  10. Re: Just removed my "Florida"...myself..with a coping saw...

    You may have to take the strings off but if you square it off and remove the fret you should be able to create a ledge to finish it off with binding. You might have a long enough piece that you could...

    What brand of coping saw did you use? I hear that Blue Chip will carry them soon in a Floridectomy Kit™. :)

    Re: How do you approach a complex piece of music

    That's nicely played, well done. I've already listened to it a few times and I'm sure, along with a couple of other versions performed on the mandolin, I'll be listening/watching them repeatedly...
  17. Re: How do you approach a complex piece of music

    Bravo! Beautifully played, Traveling Tracks, and your advice is spot on - if not for the OP or anyone else, it is spot on for me. The only time I encounter difficulty memorizing/learning a piece of...

  22. Re: I just squelched the burning desire of MAS!

    I did something similar recently with my Collings MT. It had a buzz on one of the D-strings, so I took it to George Youngblood's shop in Guilford, CT. He adjusted the nut, dressed the first few...
