Looks like his radar ears are zeroing in on the tap-tuning.

Thanks Mike. Been there, done that (Google search as you describe).
Thought I might direct the O.P. to search results without sending him off-site. After various roadblocks I decided to abandon the...

Beware... A good mandolin can be addictive and just might become your new favorite hobby. The whole 'web development' thing may suffer.

My point wasn't meant to accuse you of taking advantage. My point was that they (Walter and Christie) know that all it takes is a little temptation. Good luck!

The folks at Carter Vintage are great. I'm sure they welcome you're instrument 'browsing' with smiling faces and open arms. Ultimately though, they keep the doors open through sales.

Glad they caught the rotten bast... offenders.

I don't believe Skip Kelley was mentioned. Another frequent contributor.

No... Bernie's right. The whole thing is subjective. The first question asked in the OP is: Does the mandolin have a “flagship” song?
Literally calls for a 'yes-or-no' answer, but obviously any...

Maybe there's more to your technique than you're letting on...

I'm not a doctor (don't even play one on TV) and I don't know what that irritated spot is exactly. My only observation/advice is that thumb placement on your fretting hand is (should be) different on...

Oops... Wrong thread.

"Why is bluegrass always played so fast, and does anybody really still enjoy it once it hits groundbreaking speeds?"
