Does anyone know if a good teacher in the St. Louis area? I've had no luck searching and I'd like to do in person lessons since I've never played in front of someone after 4 years. Otherwise I'm...

Hi all. Couldn't figure where to post this, but did anyone have any leads on St Louis area in person lessons? I'm debating zoom style or one on one, but can't find any good info for my area. Thanks...

I just bought one of the Music Nomads because of this thread Doug posted a link to. I tried it out last night for a string change and I was really happy with it. I usually just used a pillow which...

I believe it's 4:30pm Sweden time, I"m here in the Pacific time zone and it's 8:30 am. I think the cost was $5.00 USD to join

Thanks everyone for the info, much appreciated

Blue chip pick is mine. She bought it purely I the thought it was a good bargain. I'm trying to get her to give to me though. ��

Don't know much about it, besides my mother in law purchasing it at a antique shop. She paid roughly $200. Any info that I can pass along to get would be great. It's got a great tone. Thanks

Thank you all so much, great suggestions all around.

Awesome!! Thank you so much, it is the one.

I was trying to get this tune before the summer and now it's popped into my head again and I would like to start practicing it again. Problem is I can't remember for the life of me the name of it...

Hi All

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot to post. But here goes. I'm a newbie less than a year, and my dear friend and I are thinking of doing a duet together at a open mic. Only after a...

I hope I can make my sound like that one day, nice work Chanmandolin!

No, thank you both for the suggestion. I do have a strap, since I've first picked up one. Just seems that my thumb on my right hand, fretting hand, seems to be glued sometimes to the neck.

Hi All.

I've been playing steady now since April of this year (16') and I have been happy with my progress, playing at least 30+ minutes a day and I've only missed one.

My question is in...

I'm new to playing, about 9 months steady. Something that I've been wondering and making me think I'm not picking/strumming correctly. I don't have a pick guard or show any signs of pick contact on...

I read on here and have done it in the past, was to put some painters tape on the tailpiece and that way they don't come off

After @flatrock Hill suggestions, I headed over to the local shop that specializes in wooden instruments. After looking at it and playing with the bridge a bit. His only other issue was that the...

One thing I've noticed is a difference in sound with the A strings. The first problem is my beginner ears which might be the root of the problem. The A strings sound different from the others,...

Got mine yesterday, and I'm loving it. I'm still learning to play and I wanted a serious upgrade from the A style that I bought sometime ago. I love the sound and the flat finish on it. I wouldn't...

I totally agree, it seemed a bit simplistic and now that you mention "adapted for mandolin", that sounds about right. For 6 bucks I'll play with it this month, but as of right now I don't see myself...

Looks interesting, I'm going to try it for a month
