine on acoustic, D'Andrea Pro Plec on electric.

Monroe's solo was basically doubling each note. The Osbourne brothers really made it more jazz-like (swingish) with passing tones. I kinda like the Ricky Scaggs version that used to be online in TEF...

I worry about this myself as I am 63 and care for my Dad who is 94. My fingers have kept up (for how long, I wonder.) but his have given out in a lot of ways. He is very independent for someone his...

Looks like a keeper.

Glad they seem to be okay. They're a very talented group.

So you can't just flip it and play it back the other way? I've done that with picks that warp.

My son lives in Rochester, MN, and I'm always in shock at the temperatures he faces this time of year.

I'll let you know how the hotrails sound when I get an amp. :)

Upgrade to a 750. She'll be ready for that soon enough! LOL. (I tried to interest my sons in mandolin to no avail, but I never expected my youngest to run out and buy a banjo -- the shame of it all!...

I use that kind of pick for a guitar, but for mandolin, I want something with more backbone, like a D'Andrea Proplec or a casein pick. To each his own.

I bought Monels while I investigate the XS/XT difference. I'll probably try the XS on my other mandolin -- as soon as I put a strap button on it.

Picks, strings, tuner, strap, tool, winder, cloth, humidifier, pencil... oh yeah, one mandolin.

Nice job... and a gorgeous Pava you got there!

Sweet. Nice picking.

I have an Eastman 605 and an old Stradolin my friend inherriited and gifted to me. I had the Stradolin cleaned and setup and it sounds better than my Eastman (except that I have one fret that isn't...

My wife hates my mandolin playing. The frequencies get to her. I play guitar and she loves it. I still play, but less when she's around.

Gotta get me one of these. :)

So it came back all set up, oiled and sounding pretty good. The tuners are even facing the right direction! Worth the expense, as good craftsman service usually is.

Thanks atsunrise! I have not experienced any of these problems but it's good to be aware of the risks. I'm currently working on a strad-o-lin project, but after that I'll probably get the Lakotah...
