Thanks Ranald
I am thrilled and excited to perform and demonstrate the enchanting qualities and versatility of the mandolin family of instruments. I will perform a well-rounded selection of mandolin pieces on...
I recently had the opportunity to accompany and listen to a reknowned classical player audition the Eastman 515 CC/N against the other mandolins present in the Music Emporium showroom just outside...
Has anyone compared the Fisoma Supersolo, Lenzner Mandolin Strings to Thomastiks and if so how do they compare in sound quality, loudness and longevity?
Thanks!
Super Tom! Love your groove!
Hi Mandolinian,
It would be easiest to recommend the microphones if we knew the application. Is this for home use, recording or on stage performance. Loud environments or quieter venues? I have...

We’ll be have been back doing some gigs!
Here we are actually separated from the audience by a plexiglass wall!
Let’s continue to be safe!
Have a great safe and festive season!

I support Florian too! Come on everyone, Florian is a great and dedicated mandolin player and teacher. He has offered lots to the mandolin community. Let’s show our appreciation by supporting our...
Well I invited the seller over to audition the Schertler Jam 100. It is quite impressive as an acoustic amplifier. I played a couple of nice acoustic mandos through it with glorious results. The...
I was wondering what is the average cost to refret a teen oval Gibson A model these days. I know it varies quite a bit but my Gibson is approaching refret needs!
If there is anyone who deserved such a “Beast”, this is surely you!
Enjoy it at may it bring lots of Nachas to you as a player. It will bring lots of joy to your worldwide listeners.:mandosmiley:...
Please don’t take this in the wrong way!
I am not trying to be pretentious!
If binding would have been essential for either playability or acoustics I think Stradivarius would have figured that one...
Just my opinion:
1. The wider nut will provide you with more fretboard space to accommodate an arthritic condition for finger placement BUT make sure the neck dimension is NOT TOO thick in the back...
I don’t think there is any need to qualify the $150 cost for this event. It is way beyond my expectations. Along with my inscription I have repeat access and I get to meet fine people in this COVID...
Since my early exposure to playing mandolin, almost 60 years, I have been fascinated by musical instruments. Sound emanating from wooden boxes, wave patterns hitting my ears from a simple needle...
Thanks Bradeasley!
Here is the reference link for all of you with more information about the event. Certainly this will be helpful....
Personally I find it a both disappointing and insulting to have absolutely NO description of content. Yes he is Chris Thile but we are a community of supportive mandolin players who are also people....
Tim,
Enjoy you new mando! The mtv2’s sing with a beautiful bell-like texture...all the way up the neck!
I find the stings lovely to play however the bass is definitely not as powerful.
The strings are more laid back or you could say less upfront, less drive!
They are much easier to fret with less...
David,
Which Thomastiks sets are you using on your Mandola and Mandocello?
Thanks!
I sent Florian a request asking if he could provide recordings of the exercises I thought it would also help him market this incredible set of lessons. It had already been suggested to him. It is...
Follow up from my previous post!
The Thomastik D and G strings last for a very very long time! They certainly outlast both the wound A and Plain E strings.
I change the E string of the Thomastiks. This is the only unwound string!
When the A string loses timbre I sometimes replace it with unwound A strings. I find the wound D and G strings significantly...
That was lovely Tom..the way you maintain the sustain and respond to it is wonderful to listen to and experience.
Great with headphones by the way!
Thanks for posting!
Mandolins have higher string tension than guitars. You could reduce this tension by changing to lighter gauge strings. You may even consider flat top strings but they are more expensive. What string...
