I've had mine for about 2 years, There isn't any wear on it at all. I usually play for at least an hour a day, at least 6 days a week. I wouldn't use any other pick.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I have just been diagnosed with basal joint arthritis in my left thumb. Having had a shot of cortisone in the joint today, I can't even hold my mandolin right now. Does anyone else out there have...

The episode I saw with Chumlee buying what he thought was a Gibson, turned out to be a fake.

I have lived all over the US and liked Portland the best!

Didge, I love my mandolin, it's just that my teacher would not like it if I only practiced the things I like. I want to be able to make music, not just the noise I hear now. After 3 years, I think I...

My goal with the mandolin is to be able to play music that I like. I want to be able to sit down and play what I hear, or make sounds that don't scare the cats away. The week before I made the...

To QCS, I have a private 1 hr lesson every week. I also have some DVD's but can't seem to make progress with them. I also tried a group lesson with the aim of learning to play with others, but after...

Since starting to play the mandolin about 3 yrs ago, I have practiced daily. I even take it on vacation when possible. For the last week or so, I just can't seem to get "into it". I don't see any...

Thanks Paul, I would never have thought of that! My banjo player husband has plenty he can loan me!

I'm having right hand trigger finger surgery. I had the left hand done 15 or so years ago. That was the best decision I ever made. It was before I started playing mandolin, so I don't want to lose...

I'm having hand surgery soon and would like some ideas on how to best use my "down time". I hav e a few videos to watch, but have trouble with them if I don't have my hands on my instrument. Should I...

I love my mandolin, truly I do. But the last week or so, I'm not having any fun with it. My daily practice is a BIG chore. The more I practice, the worse it gets. Even with the songs I know well, I...

Danny Boy aka Londonderry Air comes to mind. It's very emotional and pretty. When I play it, it's just sad(I mangle it).

I want a custom built mandolin with inlay up the neck so that anytime someone looks at it, they'll know it's mine. Something from Moonbeam Mandolins might do the trick!

We vacationed in MT a couple of years ago. It was the best vacation we ever had. The scenery was fantastic and the people were warm and friendly. Beats South FL hands down any day. I can't wait to go...

We are supposed to go to Scotland next Thursday, I'm wondering now if we'll get to go at all. I have been waiting for 11 months for this trip to taste really fresh Tennant's beer, don't know what to...

Thanks wundo! This will keep me busy for quite some time!

Anyone have tab or sheet music to Lover's Concerto? I can pick out bits and pieces, but would like a little help filling it in. Thanks!:mandosmiley:

On days when I had a lesson right after work I would bring it, til a customer opened the case and started fooling around with it when I stepped out of the room(I work in a bar). So now I take my...

I picked up a Blue Chip 50 at a festival to try. I liked it so much I bought the demo I was trying and haven't used any other pick since.

At 52 years old, I just don't have the comfort level of being able to play with others. I appreciate the support and will continue to work very hard at perfecting my skills. I don't want to be a...

I have a MK Firefly, and it is far and away my favorite mandolin. I got it from the Mandolin Store and it was great right out of the box!

Thanks for all the comments and advice, this forum is a great help. Sometimes just knowing that I'm not the only one with "issues" helps. My practice time is all I can squeak out in a day, full time...
