I really like Aoife's "Fossils" CD. Haven't heard her latest CD yet. Kudos to Sarah for not wearing cowboy boots on video #1. That Thile guy is pretty good. :))

I found "Mandolin for Dummies" to be very informative and helpful. It is dense with great info and is a pleasant read. As another has said above, the sound clips are also really helpful. I would...

In my experience, it's very easy to swap parts and reconfigure mandolins. I don't fuss with changing or re-graduating top plates, necks, and such. It takes too long. I just keep the tailpieces,...

...and different mandolins with different strings etc etc etc. :)

Received my Fender "Tru-Shell" extra heavy (style 346) picks from Elderly today. They are the medium brown color and there are no apparent defects or sloppy manufacturing. I compared it to my CT55...

Would be cool to play, "I Believe I can Fly" on that mandolin. :))

Wow! Happy Father's Day for sure!

Agree Jeff. Genres are important to being able to talk about music. I see the need for them - even if I wish there wasn't a need. Stereotypes really bug me. "I hate Disco!" then someday I hear a...

When people used to ask me (frequently) what "type" of music genres I liked, I always got a little dumbfounded. My standard answer today is, "Some uh this and some uh that." As one who writes songs...

Love the question!

and....

Not wanting to brag here, but I have created a brand new genre. For real. It's based, in a major way, upon my lackadaisical attitude regarding practice, my aversion...

I'm not evil Timbo. And to prove it, I'm willing to send you 5 brand new, silver engraved picks that were gifted to me from the little glass pudding dish at the check out counter in the ABC Music...

I'm with you on it being subjective, but it's not only subjective. It's factual. I think it does boil down to "how much" and "what kind" of complexity is most appealing to one's ear. It's been said...

I'll have to get back to you that. The Fender picks haven't arrived yet. It should take about a week or so. The shipping was $2.95. They call it a small parcel rate because I only ordered the picks....

When the sampler gets to me, I'll be adding the new Fender "Tru-Shell" pick. I ordered a few of the extra heavy in 346 style. I've got others to add, but just don't know which yet. :grin:

Gotta try. Thanks for sharing! I just ordered 2 extra heavy from Elderly. Cost with shipping was $14.93.

Not a mandolin, but the same principle..

From Wikipedia: "A complex tone is any musical tone that is not sinusoidal, but is periodic, such that it...

It's my Weber octave with rich, deep, poignant and resonant bass, sparkling highs with lots of sustain, and a beautiful clear treble. Plenty loud, but not the same kind of loud you'd get from a...

My BC CT55 (beveled) is brighter than my DAWG but really darn close to a Primetone. I use the BC 95% of the time.

I agree to case it. In my location, the humidity bounces up and down this time of year with afternoon thunderstorms and dry, hot sunny days. I also turn my AC on and off quite a bit. I know the...

Yeah. You guys with the "A" models can always use a confidence boosting compliment like that. I would have said the same thing. :)):)):))

Hi Keith. Playing every day for one month and noticing a big change in tone would make "me" suspect the strings if you are still using the same set. It has been said that many strings will have a...

Welcome to the forum Tom and congrats on your Weber! I've never met a Weber I didn't like. I'm not sure why you're having having difficulty posting photos, but we do have a "Forum Software Support"...

I know that a lot of people already know this, but after breaking MANY new .011 "e" strings while tuning, it finally occurred to me that I should try initially tuning them much more slowly. I...

I get down on the carpeted living room floor with mine and wrestle with it.
