Can anyone who listened to the early years of Rock n Roll with performers like Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis say "Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones" aren't rock? Just because a genre evolves...

Enjoy!

My hometown (Los Alamos NM) sits at 7000' above sea level and routinely sees low RH numbers like that. Can't touch anything metal in the winter without a pretty serious static charge. I was...

The retail community has been very supportive of the Cafe. This has never been about them. I'm not concerned about the individual on a budget that has one mandolin and upgrades every few years. By...

You tell 'em Scott!

I doubt there is anyone frequenting this site that has not lost something they love. People, retailers, restaurants, writers, movie and TV entertainers, you name it. This...

This type of crack is perfectly normal for instruments that get too dry. I know that doesn't make it any more comforting, but at least you are not alone. :)

Being in the repair business in Reno,...

Ukuleles are the biggest bargains in playable instruments that I've found. Bernunzio is selling these plywood Makala "Dolphin" soprano ukes for less than $50 with a thin vinyl gig bag, and they're...

I'm fortunate that I live within a 30 minute drive from The Mandolin Store located in Surprise, AZ (I'm in Phoenix). I've been wanting to upgrade to a higher quality mandolin and have been pestering...

Well, there is a teeny bit of mandolin content, a pretty good bit of Bluegrass content . . . but just a really cool presentation by Martin of the history of the dreadnaught guitar. IMO well worth 40...

I don't expect many to agree with me when I say that this is wonderful.

Mandolin owners frequently don't know a lot of these things.

My SWAG (Scientific Wild-A**ed Guess): 99% tradition, 1% some experimental results of centuries past, devolving into tradition.

"Nice vintage mandolin case for sale with FREE decorative mandolin shaped wall art!"

I can't believe that we are this far into Thanksgiving and nobody has offered up thanks to the creator of this website, the moderators and the Mandolin Cafe community. In the 10++ years I've been a...

Interviewer: "Well, Grandpa, congratulations on turning 100 today! Bet you've seen a lot of changes in your time!"

Grandpa: "Yeah, and I was agin every one of 'em!"

Best change since I started...

I know what you mean although learning the mandolin is still a challenge (at least for me), anyhow, this thread reminded me of this Monty Python sketch a little (in the nicest possible way) :)

I've played both since I was a kid. the jury's still out, but both need practice and effort. Neither is "easier" than the other.

I'll say this. As a youngster I missed out on a number of legendary performers, because I thought the ticket price too high. It didn't occur to me that they'd pass or retire and I'd never get to see...

He doesn't miss you.

UPDATE (Final): It's over. We have unloaded the wagons. We are not unpacked yet -- that will take a while, with a re-ordering of what was where. (We will grab any excuse for that. It is an old...

Why don't you contact me privately with these questions. I'm not comfortable with some of the advice I see already. No one replying here except Mike really knows what kind of screening process we...

Giving all Pawn Shops a bad rap is like saying all musicians are lazy and will never amount to anything. Pawn shops are as individual as musicians, it all depends on whose in charge and their...
