This is an interesting concept that a few people here have alluded to, and so it bears consideration. I have always heard previously that one should start slow and that if you try to speed up before...

Busy weekend. I've been taking note of everyone's excellent advice, but haven't had a chance to weigh in.
I'm in a learning environment, so there are mixed abilities among all the instruments,...
Looks cool, but he specifically states: " Bluegrass Jam Tunes books are not available by mail; you must come to the store in person to purchase one."
So if you don't live in Oklahoma ....
My Grandmother was Jemima Grace Jamieson, and she immigrated from Scotland in 1917. Thanks for this, Frank, it's lovely :mandosmiley:
Having at one point in my life flown single engine aircraft, I hear you about headsets. But I also wonder if you could just remove that button the way people with sensitivities (me, for instance)...
I was under the impression that structured vs unstructured had more to do with whether it was adjustable or not. I see that I'm also in the demographic of people that didn't know how much there was...
NFI, but this instrument looks like a great deal to me for a price of $2500.

I like the idea of khaki or dark green. I have way too many black hats. Red, I don't know, maybe not these days. I almost got into an altercation with someone not long ago when I was wearing a red...
That's an interesting still life you posted, Simon.
I remember going to an art museum years ago, and it was explained that still life pieces like this always had something imperfect, to remind us...

My DH and I went to this concert Friday night at the Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, Mass. (This is the second show I've seen at this venue, the sound is superb).
Here's a few pictures from...
Wow, I've been saving worn out jeans for years, hoping/planning to make them into something else, quilts, bags, etc. I could have a goldmine in my closet ;)
Totally off topic, and not mandolin related all, but your dilemma reminded me of this story.
When I was in my 20's we hired a mover to bring our stuff to our new (first!) house. It was summer and...
Fun music and nice video production :mandosmiley:
So I've taken a few of Matt Flinner's zoom classes, and they've been at 9PM eastern (which is a tough hour for me, not being a night owl). So 10AM for you? Doesn't sound too bad to me, depending on...
A bit of a Christmas miracle :mandosmiley:
Lovely looking instrument, Eric, and the local connection is great. Bet you're having a blast with it :mandosmiley:
A guy who bought one of my shirts told me he's had close to 60 Strad-O-Lins in the past 50 years. He pointed out on my f-hole model that the second to the highest fret is missing, and said this was...
That's the good part, isn't it :):mandosmiley:
Here's an oval hole model that I am fostering. I have two right now, and they are a little different from each other. I'm going to post a compare and contrast as soon as I take a few more pictures. ...
Northfield neck rest for changing strings, etc. I bought one of these for myself for Christmas :grin:
This place looks amazing. Looks like they have regularly scheduled underground concerts in addition to the festival, and the ticket prices aren't super crazy. Looks like I have a new addition to my...
An acquaintance of mine has a Toole. I was at a jam last night, sitting across the room from her, and could hear it clearly, what a sweet, bell-like sound. I've seen it up close, too. What a lovely...
