is it now? maybe you should lower the humidity in that room.

[rimshot] get it? (bad Dad joke)

sweet! loved it

I play GHS LSB250 strings on my oval hole. I tried them one time and really liked the way they sound, play and last a long time.
I might try the nickel ones mentioned above next time based on all...

I missed it, but here's a clip from Billy's Facebook fan page:

Congrats on a decade of mandolin!

My suggestion is to take a mandolin themed vacation.

and to clarify: "new" mandolin really means "another" mandolin

Nice!!! I think you guys are good enough to be let back in the house now.

Would it be wrong if I don't play anything at all and just hold up my mandolin each time the word is sung?[/QUOTE]

Maybe just strum the chords really loud every time someone sings...

Hey all, I've got Sampler 1, and should be able to send it back out by this weekend.

Here's a bump for the distribution list:

I woke up today and my FB feed was all about it. I'm stunned. So shocking and sad, but so many say he couldn't have scripted his exit any better. He was truly a legend and more influential than most...

The pick sampler was a great way for me to evaluate my playing and preferences. I tried dozens of picks and figured out what size / shape that's most comfortable to me. Then criteria like...

well hey, I might as well chime in too. I bought an Alvarez A-100 in 1998 partly because I really liked my Alvarez guitar and partly because that's what my local guitar store sold. It served me...

First of all, Let's hear a big round of applause for all of us, and Chris Daniels in particular, for rebooting the Traveling Pick Sampler and keeping this going. Yet another fine example of what a...

Yeah! I'm only at 304 posts, but I'll be darned if I'm missing out.

Flogging Molly is a band with a big following and includes a mandolin player. I'm wondering if it's also part of the growing popularity of jam-grass bands like Yonder Mountain String Band, Greensky...

you should learn "Funiculi Funicula". It's a classic "hey I recognize that song" and you can play it over and over until the tip bucket strapped to your belt is full. Play it every 48 minutes, or...

I use Dawg picks. I bought them at first when I moved on from Fender Medium guitar picks. I chose them mostly for the name and price. I bought a few and thought they were fine and they sound great in...

You totally need to do this to avoid playing stale tunes. I usually use my bike tire pump, and wrap the end in scraps of an old cashmere sweater so it doesn't scratch anything. How often? Usually...

Hey Joe, Welcome to MI!

I don't know any specific mandolin setup men around SE MI, (I do my own adjustments thanks to Rob Meldrum and his ebook) but here are a few leads for you: (note: all...
