Anyone ever try Dogals on the MTO?

Hi Bazz,
To my knowledge both Folkways and 12th Fret will give you an approval period however you will have to cover the shipping costs “to and fro”. Also those old tuners my look pretty but more...

What is the longevity of the silk and steel string type?

Thanks to all of you for chiming in. ColdBeer, I’d like to hear your thoughts on the Thomastiks once you have tried them out!

I was wondering what strings types and gauges Collings MTO owners are currently using?
I have only tried J74s. Any alternative suggestions for me to try? I mainly play Jazz, folk and, Celtic and...

It is quite interesting how both Jacob and Avi do not conform to any of the commonly described “principles” of plectrum hold, right hand positioning or technique as taught in Italian, German or...

I don’t think there is any need to qualify the $150 cost for this event. It is way beyond my expectations. Along with my inscription I have repeat access and I get to meet fine people in this COVID...

Pops,
Why not blend the 2 and have 1 out to the amp or board and control the output with the preamp?

Thanks Pops,
It was designed to to plug them both into the suggested Tonebone PZ which has 2 inputs. Each input has a possibility to be adjusted for either a piezo or non piezo pickup. You then...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the dual K&K preamp for a Phoenix Jazz mandolin which has two pickups. I have used the Radial Tonebone PZ-Pre
Any comments or comparisons would be...

I am looking for string suggestions for my Collings MTO! I am using it mainly for Celtic and Classical! I play throughout the fretboard if that helps, so I need strings which are responsive at...

Since my early exposure to playing mandolin, almost 60 years, I have been fascinated by musical instruments. Sound emanating from wooden boxes, wave patterns hitting my ears from a simple needle...

Very nice Isaac! Nicely recorded also.
What is your recording set for this tune!
Best from Canada..

Thanks Bradeasley!
Here is the reference link for all of you with more information about the event. Certainly this will be helpful....

Personally I find it a both disappointing and insulting to have absolutely NO description of content. Yes he is Chris Thile but we are a community of supportive mandolin players who are also people....

I was thinking of reducing my instruments! What would be a fair price for a Weber Sage in excellent condition these days?
Thanks

Has anyone compared these and A B’d them with the Radial Tonebone PZ pre Acoustic Pre amp?
I have been using this for pre amp for blending the piezo and magnetic pickups for my Phoenix Jazz.
It...

Tim,
Enjoy you new mando! The mtv2’s sing with a beautiful bell-like texture...all the way up the neck!

Wonderful player! Observe his non-traditional pick hold in the graphic! I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to participate in workshops, masterclasses and as a player in an orchestra he...

Has anyone done a side by side comparison of these 2 instruments and if so any descriptive comments to describe the differences in sound and playability?

Hey Don,
I would be interested to know the criteria you use when choosing between your Kimble and Apitius Mandos for individual tunes?
I’ve been fortunate to have heard you play both at different...

If you do a search you will find this has already been done on the cafe!

Jim,
I tend to agree with much of what you have to say. Personally I usually listen to different reputable versions of classical players and choose to learn stylistic approaches which would not...

To both Jim’s
During the initial learning and introduction to a new piece I was wondering if you are against listening to an accomplished player whose interpretation is appealing to you. Wouldn’t...

I find the stings lovely to play however the bass is definitely not as powerful.
The strings are more laid back or you could say less upfront, less drive!
They are much easier to fret with less...
