    Blue Virginia Blues

    Who played mandolin on Larry Sparks- Blue Virginia Blues? I've been really into the playing all over Larry's Classic Bluegrass album, and I'd love to know who handled the mandolin picking.

    Re: Columbia ohio jams?

    I believe there's a jam at Bluegrass Musician's Supply on South High Street Saturday. Maybe around noon. Other than that, the two jams I know of are Tuesday and Thursday, so that won't help you.

    Re: Armrest keeps falling off

    I decided to go with Soliver's idea. I made a small plate and just glued it to the back of the clamp. The glue is setting now, so I'll try it out tomorrow.

    I used aluminum, because i had some...

    Re: Armrest keeps falling off

    It looks like more than cork is needed, at least on the back. Here's a couple of pictures.

    Re: Armrest keeps falling off

    Soliver,
    I bet that would work. I'll have to take a look at the armrest & bracket to confirm that there's enough length on the mounting screws. I wonder if the top of the armrest needs a similar...

    Armrest keeps falling off

    I have a McClung armrest for my Phoenix mandolin and I really like the way it makes my picking hand move around the mandolin. There's only one problem- it doesn't clamp quite right to the top/back....

    Re: Playing Chords on an Oval Hole?

    You could try listening to the Blue Sky Boys for ideas. Lots of cool accompaniment going on, and you can clearly hear the mandolin. Lots of short arpeggios, some tremolo, etc.

    Re: Phoenix 1 3/16" nut questions

    I have one. It sounds awesome, not tinny at all. It's very full and rich sounding. It does perhaps feel a bit stiff, but the action is set higher than my lost mandolin. I think the higher action is...

    Re: Michael Kelly hidden treasure...

    I had really good results removing the thick finish from a cheapy yamaha guitar. It made a huge difference in the sound. To my ears it "opened up" the sound, it felt like the instrument was less thin...
