I'm seeing Sasquatch.
A friend of mine who lives nearby owns a beat up Nugget F5. It has tone for days and some badass projection. Almost unreal.
I learned Leather Britches from John Reischman at a music camp in 1992. It's still one of my warm up tunes. A great one to get your picking hand in order.
If I did buy one the first thing I'd do is remove that ridiculous pick guard.
In my experience there's a sweet spot of being buzzed, warmed up and playing freely. The trick is not imbibing yourself past that sweet spot into incoherence.
It's been my experience that a lot of instrument cases could be unlocked with a simple twist of a small or medium sized screwdriver.
Perhaps not with higher end cases.
I once saw a harp ukulele at the La Conner guitar festival.
Here's the really bad photo I took of it.210058
What in the dickens are these "packages" which, according to the website, supposedly have odor?
I've mostly been a buyer on Reverb. Years ago I listed a lightly used 2015 D-18. There were no scammers but the low-baller trolls were thick. Many low-ball offers.
The worst one was a lowball of...
I use a free app called InsTune on iOS. It's chromatic so I use it with guitar and mandolin. It's accurate with an easy to use interface. An excellent app for tuning in a quiet space like your living...
I reshaped a tortoise shell pick using wet/dry carborundum sand paper in a shallow baking tray filled with about 1/2 inch of water.
Use a pulling motion across the sand paper. I used 200 and 400...
Those prices should keep the riff raff out.
Pardon me while I go to...Smell the Glove.
"As always Mark Demaray did a fabulous job curating the Vintage Instruments Workshop sponsored by Jason Verlinde's Fretboard Journal..... & new strings provided by D'addario. Matt Flinner & Darrell...
I'm late to this thread. I was there for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I was amused by the designated jam spots at the Westin. So inspiring!
I think the board of directors need to read the room when...
I recently did some work on the saddle of my Gibson and had all the strings off so I took the opportunity to clean the fretboard. I used a microfiber cloth sprayed sparingly with Murphy's Oil Soap. I...
Love Bug trailer with picnic table, umbrella, coleman lantern, beer cooler.
I own one of each. (see signature) I love them both. The Gibson is sweeter sounding in a way. It has the high lonesome sound in spades. It will produce a great old timey tremolo which sounds spot on...
I love the design of the body. Very cool. They look like they're built by a pro.
Awesome job.
A beautiful mandolin to be sure. Elegant is a good word for it. I wonder about the uncompensated saddle though. It could be a tuning nightmare.
I had a cheaper mandolin in my beginner days that...
A similar thing happened to me while tuning up a monel set of D'Addario strings. One of the e strings broke.
I emailed a photo of the string and it's packaging and they sent me two e strings and...
The seller might be in "sirius" trouble with a loan shark and they need 25 large real quick.
I think almost any phosphor-bronze string will give you more projection. A popular type with mandolin players is the D'Addario EJ74s. They might be beefier than you'd want. You could try the EJ73 for...
Yes. Bluegrass.
Some Irish tunes and old timey
There is the button labeled "music". I guess that's the catch-all for everything humans have come up with.
BTS Army, Bey Hive and Swifties? ...What?
