iPhone quality sorry:)
Here's an revised copy of John McGann's Guitar and Mandolin Tablature Reader's Guide to Standard Notation. I just edited it to get the pages in correct order.
Not sure whether to enjoy this or be afraid, but the instrument is cool and the view even cooler. Coil springs act as delay line and reverb, drum heads amplify. After a bit of reverb demo the bow...
Hey guys! I just wanted to show you guys my latest restoration. Check out the You Tube link to listen to it. Steve Smith of Cumberland Acoustics commissioned me to restore his Lyon Healy parlor...
About 6 years ago I built myself a carbon fiber mandolin. I posted on here about it, here's the thread:

No.
Far from it actually.
Or Sierra Jarosz?
In a way, he was punk long before punk. Saying Bill wasn't that great with the mando is like saying Johnny Rotten was a lousy vocalist compared to Celine Dion - it sort of misses the point completely.
I noticed a couple recent threads about Led Zeppelin and the mando, and thought folks might dig this. It's a mash-up of several trad tunes and loose interpretations of three Zep tunes:Battle of...
Hi folks, To put some fears to rest. The Weber brand will continue to be built domestically only and there is no intension to bring on an import under the Weber name. Breedlove mandolins with also...
Well, I don't expect a Kobe flatiron steak when I go to McDonald's. :-)

Here is my latest creation. Carpathian spruce, quilted maple sides & back with black walnut wedges, black walnut head stock overlay with bl/w wood purfling,compound radiused fret board, Orrico solid...

I'm aware it's been a while since you posted this comment, but I can't help myself when I read Flogging Molly :D
While your statement is definitely true for their first few albums especially, I...

Hello all, sorry I missed your last email Billy.
It never ceases to amaze me how incorrect the rumor mill can be. No truth to this latest that Gibson mandolin production is down to one or less...
So today I decided that as someone who both takes mandolin playing seriously and lives in NY (albeit three hours upstate from the city) it was high time I visit Mandolin Brothers. Left after...
I just want to say that that's a real, great friend you got there. Wish I knew someone like that.. Very envious :)
I did a book on doublestops for Bluegrass Mandolin. You can download it free at my web site.
When mandolins were widely popular, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the label "mandolin" got stuck on instruments that had no connection with what we think of as a mandolin. This is...
Ahhh geeze, this same thing happened to me about 25 years ago.....backed over my own mandolin, girlfriend felt terrible........my case was better though & it was repairable, just a top crack. ...
