Curious to hear any reviews from anyone who's had a chance to play it.

Thanks.

Neal

On a related note- has anyone played an older Newson (nitro finish- late 90s and earlier) vs his newer models? Any notable differences?

Very interested in all three builders and I'm looking for input from owners or anyone who's had a chance to A-B (or C) any of these mandolins. Tone, fit/finish, etc. I've read every thread on the...

Most definitely. PM would be great.

Subject says it all. I've searched the interwebs to no avail.

Email or phone would be great. Thanks!

Neal

Can someone send me a phone number for Paul Newson? His contact info seems to have disappeared from the Builders Database.

Thanks,

Neal

Thanks everyone. Super helpful and just what I was looking for.

I've got a tune that alternates between a Cm7 and F9, and I'm wondering if there's a workaround for the F9 chord. It's a big, difficult shift back and forth. Any one or two finger chord cheats or the...

Thanks for the great info almeriastrings. While I agree that this approach is the easiest/cleanest, and arguably doesn't require any 1/4" conversion save the benefit of having a carpenter jack, my...

Thanks Ray(T). I may be a bit confused at this point. For the sake of everyone's clarity, I'm going to try to summarize what I think is the consensus here:

(1) The old Dyn-M (or new Dyn Uni),...

It is my understanding that the older Dyn-M is dynamic (i.e., not phantom powered), whereas the new style includes a phantom-powered model (Dyn P48) and non-phantom-powered model (Dyn Uni).

See...

Thanks all. Seems fairly straightforward.

I have an internal K&K in my Flatiron but I'm not totally happy with it. May be upgrading mandolins in the near future and want to try the Dyn-M route...

Has anyone taken the step to actually connect the Dyn-M to a 1/4" carpenter jack? If so, what are your thoughts about it after the fact? I notice that Paul Hoffman from Greensky Bluegrass is doing...

Looking into a reverb pedal and wanted to see if anyone has used the M300 on an acoustic? Also looking at the TC Hall of Fame although I feel like the downloadable setting stuff is a bit over the...

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try to do my best w/ the EQ for now and will have my luthier work on moving it next time I'm in his neck of the woods. FYI- I spoke w/ K&K and they said that the...

Both are well attached. Using a Bluechip 60.

I guess I may have to try to get this thing unstuck and moved. It's x-braced, which creates a slightly different situation.

I'm getting a signal from both pickups. I assume it's wired correctly- straight from K&K. Installed with the supplied tape (2-layers), so it'll be a trick to move it around.

The high end/harshness...

All,

I recently had a K&K Mandolin Twin professionally installed in my Flatiron F5 Artist. I run the Twin into a Redeye, ending at a Soundcraft MFXi mixer. The problem I'm running into is that the...

I've been loving my strap although I have one HUGE issue...the strap has popped off of the tail button on my Flatiron F on three different occasions now. Two while I was playing (I caught it with my...

Thanks foldedpath. All good info.

Just for my own curiosity, though, do you have any idea what frequencies the demarcation points on the dial would generally correlate to? I'm interested in...

I have a basic question about the mid-EQ settings on my Soundcraft MFXI-8. Specifically, when looking at the mid-EQ knob (http://www.soundcraft.com/serve-me-this/2513), the dial goes from 150HZ at...

All,

I'm hoping to pick up a used Calton case, but can't seem to find a definitive thread regarding the "eras" of cases, if you will.

Specifically, there's apparently a series of cases where...

I also found that aiming the mic a bit below the back of the treble f-hole drastically changed both the volume and tone (for the better) and cut out most of the annoying pick noise.

I worked with the mic position and have to say that I was definitely not hitting the sweet spot before. I aimed towards the back of the treble f-hole (as noted above) and that really changed the...

Thanks foldedpath. I'll play with the mic positioning at our gig tonight although I'm generally setting it up as you describe (I may have actually read that same info from you in another thread). ...
