Thanks Chris. Can this be used for mandocello? It seems to be for guitar . . . but I've only watched the video so far?

I've had a quick play with the free version of tabledit & it seems OK. I'm going to explore it a little further. Ultimately I think that learning to read sheet music will be best in the long run but...

Hi Folks

I have been progressing through the Mandolin Blues Book, which has taken me quite a few months. At the end it talks of Blue Chord Progressions: 8 bar, 12 bar etc. I'm a little confused...

Hi Folks

I'm trying to learn some music on my mando that involves a pick slap. Could anyone help with the technique please as I don't quite get it.

Cheers

Martin

Thanks to everyone that responded. You've helped me decide to go for the Brit. I'm going to own it for a long time (hopefully) & so I want something that I'm going to feel proud to own. I don't need...

Hi Folks
I’ve been looking for a mandocello & I live in the UK. These things seem to be mutually exclusive. However, I have the opportunity of buying a British built basic acoustic m’cello or a mass...

Hi Folks
Im still trying to find a mandocello here in the UK. Absolutely nothing available. However I’ve come across an Ozark 2246 Guitar /Bouzouki. I suspect the quality will be poor but before...

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to upgrade the tuning pegs, if they are weak or poorly made?

Hi All
I did start a thread on this yesterday but where it now is is a mystery! So if you come across another post of mine on the same subject, please accept my apologies.
Anyway, I'm struggling...

Hi
I’m thinking of converting a guitar into a mandocello but wondered how you remark the fretboard with the dots between the right frets.
Many thanks

Hi Folks
Crikey, mandocellos are difficult to get hold of in the UK!
I read a few threads about Suzuki mandocellos & wondered what the general view is? Are they decent quality & worth buying . . ....

It’d be interesting to know how they compare with the Gold Tone mandocello. Both are comparable prices but seem to be completely different instruments.

Hi Folks
I’m looking at potentially buying a mandocello. I’ve come across a British make called Hathway. The instruments look good but they don’t have an adjustable bridge. My original mandolin...

Is the D'Addario micro tuner instrument specific or the same one be used on a mandolin, guitar, banjo etc
Cheers

Thanks
I was starting to feel lonely.!

Hi All
It would be great to meet up with some local learner/player/enthusiasts? Anyone in South Devon, UK?
Cheers

Good question!
I’ve got an old BlueMoon which I’ve marked up with a permanent marker to help me while learning. I only recently purchased the Eastman, which is such a lovely instrument that I’m...

Thanks Matt. This is really helpful, particularly the pics. I'll spend a bit more time on it & maybe give you a shout if I cannot fix the problem. I'm currently learning a lot of background stuff...

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have a leather strap on my Eastman but not on the cheapo one that I am using to learn on. I think an arm rest & tone guard may help. I'll look into this.
Cheers...

Thanks.
I did as you said & ended up emailing Rob Meldrum at rob.meldrum@gmail.com, with the word "ebook" in the title. I got a lovely email back, with a copy of the book attached!
I'll look...

Hi Guys
I'm pretty new to the Mandolin so realise that practice will help but I'm struggling with my left hand positioning. Firstly holding the mandolin is causing soreness in my joint above my...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I’ve decided on the Eastman. Looking forward to playing it.
Cheers

Hi Folks
Sorry in advance for my questions, which all revolve around mandolin makes.
As mentioned before, I am just picking up the mandolin again after several years & am re-starting my learning....

Thanks Nick
It would be really useful to get some idea on value. Are we talking about $50 or $500. Are cannot get any idea eventhough I am seeking guidance from emando.

Many thanks

Thanks Mike
I’m new to the forum but was wondering if it was possible for me to message you for some advice off line. I don’t know how you do this or if it’s permitted.
