I would have a think about your pick hold. The biggest thing I found when I changed to a thicker pick (and I was going from 0.6 mm guitar picks to ~2 mm) was that I didn't have to squeeze the pick...
Everyone's a critic.:grin:
My dog used to howl everytime i practiced my violin which was a bit of a pain as I was a music major at the time.
Wow, that's a fascinating idea. Doesn't look like it'd be much easier than bending conventional sides. I wonder what they sound like.
What's the rest of your arm doing? In particular, does having your thumb there mean that your wrist is straight? Can you achieve a fairly straight wrist with this chord and a different thumb...
Yay! Fun to be a part of this sort of thing. Looks like a fine instrument. I'd like to take it home but I won't begrudge some other fortunate person being blessed with a lovely new mando. Enjoy...
What a beautiful first instrument! Congrats and welcome mate.
Throw a magnetic pickup in that puppy and it'd be sweet! Maybe even a small battery powered headphone amp.
Very nice work though. Very inventive of you.
Firstly, ew! But if you must then I'm not going to stop you.
Secondly, they don't seem to have any sort of compensation on the bridge which would mean that often, though playing fretted notes,...

I don't think there is much. Might have to organise your own jam session in your own area.
Best of luck mate.
What styles do you like mate? Are you wanting to play Jazz standards? Bluegrass? You could check out the lessons and songs on this website. Herehttp://www.mandolincafe.com/lessons.html or...
Slim Dusky indeed!
Unfortunately I had to give this one back as I've now returned to Brissy. But thanks all for your help. I'll have to give the old bloke a call and let him know and see how...
I'm more concerned that I'm on here now when I should be writing this assignment and it's getting quite early in the morning :grin:
The Dano pedal I have (chorus) has been very reliable although not the sound I was going for at the time I bought it but that's not their fault :redface:
It gets used a little bit now when I don't...
Thanks Bill,
I've really been enjoying this series of recordings. Great tone from your mando and really nice vocals in every vid so far. Keep it up :D
You might find this thread helpful. I got some good advice here :grin:

Good stuff all.
My sis brought me back an album of theirs when she did a trip to Ireland. You're one lucky bloke! Awesome stuff on every track :grin:
I can get quite good tone with the stubby pics, but big stubby is more comfortable. It depends on your mando, strings etc. I'm liking Dunlop Ultex at the moment. The Stubby, Gel and Ultex pics are...
thankyou
So what's the idea behind the "economando"? They look stunning! :grin: Are they a cheaper version of your normal build? Different woods?
Are you saying they are similar or that you like the sound of both?
Very sad, but in Aus - Footloose - Kenny Loggins
USA - Let’s Hear It For The Boy - Deniece Williams
Brit - The Reflex - Duran Duran
I must say, not my favourite decade generally. I can handle...
Probably almost everyday, and often more. Really enjoy all the information and comeraderie and that I have a place to share some of my knowledge and experience as well :grin:
Kids can be the most appreciative listeners! I recently had the opportunity to play several different instruments at church services over a number of weeks (Mando, Uke, violin, guitar, drums). ...
