I've had two awful noodling experiences at our little Irish session in Wisconsin.
The first was a local fellow who showed up with a penny whistle. We realized immediately that he didn't know a...

Is there any way to know if instruments are sold in the classifieds?
Some sellers post a "sold" addendum to the post but others don't.

I'm specifically wondering about the Weber Gallatin Octave...

I got the rep at Weber to admit that the instrument likely had the wrong bridge/saddle installed. Weber was transitioning from Montana to Oregon and some parts were in short supply. They are sending...

Greg Boyd, at Fine Instruments, says mine is "normal". Hehe. Well, I've emailed Weber to see what they have to say. BTW, since we seem to have identical instruments, what is the measurement from the...

Thanks! Greg Boyd says a high saddle is typical for this instrument. I took him at his word since the neck is straight and the action just right. Think I'll follow your advice and contact Weber, but...

I don't know if it is just my uptightedness, or fear, or what, but it takes me a bloody long time to get warmed up enough to play jigs and reels respectably quick.
Even practicing alone, it takes...

I've been playing mando for about 9 years now. Didn't start until age 50, so I'll never now how good I would have been had I started as a kid. I have a wonderful Gibson A2 1922 and play mostly...

Lots of nice thoughts and suggestions. Thanks alot!

I am annoyed often at our local session, when the regulars do not listen to tune settings. That is, I may start a jig slowly, to warm up early in the evening, or if I'm in such a mood, but they take...
