Really? Those words aren't self-explanatory enough on their own. They are adjectives! Not nebulous names like "Ken"!
You know what, you're just proving what I was objecting to. Clique crap!

Oh I see. The message is lost. Thank you.
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a discovery I made the other day. I was trying many different methods of amplifying my mandolin with varying degrees of success when I decided to try the...
That is a great place to be except that your head might feel like it's fixin to 'splode from time to time. You're about 1.5 years behind me (journey wise, not ability wise) and it is still a fresh...
What makes you take a stand such as this? Does a fiddler say such things about their bow? How about a metal guitarist? Do they say similar things about their pedals? How about a saxophonist? Do they...
If y'all wish to speak in half thoughts and codes and insider-collector shorthand, then I don't think I'm going to get much out of this place. And I really don't think many others will either. I'm...

Do you mean to articulate a difference between this "Ken" guy and other builders. Are you implying something that would be made more clear by just telling us the back story? Or is everyone on this...
You are so important to so many of us players and listeners Mr. Bush, please have a wonderfully blessed birthday. You are so loved.
Yes. This is a big thing. I simply won't do more than a single tune without a binder in front of me. That way when the fog suddenly rolls in, I turn my eyes to the binder and bingo! Fog dissipated....
As a long time lover and user of StrapLocks I have to say that I recently saw an advertisement for a new locking strap design by D'Addario that I thought ingenious and worth investigating. Sorry I...
I can't speak to the black Wegens, but the tonal differences between the white Wegens and the Primetones is quite significant to me. I'm surprised you don't mention it. I just recently switched away...
Mando porn.
Ah yes, this is where they separate out the pros from the advanced amateurs. :)
I always enjoy 4 Days at Teluride, but when I can't find the time to get away, I always turn to my trusted friend- Case Deoderant. Case Deoderant, use responsibly.
I don't know if I said it before or not, but just in case I didn't I wanted to thank you Rob for sharing this valuable information with the likes of a nobody like me. I am semi-retired with no...
Those look purdy Steve. What's the A-style sound like? Is it rich and deep with popping bell-like highs? One can only imagine what you are creating lately Steve. You sir are quickly becoming "the...

I'm not convinced you actually know the qualities of Monel strings although you speak as though you do. Caveat emptor.
I just received a set of NB1252BTs . That was really weird because I ordered a set of NB1152s, but they shipped me NB1252BTs. This is significant because I always would switch out my high "E" .11 for...
Yeah it is crazy that no one just states "this song in Sawmill" or these songs in Sawmill tuning.
I play one song so far in Sawmill, but I would like to learn more, I just can't seem to find...
We all love you and wish you all the best Ivan. And many of us want you to know that cancer is beatable. I have had 3 diagnoses and 2 operations. Currently I am pretty darned healthy and very...
Hey just want to let anyone despairing out there like I was know that this life and existence is so mysterious and confusing. Couple that with the fact that we each get an ego to manage or be managed...
I am finding some healing and maybe even some callous-building by recording myself often and listening with headphones so there is no escaping the reality of my own voice. I will get desensitized to...
Yeah I use G Sawmill or GDGD and have a mandolin dedicated to that tuning. Blessings
When paring down my instrument collection I always set aside one or two instruments to GIVE to another musician or aspiring musician. I had no such benefactor when I was without an instrument to play...
