@fox That guitar has been sitting around gathering dust since I landed the 2nd hand Eastwood Astrojet, & this guitar is a better quality guitar than the Eastwood. My band saw broke its blade a couple...

35mm nut, 22" scale & Clifford Essex nickelwound .11, .016w, .026w, .036w.

Maybe you could give nylon strings a go. They may intonate better Thomastik do tape wounds that could go on the A. I’ve gone the other way & tuned up a 17” mandola as a mandolin.

Yes myLord it’s an Emerald carbon fiber x30 tenor & it is delish!!! It comes up on their August 7th 2020 Shipping video. A very well balanced and rich sounding guitar. The brief to Emerald was to...

Here's a peek at my three jumbos. Jumbo Mandolin 17" scale, jumbo Tenor Guitar 23" to 24" scale GDAE & jumbo (Tenor) Fiddle 400mm stop length. 190776

The basic indicator for which key a tune is in rests in the end note. If a tune resolves on or the last note is a G for example then the key almost always is G.

I bought a classic tenor in the initial crowd funding period. Mine has an annoying rattle in the neck caused by trussrod being too loose. I purchased some kind of expanding solution that is would...

After 2 years of cello lessons the six year old is now only eight and probably no better than you at sixty two. Keep going, you can't wind the clock back, when you're seventy two you'll be happier to...

What you should do is find “The Worlds Second Best Tenor Ever” buy both & give us a review.

That banjo will be a real investment! There won’t be too many Reiter banjos with the Dobson rings in them. I don’t think he’s been putting them into his banjos for very long. It’s a pity he doesn’t...

I have a Thomann/Hora mandola. The tuners truly are crap! I'm thinking of stripping them down to see if somehow they can be improved, maybe silicone spray or anything at all. One thing for sure I...

13 7/8" is fine for Mandolin tuning I go as long as 17" with the right strings. I don't think you'll be satisfied down the Octave with Tenor tuning at 13 7/8.

Which GDAE are you thinking? It's scale length is only 13.5" Higher Mandolin tuning probably might be to go

Yes he's passable ;)
I don't know if she does much with it anymore, Sharon Shannon is a good banjo banjo player

They must have sold out!!! Not bad going in the middle of a financial crisis

Yes we're all expecting everything to drop off the calender. The head guy Joe Connaire is my banjo teacher. Poor Joe is taking it badly. They are still trying to find a way of holding some sort of...

Another Covid causualty announced today!

Thanks for the imput folks. This will be an interesting exercise, I have a request in now for a 36" & 38" (23" & 24 1/2" scale) classical with cutaway, & a full size classical with truss rod...

Yes I remember following that thread. It is similar to what I intend to do. My concern is do the $30 3/4 cheapies have a fretboard that I can remove, or should I spend $35 for a 4/4 to be sure but I...

Yes to the taper but I only play on the first 9 frets. The saddle won’t matter I’ll string the middle 4

I’m thinking of pulling off the fretboard & cutting out a V strip down the middle right down through the headstock to a point at the heel. Then glue it together & while the fretboard is off explore...

I’m considering purchasing a very basic model, nylon 3/4 guitar from China I think the postage is going to be dearer than the guitar. It will be 23” scale (may also get a 24 1/2”as well), laminated...

That is some really nice flute playing!!

Well Jill how's that knee coming along, you're probably nearly fit for the Olympics now! Or is that the Mandolympics :mandosmiley:
