    Re: Help to Identify this Old Tenor Guitar

    Curious what the bracing looks like. On myH1201, it looks like someone tried to stick 2x4’s in with as much hide glue as they could manage.

    Re: Took advice of others

    UniTunes are like hen’s teeth in Europe. I just ordered one from Thomann.es, and the wait will be “a couple of months”. I pulled the trigger because the Snark is absolutely no help in trying to get...

    Re: Butch Baldassari Tunes

    After getting "Mandolin for Dummies", the next instructional book I got was "30 Fiddle Tunes for Mandolin". The choice of tunes plus Butch's effortless playing bowled me over, and continues to be an...

    Re: Mandolino Gibson A-Style Number 29855

    Ciao Giuseppe, mi è piaciuta la storia di questo mandolino!

    Anche puoi contattare Corrado Giacomel a Genova, non molto lontano da Torino. È un liutaio di mandolini bravissimo.

    Re: DolinmanX

    Ha, you think I would have figured that out, after 40 years of music videos! Regardless, it's a good tool, and you've used it well.

    Re: DolinmanX

    Oh yea, diptanshu, that was lovely, and in a pretty place as well. I love the sound of that Gibson.

    May I ask where the mic or mics are placed? It seems like even when you turn your head, the...

    Re: Post a picture of what's on your bench?

    Really nice work, John.

    For those of us who don't know, what is reaction wood?
  11. Re: Ultimate Vintage Snakeheadedness and Chocolatey Goodness

    Great score, Jim, it’s in good hands. What I want to know is - how does it smell? Must be quite different than one that’s been played all its life.

    Re: Easiest to learn DAW

    Hey DaveG, if you had any experience with recording or live sound consoles, give Harrison Mixbus a try. It's a very intuitive interface for old "tapeheads" like me, the instructional videos are very...

    Great news! Cant wait to hear it - like many, I'm a huge BB fan, and also intrigued by the approach.
  14. Re: Are you ready for a new Carbon/Kevlar Sorensen mandolin?

    …and after watching the (extremely addicting) Easy Composites video series, kudos as well, Steve. I can only sort of imagine the hours spent researching, reformulating and lying awake at night to go...
  15. Re: Are you ready for a new Carbon/Kevlar Sorensen mandolin?

    Right direction indeed, Steve! I'm convinced - add me to the virtual waiting list.

    Re: Pioneering Women of Bluegrass

    I’m really enjoying the two records, especially the contributions of the mandolin player, young David Grisman.

    I believe the records are originally from 1965 and 1973.
  17. Re: Article: New in Print - Matt Flinner's The View From Here Tra

    Thanks Matt, I’ll be placing my order shortly. $12.00US seems right to me.

    I love that it’s an exercise book as well as the transcriptions. One of my favorite albums.

    Nice. Cherry's a really fine neck and body wood choice.

    Sorry, I should have added that that my experience with GE's was nothing like the Bob's - mine were just stiff.
  20. Re: New tuners to replace Golden Era tuners on a 2015 A mandolin

    I personally love 309's, but on my new mandolin, I've got Schaller GrandTunes, and they're really nice. Also 18:1.

    I didn't like Rubners for the fact they were 15:1, but are obviously well-made,...

    Thanks, glad you like it - I did it a good while ago, and of course only hear the warts.

    I think you'll like the shift in tonality. Your Weber is sonically everything my Eastman would want to be,...
