I've got a Ric and an EM-200. I think the Ric is very easy to play. It's got a wider fretboard than the EM-200 and I find it easier to get around on. It's also lighter than the

Wow.Thanks for the links. There is a lot of information there. I'll have to try and get ahold of his album. Meanwhile, I'll try out some of those techniqes for the ornamentations-if I can follow the...
I stumbled upon a photo of Suresh Kumar, a student or disciple of U. Srinivas , and the mando he plays looks decidedly different than the one U. Srinivas plays-it has more of a heavy metal axe look...
Glad to hear everything worked out for you in your dealings with abstractlogix.com. Now I can rest easy and buy more stuff from them.
What thread are you referring to where Spruce said that U....
Thanks for the link. I just listened to today's show with Charlie Musselwhite. Good stuff.

There is a VCD (video CD) out that features U. Srinivas and his brother U. Rajesh in concert in India. They also have a CD called Mystic Raptures. I got them at www.abstractlogix.com. Both the...
"I Feel Fine"-the main riff and the solo work perfectly on mando.
The sarod part on "The Inner Light" is fun to play.
"She's A Woman" as a fiddle tune that I got off the album "Beatles Country" by...

Thanks for the info, Joel. Do you know if there's anything currently commmercially available?
I'd like to see Tiny Moore in action. I notice there are some videos and DVDs of Bob Wills, Western Swing in general and Merle Haggard in concert available. Does anyone know if
there is any footage...
Do you know what kind of stuff he'll be demonstrating in the workshop? Will he be handing out any written material or is it best to bring a tape recorder? Are you expected to bring your mandolin with...
Those are pretty lousy pictures. The pickguard could be tortoiseshell, I guess. You can get some info on Fender electric mandolins at www.provide.net/~cfh/fender2.html#mando
To date a Fender...
I don't think that's a 1960 model. Shouldn't there be a peghead decal that says "Original Contour Body"? Also, with the black pickguard and black case it looks like a model from the '70s.
What are the gauges of the stock strings on the Mandobird?
