Good designers actually do consider it. I spent 30 years as a mechanical designer and I always had the repair guy in mind. And had lots of arguments regarding why I did something a certain way and...

58 Chevy with a 348.....was at least one of them.

If you are really unhappy with the sound and want to gamble. The finish doesn't look bad at all. Nice instrument!

This was from seven years ago....there may be something better now.

I have them on all of my instruments (mandolin/mandola/tenor guitar). I always play sitting and it seems to me that the armrest keeps my wrist more "in plane" with my forearm making it more...

Has been discussed a number of times here. Yes you can....all you are doing is cutting off the e strings and moving the other three sets down one position and adding the c strings. Then it is a...

Some amazing pics....

I use a stand alone drum machine....older Alesis SR16. Love it.

Thanks....you just reminded me of my Dad (long gone) when he was teaching me knots. For the bowline......."The rabbit comes out of the hole, runs around the tree and back into the hole". Memory...

Just a thought....could a local jeweler fix it? Strong enough? There should be plenty of very talented fine metal craftsmen in that neighborhood.

I make shims out of slices of soda or beer cans. Just cut it with tin snips...or old scissors. Also, you can get brass and aluminum shim stock of various thicknesses from some auto parts stores. I...

For 7ths something I use quite a bit is a two note diagonal form using the third and seventh. A7 is 765(4), D7 is 654(3), G7 is 543(2). Keep moving towards the nut.....is also useful for switching...

If there is no signage ask. And always, always, always...............take off your coat.

Yep, found that out the hard way. I had an older version humidifier that had a manual rotary switch that worked fine (you could just leave it on whatever fan speed setting you wanted) until one of...

I have been using the Inkbird that I calibrated against my Caliber IV. I use the Caliber next to the instruments and the Inkbird across the room controlling the humidifier. In the same room there...

Into the Cafe's MP3 library. Uncategorized (for good reason). Daniel Nestlerodes "Windrush" is based on it. It is a great take.....as well as a hoot!

We do it......because we can.

There is no justification. Especially if you are single.

Thanks....that left me smiling.

I have never liked that style tuner.....a lot of folks insist on them on tenor guitars. I replaced the ones on my old Regal with some individual Waverly Uke tuners from StewMac and have been very...

........Pete Townshend...........

I never would have thought I would like that color for binding. But that is stunning. "It ties the room together".

The whole instrument is beautiful.

My first mandolin lessons were with Peter Ostroushko....sitting in his kitchen. We sat down the first time and he took my old Harmony mandolin. Looked at it and handed it back to me. And said...
