I usually tune mine DGDAE (low to high). I find I prefer the low D to the low C for the keys I normally play. I don't recall offhand what string gauges I use.

A large-diaphragm condenser ("LDC") is a type of microphone, contrasted with dynamic, ribbon, and small-diaphragm condenser ("SDC") microphones. Some well-known high-end LDCs are the Neumann U-87...
If she's using the Schatten P/U shown, I'd suspect any damping effect is more from the P/U clamped to the bridge than from the Carpenter jack. As others have said, a Carpenter jack clamps to the rim...
What about "underneath the seat in front of you"?
I often see women with babies on planes, and wonder whether the baby is expected to fit "underneath the seat or in the overhead bin."
The producer acknowledges that his use of the term "cross picking" is not standard. He uses it to refer to an in-and-out "curved" motion of the pick. (Cf. 12:20 to 12:30.) He differentiates it...
I tend to think of Irish jigs when I think of 6/8, phrased ONE-two-three TWO-two-three. 3/4 usually sounds: ONE-and TWO-and THREE-and. NW sounds to me to be in 6/8, not 3/4.
Got mine just before New Years. Lovely book; clearly a lot of effort went into it. Thanks, Graham!
In my experience, there are three common 4-string guitar tunings: CGDA (like the tenor banjo), GDAE, and DGBE (the so-called "Chicago" tuning). I personally call them all tenor guitars, even though...
I have one, It's pretty decent acoustically and plugged in, but not spectacular. How much is your friend asking?
You might look into the Epiphone MM-50E, a similar instrument that I like a bit...

I was playing at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (Jazz Fest) back in about 1988. I got to talking with a thin medium-height redheaded fellow near the Cajun stage. He asked me if I'd heard...

Sad news indeed. I met him a number of years ago in SF, where he showed me one of his instruments, which he was just beginning to produce. Nice fellow.
For "cloyingly romantic," "Maggie" is one of my favorites. Maura O'Connell has a lovely version from "American Music Shop" with the Chieftains and Jerry Douglas on YouTube:

Redwood might work, but there's a reason why spruce is the "industry standard." I'd suggest finding a luthier, describing the sound you want, and work with them to choose the wood.
I second the...
Suitable "nautical themed" material -- like "A Capital Ship" (aka "The Walloping Window Blind") -- might work for your character.
Yes, Baring-Goulds "Annotated SH" is great, though...
I'm not aware of anything for the mandolin that's comparable to the Tric case. Unfortunate, because I love my Trics for guitar.
I too am willing to upgrade his order from a softbound version to a hardbound version if that's feasible.
Thanks for all the work, Graham! I'm in.
Jack Tuttle (who teaches at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto CA) has a couple of good BG fakebooks as well, one entitled the "Really Good Book of Standard Bluegrass Lyrics," the other...
If you don't have a ToneGard, I'd recommend that as the best "instant" improvement in instrument tone/volume, if you hold the instrument against your body. A plus is that you can use it with your...

For lightweight protection, I'm a big fan of the Godin TRIC cases. I don't know if one of them is shaped appropriately for your instrument. Here's a link:
