Perhaps thou art relying on the written page too much or have wound the spring too tightly. Is the same issue present when playing a steady stream of the notes which jump not merrily about? Practice...

I don't really like to revive a three year old thread to my first post on a new forum, but this thread and others like it made me put off replacing the original stamped tailpiece on my Eastman MD...

You're going to no doubt be inundated with suggestions, but as a mutual fan of shady grow, there are two mandolin CDs that never leave my rotation and that I consider "must own". Both feature Butch...

Too bad. The banjo is really perfect for silent movies.

On the few occasions when I have met other cafe members, they are usually people whose usernames you don't know because they never post. I have the feeling that a large number people who are members...

Yes - you missed the other T in getting. ;)

Sounds like a buncha other things are not going right: no car, no computer, etc. Bad karma in one area can spill into another. Don't expect to always feel the same about any activity, whether it's...

A valid question.
Answer: Because if you take away idle speculation, I'll have little or nothing to read here in the morning.

Here goes the idle speculation again. Why not wait to see how it plays out?

I just pulled the trigger on the book after reading this thread- $33, and it seems like most of that will go to the artists/writers since it is through a small publishing company!

OK this has been a process of research, research, more research - and - eventually jumping into the deep end of the pool. I avoided staining for a long time and watched the James Condino video a...

Really no need to make a public scene of anything and no need to name individuals. Use of the Classifieds is a privilege, not a public right and anyone that we deem doesn't belong can take their...

People have been making violins that look aged for centuries. People do sometimes want something that looks pleasantly worn in, and I think it's disingenuous for anyone to pretend that they can't see...

None of my mandolins are distressed but all of my mandolins are depressed because even when I do my best, I can't even play as good as Bill's long lost cousin Morgan Monroe may his soul eternally...

Use the P.A. for both the vocal and the mandolin it should have all the xlr inputs you need and monitors work well to hear yourself. forget the amp.

Most "acoustic amps" have a microphone channel with a female XLR socket, and an instrument channel that accepts quarter-inch connectors. If you're going to use two microphone-level inputs, your mic...

I have three. For each of these, imagine you are playing a one octave scale ascending and descending, repeating the top note when you start descending. DoReMiFaSolLaTiDoDoTiLaSolFaMiReDo. This makes...
