    Re: Musty Smell in the case and mandolin.

    In my experience, direct sunlight always works the best over time. But you can help it along! I've had luck with both very smelly cars and very smelly cases using Ozium - both the canister and the...

    Re: Case for small Martin tenor guitar?

    I recently picked up a case made for a reproduction baroque guitar and although it fits my size 2, it's very close to my old size 5 tenor case. (I have an 0-17T now so cases are a lot easier to come...

    Re: Tenor tuning - EBF#C#?

    I had been playing in lower tunings this week with the wrong strings (too floppy!) so I decided to try restringing. I didn't have the right strings around for FCGD, but I had the right ones to pull...

  6. Re: Buzzing on Greek Bouzouki since I changed tuning + string gau

    Michael,

    My first thoughts are:

    1. The fourth fret is high. Can you use a small straight edge placed from the 3rd to the 5th frets, and see if it rocks back on forth on the 4th fret? That fret...
  7. Re: just starting out - what are my string options?

    pheffernan has the best option for Jazz: tune to "standard" tenor tuning, CGDA, and get yourself some tenor banjo books. Mostly the tenor banjo books have Jazz repertoire in them. You don't have to...
  8. Re: A tune I wrote for octave mandolin - Something Squirrelly

    Sounds great! Going to give this a shot capoed on my tenor guitar. Won't have quite the same ring, but I think it'll work.

    Frankenstein electric tenor

    I have a habit of putting together frankenstein guitars, especially tenors: more than one 6 string neck has made a few passes through my band saw and been attacked by rasps and planes and become a...

    Re: Your thoughts on this old Kay?

    I’ll bite: 1920-1930s. (I know they brought back the Venetian shape for mandolins in the 1950s or 60s, but I don’t think they did tenors that way again, or at least not with pearloid.)

    CGDA would...

    Re: New to the emando world.

    Looks great! I love that copper pickguard. Reminds me of the original guards on the Fender JazzMaster and the like. Can't wait to hear a sound clip!
