I checked them out; thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps someone has a bit more recent information or would enjoy a fresh discussion.

I’m interested in an electric mandolin along the lines of the original Mandocaster. It seems such a logical & relatively simple design yet I can’t seem to find much information on reissues that...

RobBob, you’re my new hero... you & Apple Music.

Many years ago I purchased Mel Bay’s Complete Country Fiddler, by Stacy Phillips, looking to incorporate some fiddle lines into my rudimentary Fostex 4-track recordings using a synthesizer. So long...

My wife is originally from Woodstown, beautiful area. It’s great that you’re going to join the orchestra, best of luck! It’s pretty neat how I came to be acquainted with the ensemble, really quite...

I see that you’re a Southern NJ guy too; I’m from Absecon. The orchestra is based in Philly, of course, not too far away, but the rest of the collection was quite unlike this LP. If I can burn it...

Quick story: This afternoon my mother, who at 86 still runs the local library, gave me a call to tell me someone had dropped off several boxes of records and if I were interested I should...

I'm in my late 50s, have been playing guitar for 30+ years and dabbling with mandolin for 20. I have never really studied mandolin, I've just been learning what I need at any given time, using such...

I'm having a bit of a problem with my Flatiron A-5. As you might be able to see, the adjustment screw on the bass side sits high above the bridge and scrapes my palm below my thumb. The action...

I'm looking for some new, as in different, mandolin quartets, orchestras, string ensembles, and such for listening. I'm pretty much in the dark except for the Modern Mandolin Quartet and a few...

Thanks; I see no rest notated though. The space is there but nothing to indicate the duration. I've used EasyBeat for years, and have been using MuseScore for awhile as well; they notate the rests...

I'm trying the demo version, and things seem to be falling into place pretty well at this point except I can't get a rest to notate in the classical staff. I'm running OS 10.5.8. I've tried a...

Anyone; anything?

Lately I've been listening to music from the early 20th century; a lot of ragtime, hot jazz, and such. To my unsophisticated ears the mandolin on a couple of Dave Apollon songs, "Mandolin Blues" and...

No mandolin content, but I was saddened to learn of the passing of the most knowledgeable and humble radio personality I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. He had a show on WRTI Philadelphia...

... I really appreciate the feedback. I also found out that Bass Player magazine has a transcription of "So What" this month, and I'm sure it too will be helpful. Thanks again.

I'm having a hard time understanding what's happening in this tune. I've read that it's a D Dorian Mode composition, evidently in C as my Real Book transcribes it. The piano chords in the intro are...

Thanks for the suggestions and info. #I contacted Weber and got back the following response:


Hi Michael,

I can give you some info on it:

Your mando was built in 1996, May (that last number...

My mandolin, which I bought new at least ten years ago, has two signatures on the label. #One appears to be Helen Beausoliel, and the other is pretty much illegible. #I did a search for that name and...

It's really obvious that efficient fingering is going to be critical when working through the three octave scales suggested in another post. #Are complete position shifts recommended, or should I be...

Aye Aye Captain! #Basically what I've been doing is fleshing out ideas specific to whatever has my ear at the time. #For example, inspired by "Tone Poems", I worked up a simple arrangement of...

Hi,
# # I'm relatively new to mandolin playing, although I've owned one and have played around with it for ten years. #One thing I've never gotten together is a systematic study regimen that will...

Thanks, I will. #Actually I was trying to subtly offer to copy for anyone who's interested "Svingin' With Svend", unless that's a no-no. #I wouldn't think it'd be a problem with out of print music....

I have a copy of that CD. #I'd love to discuss the arrangements with any of you folks who are interested. #PM or email me.
