    Re: The Dark Side (Banjo)

    You can always try a mandolin banjo. Same fingering as mandolin, but gives a banjo sound and LOUD if you want it to be! I recently bought a new one, made in the UK, but I hear there are plenty of...

    I've tried using a coin when I couldn't find a pick. Don't really recommend it!

    Mandolin Banjos Group

    Sorry to dare to utter the dreaded ‘B’ (for banjo) word on the Forum. I sincerely hope it won’t evoke a torrent of scorn! I already owned two mandolins (see my signature below) but, yes, I...

    Re: New Gig: Restaurant Mandolinist

    Think, Elvis-"It's Now or Never" (for O Sole Mio) and make sure you don't swivel the hips too much!

    And for Return to Sorrento, think Elvis "So My Darling Please Surrender"

    With all these...

    Re: Chris Thile Signing Mandolins?

    Re: Adding picking to my strumming

    Same here. In fact, I've never been a fan of chord playing whether on guitar, banjo or mandolin. I find a melody much more satisfying to play and far easier on the ear. Picking a tune I know well by...

    Re: Hi Folks...

    Well done on getting a bowlback. Lots of stuff about these lovely old instruments on the Forum, most importantly how to hold them! You will find the effort well worth it.
