Hey All,
My music teacher and I developed an Irish trad tunebook that we're putting out here for all to use. I know there’s already a few out there, but this one’s ours! It contains tabs and...
Saw this initial post awhile back and never got around to replying. Thanks for the comments. Guessing most people on this site don't know this exists (or care, lol...), so here's the link for anyone...

I know lockdown is getting bad when Canon in D starts to seem interesting again. So I have had a shot at it with 2 mandolin parts. I originally planned more but the predominance of treble was...
Nevin’s correct, the ignition point of even fresh celluloid is very low, and a 100 year old pickguard has curled because it has changed it’s composition over time. This is why it may not flatten...
That's similar to my reasoning. I have enough scrap ebony to make them and otherwise it would just sit there an dcollect dust. Aand buying them from US is rather expensive for us in EU these days....
Bought strings from everywhere but now only buy from Jason at gimmesomestrings@gmail.com. Best prices and super fast service.
The old Forum software has been reinstalled. But I wasn't done meddling just yet. I saw some things in the other version and decided they had their place here so changes have occurred in the...

I have been giving away the free setup ebook for nearly four years now, and I thought you'd be interested in some observations I have. First off, if you want my free ebook on how to...
Red Wing Black birds remind me of my late father. I used to mainly see them on a golf course when I played with him. We never listened to the Beatles together.
You may have to find the score and...
I'm the said busker and hello forum! To answer the question about what I was playing it was just simple versions of fiddle tunes mostly oldtime but some bluegrass ones as well. "Forked Deer" "Jenny...
I've done loads of solo busking with mandolin, and it's my primary source of income. Although I will play a bit of old time/bluegrass, when playing on the street the vast majority of tunes I play are...
