So, I ran the Tone Dexter and Grace Bix through my Scarlett Interface and played around with 2 different mandolins with K and Ks. In my opinion the Tone Dexter has a much more natural sound than the...
Everyone else seemed to understand my question just fine. You can save your rude responses for someone else. I am not talking about contact mics or SM57s or I would have asked about microphones. If...
I learned the Monroe version from Chis Henry. Good visualization of fingering here:

This is the cutting edge of sales these days. When someone orders something you send them the more expensive item “by mistake”.
FYI lots of knowledgable women on this forum as well.
Yes Jarrod Walker is a hoss of a picker. Billy’s band is playing the biggest venues for a bluegrass band out there (ever?). I think much of the kudos goes to their sound man for helping bring quality...
I would love to catch this show. Fortunately I will get to see a workshop on Mandolin Duos up at WinterGrass with Joe and Andrew Marlin. Should be prettyyy good. If I can get permission to record and...
Maybe it’s time to lay off going into every thread that contains the word Northfield and questioning or pointing out where they are made and what tier they are in as you seem ignorant on the issue....
Ya there is an instrument check if you aren’t staying at the hotel. I always stay there and can be between my room and any stage/workshop within a matter of minutes, so it’s no problem leaving it in...
Matt I will be up there and will have a nice mandolin or 3. We should definitely cross paths. Would be great to meet you.
This podcast episode came out after Baron Collins Hill and Noah Fishman put out a mandolin duet album and they talk about some of their thinking....
Also keep in mind people are talking about used instruments. Tough to get a new mid tier instrument to appreciate when purchased new at retail unless you intend to hold it a long time and get lucky.
I wasn’t aware that need was part of the equation.
Oh ya, I get that. And he had the ability to pull great players, of course. What aspiring bluegrass musician would not want to have a crack at playing with the master? But I also get why players that...
I can figure out the key of the song, but prefer to focus my energy on connecting with the music and playing it to the best of my ability than trying to figure out what and how we are playing a song...
I agree that it would be easier to hear the mandolin if it were played a little slower so the notes could ring out. Really hard to get too much information on the tone when played so quickly.
It...
Coated strings are helpful. I like the Daddario XS strings. The XTs should be fine also. Honestly probably just takes time and experience to get smooth with it. Compton suggests rubbing some nose...
I’d say their music is more of the David Grisman “Dawg music” pedigree which can ranges from bluegrass to jazz to Latin and all points in between.
The biggest reason is timing and rhythm. It will keep you in time and with solid rhythm that matches the music… I have to assume you are talking about bluegrass. I can’t speak to other music styles...
I used a Schertler Dyn-M with good sound results for a couple years. I did end up scratching and making marks on the finish and got tired of it falling off and eventually just switched to a K and K.
Here is a video by Chris Henry. He does a great job of teaching something called Staggered 1/16th note arpeggios. I haven’t watched this video but there is a good chance he covers it. Regardless if...
If someone is willing to pay for the instrument up front, cover shipping both ways, and generally thinks that it is the instrument they want I don’t think it’s mid-bad etiquette to send it back if it...
48 hour approval period is pretty standard ask in etiquette. It isn’t guaranteed but neither is a sale. If that is important to you don’t make a deal if the seller refuses.
I have read this book twice and like it. I recently listened to this podcast by Chris Pandolfi, banjo player for Infamous Stringdusters. He is talking to Chris Wood of the Wood Brothers and Medeski,...
