Yep, definitely something I do. I've done it more with drumming than mandolin (only a few years in on mandolin) and I've been able to figure out drum patterns and parts by just thinking through...

Thanks Mike and Robert! I'll check those out.

@Robert - A friend has a bridge fitting jig that I'm going to use. If I keep it cheap and I mess up, I'll by another!

Hey all! So I got a sweet deal on a KM-150 to use as a traveling mandolin. It sounds and plays amazing! Problem is the bridge looks beat. The saddle leans towards the tailpiece and the rest of...

+1 on Android version. This is awesome (and I'll use it on my iPad), but I'll never understand why anyone would build an app first for a phone with less than a 13% market share.

While I don't mind them together, I'd personally like to see an indicator if it's a retail or private sale. Typically you can tell just by reading it, but if there was some sort of badge, that would...

Dang it! Sorry about that. A friend told me about Fullers last week, but didn't remember the location. Should have looked it up!

Here are a couple in the DFW area that usually have a decent selection:

I did it in my late teens and early twenties. It was always a blast, except for the guy who always yelled "Freebird!" :mad: It's just plain fun and it gives you a chance to play and practice in...

Completely agree, though most I know aren't grudging about it (we must have different circles :) ), but do so with an appreciation of the music. At some point the challenge of rock just doesn't cut...

You can clearly see another name was present under the Gibson logo. :))

I'm a visual learner, so does anyone have a video of this process? I feel like I take forever changing strings, and I'd love a new technique to cut this time down!

Welcome to the community, Em Tee! Great choice with the Kentucky!

I spend around $70 for my set up/check up every year. I'd ask exactly what the luthier is going to do for the cost. They should...

+1 to the NS Micro. Just picked one up, and I'm surprised at how accurate it is. Blows my Snark out of the water.

Please change my username to Kris N. Thank you!

I somewhat disagree. If you actually use some of the other services that the Prime fee gets you, it can be a great deal. Just using Prime video ($8.99 a month stand-alone) and Prime music (not to...

+1 to Amazon. The price is on par with everyone else, and when its not, its usually only $1 higher. With some strings you can even get a 15% discount if you set it up on quarterly auto ship. If...

She bought the cheapest ticket available. Doesn't mean they should have been that aggressive with her. See Tobin's post above for details.

I certainly believe in "overnight improvement." Some of the most complex drumming I've learned hasn't been at my drum kit. It may start there with a few trial and errors, but with continual thought...

Jumping in to say I'm another fan of the Eastman 515. The build, quality, sound and play-ability is excellent for a $1000 instrument. Then again, it's what I own and I'm a bit biased. :grin: In my...

I this just popped up on my Facebook feed and I was blown away. All the time you spend tuning a mandolin to get it just right... This might just change my life.

Has anyone ever used the original?...

I would say it depends on what your used to. If you have other Apple products, go for Apple. If you have Android, go for the Samsung. If neither, Apple is actually more user friendly to most first...

+1 on not understanding the sanding marks and definitely not liking the color.

However, maybe someone will like that rough, unfinished sanding, look? That's the beauty of so many different...

Thanks for the audio upload! Very interesting and neat!

It looks cool, but I'm skeptical. I got a fidget spinner for my wife the other day and any minor touch slows it down tremendously, if not stops it. Then again, a bass's strings aren't under as much...

I'm interested in how it sounds. Any chance you could do an audio clip or video?
