another thread showcased these musicians and i found this, lots of mandolin from the getgo-i have no idea if Andrew is playing the same mandolin or if it is a Halsey-gut check says it probably is....

Ever since the removal of the fretboard extension, mine's been confused.

In most languages it is feminine.

In Spanish it's feminine - la mandolina
In French it's feminine - la mandoline
in German it's feminine - die mandoline
in Dutch it's feminine
In Russian it's...

nope, nope, nope....

no genders or names, please!

(well, I guess Jeff Mando is OK...:cool:)

Mine's an it. It's little, and its a Gibson Junior A, so its named Junior.

Two things about this have always seemed fairly evident. First is that men frequently express affection for, dote on, and even caress objects that they possess such as instruments and vehicles, and...

AI doesn't create. It's a plagiarism machine--it steals ideas from humans and regurgitates them in slightly different forms. Copyright lawsuits have already been filed by visual artists and...

AI is a threat to all art and artists, and I've said as much in several posts on the Acoustic Guitar Forum.

Art is human expression. If one replaces the human with AI, what is left is mere...

I tend to move around difficult tunes by practising other, easier tunes in between. This gives me a chance to slowly ooze into the castle of challenge by using back doors I found on the easy detours...

Since Ronnie McCoury month was so fun I decided to do another month of transcriptions for y'all.

I think I've been asked about Sierra Hull's solos on the Sturgill Simpson albums Cuttin' Grass more...

Space blankets provide almost no insulation. They reflect body heat, but that isn’t going to help your mandolin :)

This is the craziest thread I've read for a long time.

Why on earth would anyone want to go skiing when they have a mandolin to play?!

-what is wrong with people?! :(

It's like, can I stop...

It's standard procedure only for people who lack imagination.

Mandolin pops up from time to time on "worship" recordings that definitely aren't bluegrass, so the excuse they've given you is crap....

Not current information, but just came across this YouTube vid featuring one of SOS's most exemplary works from his glory days. I don't know the player or how he came into possession, but the video...

And you shall!

Well, the more you drink, the better I sound. However, the more I drink...

A++?
To me, I've heard maybe 5 or 10 mandolins that I would grade as A++, and none of them were moderately priced factory instruments (although some are rather old factory instruments that were...

Latest video from Ian Coury on 10 string Brazilian bandolim, recently recorded with his quartet at Berklee College of Music. I hope this gets him a...

I think I've said it before, but I'm happy to hear that mandolin in the hands of someone who can do it justice. Being a Houston native, there has been a lot of discussion of where that mandolin...

I do it the easy way, with no math required. I just turn the wheels until I get no fret buzz, and take whatever action height at the 12th fret that gives. Different players have different opinions...

I thought I was the only crank who didn’t like the term “mando”. It bothers me almost as much as “Gibby” for Gibson. An aside: I don’t live there but I have heard from residents of Philadelphia that...

Not the instrument silly...the blonde holding the instrument. Oh, sorry not a mandolin. That's a Marilyn:cool:
