Kent 744 electrics aren't easy to find. When you do find them, they're usually sunburst.

They also come in blonde, and I've had two of the blondes pass through my hands, although not at the same...

After playing for 50 years and never suffering MAS, I caught a serious case this summer when I bought my APC mandocello. I think I reached Stage 2, and the symptom is this brand new Beavertail...

This is sad news. Roland was a dear friend and was a joy to be around. He was always fun to jam with and made everyone in the jam feel like they were a star. I saw the character of Roland when he...

I had to clear my head from that banjo-mandolin:grin:. Thanks for Listen'n:mandosmiley:

I think or Dry as a strong fundamental with some fo the overtones that give ti depth, I perceive wet as a diminished fundaments with stronger overtone, I perceive woody as strong fundamental with...

So the obvious question after hearing these accounts from J. Condino and Dan Rosenberg:

"Is there any need to buy an expensive instrument at all? Why not just play a $300 guitar or an affordable...

Almost forgot to mention! I added one more Gilchrist into the mix for these reviews because I know y'all wouldn't mind it. ;)

This video is especially made for Cafe members! I know we always talk a lot about equipment, and picks are definitely no exception here. So I thought I'd make an exhaustive review of the Apollo pick...

Thanks so much for reminding me to watch Pete's economics videos! The one about holding the mandolin is a must view - I've been messing around with strap length, and how I wear the strap to...

The business about wrist curls (a flat out cure for me) is from the book "Sports Health" by Southmayd and Hoffman. There's more info there.

I’m of the belief that Chris applied something to the interior of his mandolins to combat shifts in humidity and later compared notes with Charlie Derrington.

And then they could fix the scroll shape at least back to where it was pre-flood.

This is a performance of Clarice Assad’s “Song for My Father” (Sergio Assad), by the New American Mandolin Ensemble, from a concert in Steenwijk, The Netherlands, in 2014. The piece was originally...

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Arthur was a friend to everyone in the mandolin world and a brilliant artist. He was a long time forum contributor and a fountain of knowledge and experience...

John Reischman just revealed the album cover and name of his upcoming solo album on Instagram and we have something to add to this. Some info at the link below which appears on his new Instagram...

I cut my stringing time by more than half by changing to the method shown towards the end of this video. Seems obvious once to do it a couple of times.

I think "lifelong keeper" is down more to how the mandolin sounds and feels to play vs. a price range guaranteeing "keeper" status. Years ago I had a really great Weber Gallatin F that I got second...

Some examples of "teaching the basics" you'll see a lot when questions are asked:

Left hand position & technique:

Keep the left hand relaxed
Angle the fingers like a fiddler would
Don't choke...

It is a solo arrangement of Pixinguinha´s Choro Vals Sensível, originally made for mandolin but performed here on mandola. The basic of the arrangement can be found in Mike Marshall´s Choro Book...

If you haven't already tried this, figure out just how much pressure you need apply to the strings with your left hand fingers to get the notes to sound cleanly. Then practice playing a bit...

All great advice here. I would add to RELAX. Music, sports, piloting jets all require you to be able to perform complicated physical and mental tasks while remaining relaxed. Or, you'll tighten up,...

Hey guys....I’ve been running fevers for about 10 days and the Drs are trying to figure it out. It’s not Covid....they tested that twice now which probably makes like 12 of those I’ve had in the...

Hi Guys,
Hope that you’re all keeping well and safe. The chambered body electric mandolin is now complete and here’s the final video. There are some nice photos and a demo to show how it all works....
