    Re: The Life of Loar Deserves a Film

    I would venture to guess that most people have no idea who The Louvin Brothers were but I'm guessing that there will be a lot more visitors to the Mando Cafe after Ethan Hawke's portrayal of Ira in...

    Re: Anyone use an octave pedal?

    I picked up an Eastwood MandoMagic on one of their on-line sales awhile back. It's basically a EM version of a Gibson Marauder and it has satisfied my EM needs for now. I'll probably pick up a new...

    Re: Djangolin, D.J. Hodson, Selmer Mandolin

    Howdy,

    I've got a Hodson. It was my first mandolin and I think it sounds great for blues and folk but I kind of think the same thing about most SelMac guitars perhaps because I never really...

    Re: Brought home a Buckeye!

    Another quick update: The honeymoon phase with The Buckeye is still going strong. It's got tone that always makes me smile and continues to inspire me to play it every chance I get.

    Re: New Mandolindo by KR Strings

    Wahoo, the Octolindo OM has arrived! It's gorgeous!

    Yes, as mentioned in the previous thread, without a "Florida" extension, a bracket would most likely be needed to stabilize the pickguard. ...

    Re: Tristan Scroggins on Eastwood Electrics

    If dilution is the solution to pollution then compression must be the solution to E-mando E string diminution. Or that seems to be the subliminal message written in so many E-mando reviews. I'm...

    Re: In Praise of Matt Flinner's Classes

    Matt is one of the best teachers I've studied with period. The amount of material that he provides in class each week is just the right amount of material to study in a week. I've never felt that I...

    Re: Octolindo on the way!

    I requested a small floating pick guard for my Buckeye F5 and Pete said that it helps to have the Florida extension (fretted or not - I got mine unfretted) to help anchor the floating pick guard to...

    Re: Octolindo on the way!

    I'm guessing that you're referring to the Mandolindo which looks like with some minor retuning would make a nice cavaquinho. The guitar shaped 8 string arch top octave mandolin offered up as an...
  14. Re: Does this guitar speed picking technique work for mando?

    Certainly "the rules" exist for a reason but there's nothing wrong with breaking them if the results are good. For instance, in the Howard Armstrong thing that I mentioned, you can play the notes in...
  15. Re: Does this guitar speed picking technique work for mando?

    I'm not sure that I completely understand the question, but, as a general rule, if you're having trouble getting fiddle tunes up to speed it's most likely an issue with pick direction. The general...

    Shaun,

    Sorry to reply so late but I'm only now just seeing your post. Yes, life is good here in the land of fish tacos. I'm still jonesin' for a nice arch top OM but the 5 string tenor arch top...

    Howdy,

    How do you like the new Octolindo? Did you keep it or send it back after someone recently posted that there was a Clark OM for sale?

    Re: Octolindo on the way!

    Well, I've been saving up for an OM for awhile now. The Northfield Archtop OM and the Octolindo are both at the top of my wishlist but I've never played either. I've loved what I've heard on...

    Podcasts come and go and while Cocaine and Rhinestones is, by far, the best podcast on 20th Century Country Music, it is, IMHO, one of the best podcasts ever! It's a perfect example of what a...

    A few years back I drove out from San Diego to The Mandolin Store when they were still in Phoenix for a weekend of hiking and mandolin/guitar shopping. I didn't expect to like the Pono Terse shaped...

    Re: The "legitimate classical instrument" thing..

    Interesting discussion. People just seem to love categorizing things and hate-ahs are always gonna hate.

    And in the interest of self awareness, I continue to be surprised of how guilty I am of...
  22. Re: Recommendations for a great Jazz tenor guitar?
