Tortex green is my favorite for flavor and mouth feel but I enjoy the texture and click against the teeth of the bluechip. However, the bc has bit too much of that high-tech processed taste and I...

This should trump some of the ridiculous baggage dimension requirements by some airlines (AA for example), allowing a mandolin to be carried aboard where it otherwise wouldn't fit the requirements. ...

Cleartune is the best I've used.

Rockwood Music Hall on the Lower East Side and the Jalopy in Brooklyn for bluegrass and roots music. Depending on when you leave on the 20th, Cahalen Morrison and Eli West (guitar, clawhammer,...

I'd suggest new strings first. Especially if you fret hard. I think that is pretty common issue on some mandolins. I've had it happen on a few. It could just be the voicing. Switching to Monel...

From Dawgnet.com's q&a:

Question 20: We're looking for Dawg Jazz/Dawg Grass on any format. Searched everywhere and can't find it. Is it still in print on another label or is it out of print? Would...

Since I received it a month ago, my Primetone 1.5 triangle has gone under the strings. The bluechips are in the case. That said, I do miss the temperature activated tackiness that the bluechip...

The CT-55 is exactly 1.4 mm thick. I have a 1.5 primetone triangle (no grip) and it is slightly thicker than my CT-55.

ok. Finally received the 1.5 triangles. Pretty impressed with this pick given that it's 1/15 the price of my tad 50 and ct 55. I might even go so far as to say it is the best pick I've tried other...

Looks like it might be Mickey Mouse.

I received my rounded "gripped" 1.3mm and am still waiting on the 1.5 Triangles. Ive never been much for rounded but I like these better than golden gates. But they are not bluechip killers. Maybe...

Just saw this. Got it. Thanks!!

ireal pro --midi sounds but it works well and you can download songs people have already created from the internet.

Great Album. From the man himself:

Also might I suggest Darol Anger's new album, E-and'a, with Joe Walsh on mandolin.

Move up a minor 3rd, so 3 frets.

Meguiars #7 (I believe Novus #2 is equivalent) has never caused a problem for me on varnish, French polish or Lacquer and it's a lot cheaper but I have never tried the Jubilee.

WAMU beat you too it. The response in the posted thread started out positive but the consensus appeared to be that "it's not bluegrass."

Not to support the airlines at all in this matter, but the language quoted above is part (a) of Section 403. Section 403 goes on to state:

‘‘(b) REGULATIONS.—Not later than 2 years after the date...

Same here, but without the TG, I would find myself slipping into using more left thumb pressure as I played harder and, in any event, it relieves tension on the right side as it is much easer to hold...

Yes. Just got two sets from Amazon. New packaging too.

No doubt it can make minor marks on varnish at the contact points and maybe lacquer too but, comparatively, arm rests are vicious varnish-cidal monsters.

I agree with both. Good posture for sure, but for me, the tonegard also helps balance the instrument correctly so I am not using too much of my left hand to hold the instrument away from my body,...

Lot's of great suggestions here and it sounds like you're on the right track. i'm quite partial to the Kimble 2-point, but there's a lot of great choices out there.

Seriously!

I love the gator gl and think its a better case in many ways than a travelite. Sadly, my new mandolin appears to be suffering from the same issue as yours. Guess I need a calton!
