    Re: Eastman El Rey Video Review

    I just got one of these from The Mandolin Store. I read Martin's review and it gave me pause, but Alex's review and playing on Douce Ambiance renewed my confidence. I don't notice the E being...

    Re: Tony Rice - Neon Tetra Chords

    I should clarify, the voicings of the chords in the transition parts don't satisfy me (yet). The two-chord solo sections are not a problem.

    And a word about my idiosyncratic charting notations.

    Re: Tony Rice - Neon Tetra Chords

    Here you are. I managed to learn the melody by ear, but struggled with many of the chords. Looked everywhere on the 'net for them. Finally paid a professional transcriber to figure it out. This chart...

    Re: Lloyd Loar in 1921 on Air Chambers

    So does that mean my Gibson trap-door banjo-mandolin is from the Lloyd Loar era? Wow.

    Re: Loar forgery / fake Serial # 80263

    Well I'll never be duped into buying a fake Loar. I can't afford one in the first place!
  7. Re: Has anyone tried the David Gage Realist pickup for mandolin?

    Thanks for those referrals. I've tried the Baggs and found it transmits too much pick noise. The JJB looks interesting. I might try it.
  8. Re: Has anyone tried the David Gage Realist pickup for mandolin?

    Hmm. Well I may just have to try it, then, and report my findings here.
  9. Re: Has anyone tried the David Gage Realist pickup for mandolin?

    Thanks, but that's not really helpful. I'm trying to find someone who has actually used this particular pickup and who has an opinion about how it sounds.
  10. Has anyone tried the David Gage Realist pickup for mandolin?

    Does anyone have any experience with the Realist pickup by David Gage and Ned Steinberger? Wondering how it sounds. I find rave reviews of the version for bass, the original pickup they designed, but...

    Re: Tim May and his Vintage Gibson Collection

    That's my old K2 mandocello. I sold it to David Harvey. Good to see it getting played again. It languished in my closet for many years after my Irish music days back in the 80s.

    Re: Tortoise Binding

    I have a 2M that I bought new in 1981. I had a radiused fretboard put on it. Still plays and sounds great.

    Re: 1904 Gibson Octave Mandolin

    Looks like it may have been strung as a six-string at some point, perhaps guitar tuning.
