I've been looking forward to it. #Only had it a day, but I think it is great. #Although I bought it for the two Gene Clark songs, figuring there had to be something good in the 11 other songs. #No...

Blowin In the Wind -- that's my favorite.

The best time I've had playing was at a Dylan 60th Birthday celebration. #Some guy rented a whole bar and we were the only ones that showed up to play....

Who would have thunk it. #Awesome.

I know this is not exactly what you asked, but it is relevant. #

I HAD a Weber Sage I -- edit, it was an Alder not Sage -- flattop mandola. #Now, I have a Weber Bridger, carved top. #

I love...

Wish I could be there to hear and cheer you guys, Ira.

Thanks for the info Smurf.

I've got a decent standalone recording system, but have been thinking about trying things on my computer so I'll be ready when it's upgrade time (hopefully, several...

I also kick myself for selling one a few years ago. Great sound.

The D-hole is large enough to mount a Fishman Rare Earth pickup for some serious sound levels if needed.

It's a good instrument...

Yes, the MR-8HD is going for $399 at most big music stores. Plus, you get phantom power to drive condenser mics, one can record 4 tracks simultaneously, you don't have to plunk down $50 or so for a...

I agree with Jeff on the Aquarium, if you have lots of time.

Maple Street usually has 5 to 7 new mandos. But, if you want to try some used and new -- try Midtown Music on Druid Hills Road in...

Another really cool benefit of the Webers with the oval/D-hole is that one can mount a pickup like the Fishman Rare Earth (one model has a mic and magnetic pickup) easily. It sounds great for playing...

I had one a couple of years ago, and regret selling it. #It was a great instrument -- I swear to this day, I hit the best three note run in my life on it (those moments don't happen very often for...

I've had a number of electric mandos. #I definitely prefer acoustic mando, but electric is fun to experiment.

All of mine have been 8 string, but I often play them with only 4 strings. #The string...

The Tascam CDRW750 is definitely a way to go if you just want a stereo recording from you Mackie mixer. If you want to spend less money, there are consumer CD recorders for roughly $200 (even less...

Old Waves are absolutely great -- I've had three, still have an octave and could kick myself for selling the OW mandola.

I hardly ever play manodLIN anymore -- mandola and octave are my preference...

I had a Weber Alder flattop mandola that was a great fine playing instrument. I currently have a Bridger mandola, but would be more than happy with the Alder.

The Alder is made of very nice wood...

I had a Ric mando for awhile.

It was a great conversation piece, but for me it just wasn't very flexible. I took it to a gig a couple of times, but after a while left it at home because I liked...

Congratulation. #Have had three OWs -- everyone great. #Still kicking myself for selling two of them -- I play mostly Octaves, so let the mandolins go. #They were really nice in all respects --...

I've used everything from the $8 jobs to the Peterson. While I always thought I was in tune with the less expensive jobs, the Pete really makes a difference to me. I'm a stickler for being perfectly...

Thanks for the tip - that's a nice chunk of wood. Out of my range, but nice to look at.

Hans CD is a boot, but a very good one that was broadcast live on FM radio. Hillman plays mandolin (not bass), Crosby appears for a few songs with Clark and McGuinn. It's one of the better boots and...

I've never played a Prucha, but the ones I've seen on here look very nice and they get good comments from those that have played them.

I've had several Flatirons and thought highly of them (still...

Not sure these comments will help you, but I'll make a few anyway.

I've never used the Boomerang, but I have used two units with much shorter sampling times. I used to use these with electric bass...

Merry Christmas Bill.

Really nice looking Octave. I've had the one you built for me 3 years now and it is just absolutely fantastic. Even I sound good on it.

I used to use one on my baritone guitar.

Really cool. I tried it once on my 8 stringer, but the paired strings just don't work right.

Just thought of something else. #I have an Epiphone A syle mandolin that my wife bought me about 10 years ago. #It is a great starter mando(actually it's better than just a starter) -- I have not...
