  1. Re: Bluegrass Mandolin Jam Tunes by Rick Williams any good?

    Aardbark,

    Checkout some of the offerings on Homespun. Butch Baldassari's 30 Fiddle Tunes For the Mandolin is well presented, and offers a slow/fast/rhythm track.

    Re: Help on counting this phrase

    Rhythmically, it feels like part of the intro to "Josie" by Steely Dan.
  3. Re: Heiden's....the most expensive modern mandolin builder?

    I don't know if Michael is the most expensive modern builder, but can safely say it's the most expensive mandolin I've purchased. I bought a used instrument directly from Michael, that he had just...

    Re: Top Current Makers

    I recently had some work done to an Apitius, a Gibson Adam Steffey model, and a Hinde. While the person doing the work had them, the players that took 1st and 3rd at Winfield this year played all...
  5. Re: Anyone know the Winfield Contest Winners for mandolin? 2023!

    I thought Ethan had won. The crazy thing is that Ethan and Luke play together. Luke is the guitar player in the ensemble.

    Figured I would give this a bump since we're less than a week out. :)

    Re: Adding an exterior pocket to a hard case

    I have a Hoffee and Calton Caseadillo cover. It does add an exterior pocket, but know you will not be able to put very thick items it the pocket. Music, maybe strings, but not much else.

    I got...

    Re: Shipping

    Another +1 for Pirateship.com. My guess, but it seems like they are basically a corporate account where you're "buying" their UPS service. Still goes to UPS just as if you bought the label at...

    Re: Who was the person that perfected

    Mark, agree, it would be less than a scientific test. :D I'm lucky, I think blindfolded, the feel of the Hinde would be something I would gravitate to, torrefied woods or not.

    But...I don't think...

    Re: Who was the person that perfected

    Man, tough question. I have a torrefied mando made by Steve Hinde. It's a great sounding instrument, but I didn't get it solely because it was torrefied. I got it based on recommendations from Nick...

    Re: Almost NMD - 2001 Apitius Grand Classic F5

    I'm with you...describing tone is like describing which ice cream tastes best. It's driven by what you like the sound of, and the person you're describing it to might not have the same...

    Re: My new favorite mando pick

    I'll definitely look for the Radex picks. I have a couple of CT-55s and like them. I also have a couple of ToneSlabs that I like as well. And, I have some of the Dunlop Prime Tone pics that depending...

    Re: Almost NMD - 2001 Apitius Grand Classic F5

    Eric,

    If you instrument was in Tyler's shop this past Saturday (white Calton case), then I did see it...that's a pretty cool mandolin! We were talking about cases, and mentioned that your Calton...

    I had a similar issue with fit. I had to send an F5 to Gibson for warranty repair. Instead of using the original Gibson TKL case, I had just purchased a mandolin that was sent to me in a new (old...

    Re: Almost NMD - 2001 Apitius Grand Classic F5

    I just got the instrument back from Tyler White. Not only did he repair the binding, but refretted with larger fret wire and set the instrument up. It's a wonderful sounding instrument, and doesn't...

    Almost NMD - 2001 Apitius Grand Classic F5

    I was fortunate to find a pretty strong deal on an Apitius Grand Classic. The only catch was that there was a cosmetic issue with the binding on the extension. The binding was extremely thin on the...
  20. Re: iReal Pro, Amazing Slow Downer etc...the list goes on!

    I'm a big fan of Transcribe!, and agree with Rich that Strum Machine is a pretty cool tool. I've also been using Tab|Edit, which is pretty fun as well.

    This is absolutely great. I know recovery won't be easy, but glad you're finding a way to overcome and adapt during the process.

    Re: Haunting of the 8th fret?

    Well...8th fret on the E string would be C.

    Luckily, that's not a note that would appear much in most keys.

    Re: Calton case w/Tone Guard

    I have an '03 Gibson Adam Steffey w/ToneGard in an Austin Calton. As mentioned, tight (for me tight on the sides) at first, but no problem at all.
