    Re: Mandolin chords chart in standard notation

    Thanks for your comments. I am a classically trained musician, so music notation is how I roll, how I come up to speed quickly (I can hear music notation as I read it).

    In any case, several...

    Re: Mandolin chords chart in standard notation

    Some of the material under student I don't appear to have, at least not in that form, that's why I was wondering if it was new.

    It is unfortunate I cannot edit my old comment. Not sure what I was thinking at the time, just because I can play that on the violin doesn't make it beginners violin music, what an insane thing to...

    Re: Raising 12th fret, worth it?

    Would a guitar luthier be qualified to work on mandolin frets? I have a feeling it would be much easier to find a guitar expert than a mando expert.

    Re: Raising 12th fret, worth it?

    As I was playing tag with my little problem today, I finally noticed something I had not seen before: the 13th fret is not visually taller, but it is visually fatter, that is, wider, slightly, on...

    Re: Raising 12th fret, worth it?

    Thanks for this suggestion. My main doubt about shipping my mandolin is that it is luthier instrument made just last year, so I am guessing it shouldn't need anything too major, hopefully. I would...

    Thanks for your thoughts. I see no clear relationship between the question I posed and what you claim I am insisting on. I already said I am interested in a luthier, I qualified the kind I would...

    Re: Raising 12th fret, worth it?

    Raising 12th fret, worth it?
