    Re: Aged-tone?

    [QUOTE=Dan in NH;1933877]In this case the term specifically refers to wood that has been kiln dried i.e. torrefied.

    As I understand it (and I could be mistaken), torrefication happens in a...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    I'm not crazy about how the CT looks in the pictures, but when it's in motion it looks very different to me, like an interesting metallic finish rather than wood. It looks kind of dynamic as it...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    They sound pretty similar to me in the last video although of course it's hard to tell. If Klos is reading this thread I imagine a number of us would be interested in a back to back demo comparing...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    I think the carbon timber looks pretty cool in the video- more silvery than the brownish color on the website. I agree with the milli857 that the perpendicular grain seems meant to refer to the...
  6. Re: Would this be a good invention, or is there another solution?

    I think you are proposing to re invent the fotdella. Yo are certainly straying into oneman-band territory but you will be in good company:

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    What I notice is that the mandolin (seemingly the one and only at this point) sounds rather different depending on who is playing it. I'm not sure exactly what that means (It's all in the right hand...

    Re: The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

    Yeah the Hawk is a nice pick. Where did you buy one mandognome? Did you have to order it from the UK?
  9. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    I for one certainly won't be calling that one at a BG jam!
  10. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    personal preferences were expressed in the third sentence on the OP. I enjoyed the article you linked to.
  11. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    Near as I can tell, most of the "murdered girl ballads" are different from the murdered man ballads in that the suggested relationship is, beyond the romance, one of ownership. The man is slighted...

    perhaps this page will be helpful in your search: http://www.nkbma.com/jams---event-calendars.html
    if you are not near these jams perhaps the site organizers would know of others in your area. ...
  14. Re: Should I visit Eastman factory and buy a mando in China?

    I think Quint mandolins are made in China? You might get a better "bang for your buck" with him since he is a one man shop (I think?) and might make a deal, as well as an interesting experience. If...

    I would jump on the Pomeroy that listed today if I were you. https://www.mandolincafe.com/ads/212695#212695 I've only played one but it was very nice & they have a good reputation generally. Likely...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    Not sure, but one thing I'm intrigued by is the hollow neck. I wonder what it will do for the tone and the weight distribution. Presumably the head/neck would be lighter, which in theory sounds...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    I have similar feelings about that, but it seems like a number of companies have tried to make a go of it and failed. This suggests to me that it's not as simple as it seems. Of course there are...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    I think it would be very cool if Kentucky or Eastman made CF mandolins at import prices, but I don't think it makes sense to compare Klos to these companies & their pricing. I don't know much about...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    CF mandolins IME are like hen's teeth. I see zero on either reverb or ebay at the moment. I think the used examples I've noticed have been closer to 2500 than 1300. There are very few examples of...

    I don't use one myself, but it is my understanding that some people find that an armrest helps them to anchor their right hand or get a better angle on the strings or some such. And perhaps it is...

    I bought one of those and the geometry was odd. It wouldn't work for the archtop I wanted it for. It stood too far above the top. Not sure they would work on a pancake. Of course there could be...

    Ok, well I just thought it would be instructive if there was a video of someone playing the way you are describing & playing well. If the link is meant to suggest that Monroe had not mastered...
  24. Re: Convince me of the value of strict DUDU picking?

    I would be interested to see an example of proficient playing as you describe. I believe you that it exists, but the only times I've personally observed irregular playing of this sort, it has been...
  25. Re: Convince me of the value of strict DUDU picking?

    Seriously though I expect it has something to do with the percussive element of mandolin. Any deviation from the rhythm is a bit jarring and the likelihood you will be off rhythm increases if you...
