Oh yeah, 0 <= phi <= 2pi generates on complete arch, although the geeks out there already knew that.

Let:

1) The neck be the y axis
2) let H be the height of the arch measured at the center of the instrument
3) Let W be the width of the mandolin measured from the y axis to the edge, along the x...

Time to get out the old Spirograph.

I'm finally getting around to responding to this post. My 2-point F-hole, x-braced Sucek is the fraternal twin of Lee957's oval hole.

Here's a brief summary of my thoughts:

Tone: very very...

I've branched off from some of the links mentioned here and have found a treasure trove of information.

Regarding the tenor banjo, my preliminary research shows that the "Irish" tuning is GDAE,...

Thanks for the relplies. I've checked out the recommended sites. I think I'll start with the Tony Nother CD's and get myself a new metronome (I'm convinced my QuickTime one has been dropped too many...

Would anybody out there in Cafeland be able to suggest a list of the most popular tunes for accompanying Irish dancing?

My 5-year-old daughter's best friend has become quite involved in the Irish...

In Zenkl's case, make that "finger, pencil-eraser and whatever else is at hand"-style.

Does anybody have the chords or, even better, sheet music for the song "Natten har Tusen Ogen", which translated from the Swedish means "The Night has a Thousand Eyes".

I'm pretty sure that is is...

Craig and Carrie:

FYI, when you get Pendleton home, you don't need to weigh the diapers everytime you change one.

I remember it taking a few days to adjust to post-NICU life.

Good luck!

I second Typsy Gypsy.

Steven Andersen make a great A. He's done work for some big names, including a totally crazy custom job for Radm Zenkl (Gallactic Mandolin album).

I tried one at Old Town Pick'n Parlor and nothing...

Ostroushko may not no much about bulk strings since he only changes his once year.

The Andersen A at Old Town Pick'n Parlor is unbelievable. I keep hoping $3500 will fall out of the sky so I can get it.

I own a two-point, f-hole sucek. I've really enjoyed it since taking posession this spring.

The only thing I wasn't really pleased with was the bridge. When I got the mando the bridge was set all...

Mandoplyr:

Thanks for the advice regarding new strings. I'll get a new set on for a few days before compensating the bridge.

Now I just hope that I don't overcompensate; I've been told that I...

Sunburst:

Thanks.

That makes intuitive sense.

Unfortunately, all I have is an electronic tuner and pickup. It gives pretty stable readings with the pickup and gives readings with a...

I am just finishing up a one-piece ebony bridge, based on the Red Henry design, for my Sucek 2-point mandolin. Even without the final compensation and notching, the bridge sounds excellent.

I am...

I visited the Breedlove shop a year or so ago. I remember being told that Randy Breedlove does the final tuning of the tops on the mandolins above the Quartz line.

I remember comparing the Quartz...

Played this one on Monday:



If you have the cash, go buy it.

Better than "sea-foam green" if you ask me, which, I realize, you didn't. # http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

What kind of tuners and tailpiece are you putting on the tour mando. #Just for kicks, I'm considering a new tailpiece. I'm curious to see what you think after you get the new one on the...

I have only a few minutes before I have to get back to work so I'll post a brief review. I'll try to give more details later.

My Sucek Two-Point F-hole, which acquired just a few weeks ago is a...
