Happy listening,

Thanks y’all! It’s always fun making music with Noah!
Yes, it looks like I dropped the ball on Safe Harbor Rag. I learned it as being from the repertoire of Dick Walton and not that he has...
I spend 95% of my chording/accompaniment time playing double stops on the G and D strings exclusively. For example, a 75XX G chop chord, 52XX C chop, and 74XX D chop. I leave out the higher strings...
That's a beaut! I bet Calton or MainStage would make you a flight case

That's a mandola made by Lawerence Smart. I think he's had it for many years but it doesn't make that many appearances.
Thanks,

Update, I just tried GCGE and it is *very* fun. Thanks fore the inspiring question!
Baron
GCGC is fun, and I've never tried it but GCGE would be quite interesting!
A quick way to try this out is to string a mandola with light gauge mandolin strings tuned to FCGD (terraces step down from mandolin) and then put a capo on the second fret.
If you want to do...
That’s a beaut and sounds great too! I love a good ten string!
I’ve got a 10 string K-5 from Lawrence Smart that I adore. I’m sure he’d make an 8 string if he hasn’t already!

You should check out his TikTok, he’s on fire over there! 🤣
Science aside (and I'm generally in the camp of instruments *do* open up), if you (rather than a machine) put the requisite energy into the instrument yourself you'll be able to pull better tone out...
I know the feeling! Looks like you are using a nice wide strap, but perhaps something with more grip? I use a leather strap (nothing fancy) with a slightly rough natural underside that helps keep the...
I'm asking for some pretty specific hardware that doesn't exist and have a vision in my head, so I'm more than happy to do some scouting, they are also on the case.
Thanks
Baron
You put a clown on a tilt-a-whirl for long enough…
I saw that set, and I assume that’s what’s on it right now, but I don’t love the D string 34, as is up around 35 lbs of tension compared to about 25 for the other three courses. Also the phosphor...
Holy cow! What a beaut!
Thanks
Baron
I pretty much learned to play mandolin by pouring over these tabs as a kid, and it makes me so happy to see the project get new life! Thanks Larry!
Baron
This is excellent news, thanks to everyone involved!
Baron
What a beaut! And great rendition on that excellent Beare Island!
Thanks
Baron
So good!
