Sounds very nice.

Thanks - lots of good ideas here.
And Marcus... "Sarah Jarosz was playing... run way more than any other instrument" It's celebrity haircut syndrome like crazy - I'm in heaven listening to her...
A follow up question is this... I have never played an electric instrument but I like the sound of electric 8-string hollow body octave mandolins (and to a lesser extent mandolas).
Right in line...
I have a similar scale, intro-quality, tenor guitar that I enjoy.
When I look for bargains I find things like this - and to be honest - I don't even know if this is wrong - but I was a physics...
I went back to community college for music. I am part time because I have a full time unrelated career, and multiple kids in multiple life stages. So I'm YEARS from graduating.
I started...
I don't think this exists - and if it does, I probably couldn't justify the cost. And 3rd strike, I probably asked this before. But every couple of years I get the idea in my head and ask around...
I'm so excited - I wanted to see her last fall out here and for some reason was too shy to go to a show alone.
Over the summer, upon hearing it was Taj Mahal's 80th birthday, I thought "I better...
So the mandola comment stirred my curiousity and I went on Reverb and was able to resist - but... what kind of listing is this? This is the only picture and it's clearly 3 different instruments - it...
^while I don't object, I am currently unable to obtain a mandola.
I did recently pick up a smallish tenor guitar and I see they have at least one member holding a tenor in their group pic. I'm...
Thanks everyone! That was a good idea - the point of contact sent me a couple pdfs of things they'll play in their coming concert. Two I could sight read and the 3rd is totally doable with a moderate...
Anyone play in a Mandolin and/or Guitar Orchestra?
I asked a question about one and was encouraged to give them a try. I'm a little unsure I can keep up but the point of contact was very...
I'm addicted to it and played it until my fingers turned black. :)
It came with a nice little set of instructions regarding the adjustable truss rod.

By the way - I'm 4th author in a 25 year old paper in the Astrophysical Journal. The truss rod...
Thank you :)
Idk why my husband and I feel compelled to feel guilty when we buy things. We're comfortable and we don't buy nonsense just stuff we genuinely love and neither of us is cheap. In...
It's the busiest week of my year and the surge protector decided *not* to protect my laptop. After I recovered professionally - I needed to recover psychologically, so I ordered a basic low end...
I've only ever gone to be entertained by myself once, but it was great. I went to see Il Postino by myself and it was the best because no one talked or ate my popcorn. So you've talked me into it -...
I have not had to hide any boxes from Amazon, Reverb etc., since the ukulele incident 2 full months ago. Therefore when my birthday comes next month, my husband should take me all the way out to the...
I asked to sort of go through the motions of research so that I could tell myself I didn't do it impulsively - but then the price dropped *slightly* and... well some of you have been in the dog house...
I became infatuated with a couple of banjo players on YouTube and one day I woke up with a banjo. The thing is I'm classically trained and have a lot of "I need the dots" baggage, and it's not tuned...
I can't answer the question because I have no experience with a Loar and have only ever had 2 mandolins, but I love my Eastman. I got a good deal from a classified here from the Mandolin Store.
I'm in camp "it's yours - do what you want".
That said, as a kid tried expressing myself via my case and regretted it. There was a flimsy leather-ish skin on the whole thing that had started to...
I know new strings stretch and sometimes it takes a day or two to stay in tune, but is it common for strings to... idk how to say it but like stretch into their tone?
I put these new strings on...

Definitely one at a time. I also love this video - I watch to warm up every time I start a string change. Another thing I do, that a lot of people...
The set I tried is much better the second day. I'm not in love with them, they're too heavy (it's hard to tune them - very tight), but last night I hated them so much I was going to change them...
I wasn't being cryptic on purpose, I just have imposter syndrome and try not to overshare. It is indeed a 404.
I tried heavy strings because there's an intermittent buzz on the G and read that...
