    Re: RIP Alan Niederland

    From the moment I met Alan Niederland we were brothers and beloved friends, as can be seen not an uncommon experience for so many both in this digital space and anywhere else in the world lucky...

    Re: The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

    Mark it's not a conspiracy. I clearly stated my intentions more than once in this thread, even addressed you personally about my role, and have done what was requested by sending out the samplers....

    Re: The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

    Good morning all you wonderful pickers! This will be my last update on the MC Pick Sampler lists because as I've stated multiple times in recent posts, the day both samplers have shipped is the day...

    There's no stopping now, Stopstop! :mandosmiley:

    Yes, there are way too many picks but it's so much fun to try as many as your fingers can stand and then sending the horde on to the next victim,...

    I will wait another day to get an address from NotReadyForProd (there wasn't one in their original DM) for Sampler #2. If I don't...

    Good news! The internationally famous MC Pick Sampler #1 is out for delivery this afternoon to Stopstop.

    For the second sampler, I had reached out to the next five names in the list but have only...

    Re: The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

    Nah, I just kept the lights on a while longer so a few more folks could have some fun. The true thanks goes to Caleb (the patron saint of mandolin picks) and the generous lot who built both samplers...

    Re: The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

    Thanks to all for the patience I forced upon you, but at least the interminable wait is over! Both pick samplers have been checked and are ready to ship out. I've seen a dozen attempts by various...

    Re: The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

    I'm still around, just haven't been posting much to the forum over the last year or so.

    The pandemic certainly made the decision easier but the pick samplers actually went on hiatus because...
  10. Re: Best Mandolin for Traveling From Sea Level to High Desert?

    The promised update is here, and the 1N handled the climate transition with steady aplomb after leaving the unseasonably cool SC Lowcountry to climb to a very, very windy and dry desert, even with a...

    Re: NMD: Northfield F5S Amber

    Oh my beloved mando-bro Drew, so that's the reason for the gleam in your eye the first time you picked a tune on Squeeze...you were wondering if she had a younger sister just as blonde. Not only is...
  12. Re: Best Mandolin for Traveling From Sea Level to High Desert?

    How serendipitous to come across this thread as I'm currently on my way to the airport from my near-sea level home for a vacation in the high desert of NM. Bringing the Flatiron 1N which I figure...

    Re: EastWOOD electric mandolin

    Yes, Aquila makes two sets of strings for fifths tuning on either acoustic Soprano (GDAE) or Concert (CDGA) ukeleles. I use the AQ30s on the banjolele and they make it a fun if not very practical...

    Re: EastWOOD electric mandolin

    Soprano Uke (like my banjolele) is more suited to GDAE. Tenor is better converted to a mandola (CGDA). Use a string tension calculator and grab either a cheap six-string electric set that has closest...

    Re: Sarah Jarosz on Austin City Limits

    Too bad I missed this (for now) if for no other reason than curiosity. Would be interesting to see if it was the same set as when I saw Sarah at Spoleto just this last Sunday. Her first live...

    FYI, the infamous traveling pick sampler(s) is/are about to relaunch so keep an eye out for my announcement in the next few weeks. No better way to try out 100+ different types of picks for just the...

    Re: Where are the ' Big guys ' ?

    Stephen tried to propose a Model 1-for-pick sampler in-kind trade but he balked at spending the additional cash necessary to make it a fair value exchange. I couldn't wait for his next F5 to be...

    Re: Inexpensive solid body electrics

    Bought one of these in ivory about a year and a half ago for quiet late night jamming on an 8 string vs. my Mandobird IV. There's a lot to complain about it but perhaps the worst sin is the 9th fret...

    Re: Pick Samplers Still Circulating?

    The short answer is 'No'. They are not still circulating and haven't been since late 2019.

    The slightly longer answer is more positive. Both samplers are intact, in hand, and will be relaunched...

  24. Re: Live From Here - Is There a Better Music Show ANYWHERE?

    An interesting theoretical question, but you may be phrasing it from a slightly outdated view of the show. While in the beginning it certainly carried over much of its predecessor's basic form, as of...
  25. Re: Live From Here - Is There a Better Music Show ANYWHERE?

    Just last month the term de jour was 'pretentious', and now it's 'smug'. At least y'all are consistent with the synonyms.
