    Re: How's She Lookin' Now?

    What a beauty! The headstock would be a plus point for me. It's an honest, and fairly common break.
    Glad to see some Handel tuners in action.

    Re: Fretless mandolin?

    I like it. Soothing indeed.

    I am utterly ignorant of the proper terminology and forms of various folk music forms ranging from the middle to far east, but to my novice ears this recording seems...

    Re: Tristan Scroggins on Eastwood Electrics

    Thanks for sharing those Scott! Those Eastwood electrics are intriguing to a lot of us. It's good to see product demo's done by someone who actually a recognized player. Tristan did a wonderful...
  11. Re: Overwhelmed beginner - merging of styles/genres?

    Welcome to the club! I tend to think and play outside the traditional bluegrass box. I have nothing more really to add, other to say that the previous posters have given you some good information.

    Re: Gibson epiphone red mandolin

    The MM-20 is the "most affordable" line of mandolins available from Epiphone. $100 sounds about right.

    Here's an older thread about these.

    And another.
  13. Re: Gig or inexpensive case for Ibanez tenor guitar

    Glad to see your endorsement of this instrument. I've been looking at a lot of tenor guitars lately and hoping to scratch that itch soon. I've looked at this model and wondered if it was too good...

    Re: Bevel on a mandolin

    I have a couple of mandolins that are not bound and are very comfortable in this regard.

    I lifted a photo of a Weber Gallatin from Cafe sponsor The Mandolin Store that shows the smooooooth...

    Re: Clown Barf Construction

    I believe there is an added ingredient. They are multi-colored celluloid that is bound with a substance(?) called Mojotone.

    It was a byproduct of the Staten Island Project (down the hall from...

    Re: What is a good beginner song to learn-

    I've always thought 'Amazing Grace' was a good song to start on. Familiar to many listeners. Slow tempo. Three chords - G,C, & D. The melody notes fall nicely on the D and A strings.

    Re: Something different

    An obvious beauty! If its playable, I think it deserves a good owner and regular stage time. I bet the back story is a whopper!
  19. Re: Octave mandolin advantages for an established guitar player?

    What a wonderful, intimate performance! Thank you for sharing.

    Talk about two musicians in harmony with each other! A great example of how good players "tune" themselves to the needs of the...
  20. Re: Octave mandolin advantages for an established guitar player?

    I figure if there's board with frets on it, I'd be wasting the instrument's potential to not try to use all of it in one fashion or another. Try those chord shapes across and up the board, there's a...
  21. Re: Octave mandolin advantages for an established guitar player?

    You can slap on a capo at the fifth fret to unleash the hidden mandola that comes free with the purchase of every octave. This also gives you a chance to play around and get comfortable with the...
  22. Re: Octave mandolin advantages for an established guitar player?

    Straight away strumming with guitar and octave mandolin is a dead end for me. Find other things to do with the instrument. Here's an example of using the low strings as a percussive drone. In a...

    Re: Surprising mando songs?

    I've been messing around with Donovan's "Season of the Witch" and the horn fills on "Mustang Sally."

    The Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is kinda fun on mando too!
