    Re: ISO a decent starter Mandolin

    Most of this post is unnecessary backstory and musing just to illustrate these few points that, from what I have read are probably almost always brought up in many/most threads like this. Most of...

    Re: Types of Mandolin Collections

    This has got me wondering, at what point does a group of mandolins become a "collection"?

    Sorry if off topic or discussed before, just what my brain came up with in response to the original query....

    Re: Girouard Ensemble A-5 opinions.

    I don't think it's a ridiculous question and I noticed it too. Wasn't sure what it was though. I don't know if it's common, but it's not on mine.

    Another note, if I remember correctly...

    Re: Girouard Ensemble A-5 opinions.

    Well I can tell you I love mine and remain very happy with it. I can't say if the same would be true for you, but I can say I can't really come up with anything negative to say about it for my...
  10. Re: Skill Progression/Benchmarks, MAS and Instrument Upgrades

    Strangely, I have been struggling thinking about this. I think the best I can come up with is that from time to time, unpredictably, I get an strong desire (sometimes it feels irresistible) to hear,...

    Original song - Long Road

    Crazy days, haven't had enough mandolin and music time recently but i did manage to get a song recorded a little bit ago that had been rattling around in my brain for a while. Maybe someday others...
  12. Re: What genres of music do you play on mando (besides bluegrass)

    One of my favorite things to do is just noodle around over whatever my wife happens to be listening to on pandora, so in that sense pretty much all genres I guess.

  13. Re: Is there a crisis in mandolin, banjo and ukelele tone?

    I haven't done any statistical studies, but I feel like I probably hear fewer guitars in more popular music these days than any time I can remember. I feel like the trend in popular music is more...

    Re: Favourite Funeral Songs/Songs of Mourning

    I played Angel Band at my Father's funeral. It was the right song.

    I'll probably do I am Weary for Mother when it's time.

    Re: NMD - Girouard Studio F5

    That's pretty neat, my A5 is #170, Feb 2018. I don't know why that seems cool to me, but it does. Wonder how many consecutive numbers can be found on the cafe.

    Re: Mando Store to try before I buy?

    I spent a good while looking for something similar in PA, NJ, MD or Delaware within roughly a day's drive of Philly, but came up empty so of course bought online.

    Re: REVIEW: Kentucky KM-272

    Mike reviewed the KM 272 much better than I could, so I can only concur with what's already been said.

    I too have been and continue to be very pleased with my KM 272. It was my first mandolin and...

    Re: what are the regular folks playing.

    I play a Kentucky KM272 and a Girouard A5.

    My wife says I am highly irregular though, so I may not be useful as a data source for you. She does agree that I don't have deep pockets though.

    I'd...

    Re: Girouard Mandolins

    I've got #170, dated Feb 2018, purchased in March so pretty fresh.

    You can ask questions, some places just want you to buy it first.

    Also, you might have to ask somewhere other than where you buy it if you want to get an answer. Also, if the answer isn't what you...

    Re: Crowd Funded Co-Op Music Store Idea

    First, I'll say that I know nothing about this sort of venture and generally speaking the things that I value don't seem to be valued much in the business world.
