I use both of these brands:

1. Peterson StroboClip Hd. I have two identical ones now, because I lost the first one, but liked it well enough to eventually buy an identical replacement. (Then,...

Great replies in this thread! :mandosmiley: Thanks everyone! :)

Lol! :)) That sounds like fun! :grin: :)

Yep! :mandosmiley: I agree completely. :grin: Anything tuned in fifths, and (for me) preferably an octave lower than mandolin, for a more mellow sound. GDAE, or GDAEB, or even CGDAEB.

And I...

Not necessarily. (I'm certainly no expert, but this is what I've read over the years on security-related forums.) Many hacked websites are just randomly targeted, via automated processes looking for...

Glad that's the one! :)

Any chance it might have been "Father's Hall"? :confused: I found a couple of MandolinCafe posts about that tune, with recordings posted by Chuck Naill in 2010, here and here.

I don't know if...

Yeah, but only with old friends I've known forever, *and* where we know each other well enough to know how we are likely to treat the instruments.

Not just for obvious harmful things such as...

Yep. Strange new world we live in nowadays.

Yep dulcimer can sound very nice. :mandosmiley: And that's cool that you built one! :mandosmiley:

That's fun, :grin: I love it! :mandosmiley: :cool: :) Here's the embedded video:

For me, one of the hardest beasts I've ever tried to tame was the Uilleann pipes, as far as trying to achieve (and maintain!) :crying: a good setup so the darned things play right. Seven reeds...

Hmm... I can't tell if that bumper sticker is a compliment or a slam... :confused:

Here's the basic standard notation and printable PDF mandolin TAB for O'Connell's Trip To Parliament (you can look at that PDF in your browser, and also you can use...

"O'Connell's Trip To Parliament", an Irish trad tune that fits surprisingly easily onto clawhammer banjo: :disbelief: :grin:

:) Depends on how far back in banjo history one goes. The old gut-string predecessors of modern banjos aren't likely to be anywhere near as loud as modern steel-string banjos of the last 120+ years...

Been having a lot of fun with highly inappropriate ;) backing tracks :grin: for "O'Connell's Trip To Parliament".

For example, here's a backing I made in "iReal Pro" (an Android phone app) using...

You're right, thank you!!! :mandosmiley: :mandosmiley: That second step was what I was missing, the "Line Mode" thing. Thanks again! :mandosmiley:

RIP Mr. Cohen. I didn't know him personally but I enjoyed his music.

I hadn't heard of Flat, but here's what I found out...

According to the Flat website pricing page:


"Flat Free includes:
Create and store 15 scores"

So apparently you get 15 songs for...

I use MuseScore. They added tab-writing capability a few years ago. I didn't much like MuseScore at first, but either it's improved or I've gotten used to it. :whistling: Although I wasn't impressed...

Very cool! :mandosmiley: Thanks! :)

Right. As I already said in post 3 above. Am I on your "ignore" list? ;) :)

I'd say there's a possibility it's copyright trolls trying to make money off of *your* videos. :( Here's an older MandolinCafe thread about others' experiences with this sort of thing.

You can...

Is this the tune?

If so, for written notation, I found these three options:
