Curious what the bracing looks like. On myH1201, it looks like someone tried to stick 2x4’s in with as much hide glue as they could manage.

UniTunes are like hen’s teeth in Europe. I just ordered one from Thomann.es, and the wait will be “a couple of months”. I pulled the trigger because the Snark is absolutely no help in trying to get...
Excellent, Frank, I admire the feeling you’re able to put across in these waltzes.
After getting "Mandolin for Dummies", the next instructional book I got was "30 Fiddle Tunes for Mandolin". The choice of tunes plus Butch's effortless playing bowled me over, and continues to be an...
Gosh, the 'cello sounds gorgeous in that space. the player ain't bad either. :))
Ciao Giuseppe, mi è piaciuta la storia di questo mandolino!
Anche puoi contattare Corrado Giacomel a Genova, non molto lontano da Torino. È un liutaio di mandolini bravissimo.

I have a NoHype Audio LRM-2 I like a lot - high-quality and affordable:

Sounds like you know already, but don't forget ribbons pick up as much in the back...
Ha, you think I would have figured that out, after 40 years of music videos! Regardless, it's a good tool, and you've used it well.
Oh yea, diptanshu, that was lovely, and in a pretty place as well. I love the sound of that Gibson.
May I ask where the mic or mics are placed? It seems like even when you turn your head, the...
Really nice work, John.
For those of us who don't know, what is reaction wood?
Great score, Jim, it’s in good hands. What I want to know is - how does it smell? Must be quite different than one that’s been played all its life.
Hey DaveG, if you had any experience with recording or live sound consoles, give Harrison Mixbus a try. It's a very intuitive interface for old "tapeheads" like me, the instructional videos are very...
Great news! Cant wait to hear it - like many, I'm a huge BB fan, and also intrigued by the approach.
…and after watching the (extremely addicting) Easy Composites video series, kudos as well, Steve. I can only sort of imagine the hours spent researching, reformulating and lying awake at night to go...
Right direction indeed, Steve! I'm convinced - add me to the virtual waiting list.
I’m really enjoying the two records, especially the contributions of the mandolin player, young David Grisman.
I believe the records are originally from 1965 and 1973.
Thanks Matt, I’ll be placing my order shortly. $12.00US seems right to me.
I love that it’s an exercise book as well as the transcriptions. One of my favorite albums.
Nice. Cherry's a really fine neck and body wood choice.
Sorry, I should have added that that my experience with GE's was nothing like the Bob's - mine were just stiff.
I personally love 309's, but on my new mandolin, I've got Schaller GrandTunes, and they're really nice. Also 18:1.
I didn't like Rubners for the fact they were 15:1, but are obviously well-made,...
Actually John, I noticed that too, and I'm on a robust fibre connection. Must be an issue with the server host.
Thanks for the link to Nigel's tunes, John. It's throwing a 403 error, so use this link instead: http://www.nigelgatherer.com/tunes.html
Thanks, glad you like it - I did it a good while ago, and of course only hear the warts.
I think you'll like the shift in tonality. Your Weber is sonically everything my Eastman would want to be,...
Slight regional deviation ... listening to all this great stuff reminds me of when I first moved to Barcelona. I got turned on to an iconoclastic group called Kalakau, who, along with hurdy-gurdy...
Although not in the Joe Walsh/Shlapanitsa/TM Sweeney league, I did a track a while ago in which I used the John Reischman trick of octave-stringing my dola, meaning it's still in CGDA, but I...
