Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
No, but sometimes I get a hint of very good chimes or bells.
Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
Funny you should ask. My Weber Yellowstone 2Pt sounds a bit like a basset horn sometimes, especially the lower register. But that probably doesn't qualify as a 'real' horn. I like it, though. Kinda growly.
My RD sounds pretty pure. Not at all horny.:whistling:

I imagine sax notes when my band plays jazzy numbers and it's my turn to solo:mandosmiley:
Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
Monroe's band came about in the big band era. The mandolin bounces between being the snare drum and the clarinet.
On a similar note, one night in a jam on stage at a local venue a lady was playing an electric mandolin that was out of tune. My friend Larry looked at me and said "Is there an accordion playing?"
Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
Thank you gentlemen, good point about the Big Band era Mike. I do have clarinet and/or wooden flute floating around in my head.
Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
I think it depends on the insurance company. Insurance companies focused on the needs of musicians will allow you to determine its worth, and establish the premiums accordingly. A non musician focused insurance company, or a rider on your homeowners, can be nutty. Its amazing what "replacing in kind" might mean to them. Read the fine print and ask the PIA questions.

I dunno, some insurance companies have horns (on their heads).
Actually, though, a mandolin sounds most like a double-coursed banjo, let's face it. ;)

Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
I know what you are talking about. I get it on my G and D courses when the mando really wakes up. Some kind of magic happens and certain notes just project like crazy. I too think of it as kind of a growl. I assumed it was maybe some kind of imbalance/imperfection in the instrument, as it is not uniform with mine, but I really like when it happens. It feels like amplification with a little distortion or something.
Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
I always hear people crying whenever I play.
Re: Hearing Horns in Solos?
No, but the neighbor says, "I liked hearing you play your piano earlier," after playing my mandolins when I haven't touched our piano that day. I guess a mandolin out a window or through the walls could sound like a piano... I live in a town-home.
