Raj, I finally got it and it sounds like a dream!! I love the work that they have done
Raj, beginner models cost around Rs. 8000 and professional models cost around Rs. 15,000. It's better to go for a professional model if you can afford. It has still not reached me and the maker has...
It'll be a regular scale mando. Yeah! I'll buy extras. If they too get finished, I'll find & use electric guitar strings with the same gauge. Gauge is very important!
I spoke with the maker, gave him the string guages I got from emando.com and he said he can make it. I have ordered. Can't wait!!
Tulsi mandolins have 5 strings and 6 pegs (1 peg is left empty). Carnatic style mandolinists use EBEBE or CGCGC tuning. Western style mandolinists use CGDAE tuning. The single strings and the...
Raj, I have ordered it and according to them, it'll dispatch in about 25 days. I might be receiving the parcel probably in the last week of this month. I'll let you know about it for sure.
I...
Sonic, which app do you use for mando chords? :)
I spoke with the custom mandolin makers in Chennai about Tulsi mandolins. Since I don't play carnatic style but only western style, he has given me three options - 4 stringed, 5 stringed or 8...
Oh, I went through another thread of yours and came to know that it was purchased way back in 2007. The price might have been doubled by now. But I'm okay with it, as long as it's of good quality.
...
Woah, that is totally cheap for a solid back electric mandolin. If I get it at nearly that price, I'll buy a good acoustic one too. I had contacted a mandolin player from Bangalore (my city) who...
Do you guys use the 5 string ones only for playing lead?
Have you figured out new chord shapes as well?
Are there any used/unused 4 string electric mandolins available within the range of $150 - $200?
<Moderator edit. The proper place to request sale of specific instruments is in our Classifieds....
Was it difficult to tune to fifths??
"Givson" make decent beginner guitars. A friend of mine was using theirs until he upgraded to a Yamaha.
I don't mind the humour at all.... enjoy!
But yeah, "Givson" is a deliberate attempt to deceive people. The manufacturers are based in Kolkata, India.
"Urbashi", in Indian mythology is the...
Can the Tulsi electric mandolin (the same brand used by mandolin maestro U Shrinivas) be comfortably tuned to standard western tuning? A lot of people use Tulsi to play Carnatic style of music, which...
There are only two e-mando makers in India. Givson and Tulsi guitars. Tulsi mandolin was played by U Srinivas, mandolin maestro. I've heard that it's a very good instrument, but its bridge is...
Could you tune it comfortably in 5ths? I've heard that their bridge is intonated to suit Indian open tuning. How much did you pay for it? How much would a low end version cost?
Have you used a Givson Urbashi? If yes, please take a look at my thread and answer some questions for me :)
...
I'm planning to buy Givson Urbashi e mando. Please spare some time to answer some questions for me. :)
1. Has anybody here used it? How is the sound output quality?
2. Is it built correctly? The...
