    Re: Gibson Mandobass #87717

    Now now, let's not get too harsh on the Gibson J model, just because it's not a double bass. On the plus side, you'll get more sound than any acoustic bass guitar ever made. And think about it......

    But it's possible that the mandolin does have roots in Africa. European chordophones can be traced back to the oud, which was imported to Europe from the Middle East and North Africa (the oud is...

  14. Re: Could a 12-string be repurposed as an octave mandolin?

    years ago, one of local musicians had a 12-string guitar permanently converted to octave mandolin configuration by a competent guitar luthier. headstock was shortened from 12 tuners to 8 tuners, I do...

    No mandolin content, but jazz fans and lovers of American music should note the all too young passing of one of our greats, Ron Miles.
