Fine solo arrangement and playing, Brad. Lovely tone too.
Just got done listening to Caterina Lichtenberg and Mike Marshall's CD of Bach inventions and felt inspired to play one. You can even watch it in 4k!

Enjoy and keep on picking!
I recently took delivery of the latest and one of the last heritage models to come out of Michael’s shop. I’ll let the photos do the talking!

A friend of my wife shared this CS Lewis quote (Circa 1948) with her a little while ago and I think it applies well here:

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™. :)
Glad I'm not the only one that is bothered by pick click.
It even bothers me when I hear it on recordings.
Kudos for your DIY ethic.
Your next step should be to remove all the thick gloss...
Now you can make a Bolo Tie with your Florida, great conversation piece.

I went out today to our town big chain grocery store to do some casual busking. Fallbrook is a small town (40,000) in rural North County San Diego that advertises itself as "The...
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...
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...
I was lucky enough to get to see Chris Thile in the ~250 seat Weill Recital Hall last night where he performed for about an hour and a half totally totally solo. Here's the set list, which I was...
Nicely played, and great acoustics! You obviously actually practise the mandolin, while I just surf the forum and watch other people play. :grin:

That's a pretty good deal for a bad case of MAS. Way to go.
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...
We have a duo (guitar/mando and sometimes mando/mando). We are interested in recording some of the Telemann Canonic duos on two mandos. We've done an initial recording of #3: Allegro. See below. It...
