I have Rubners on my last build and find they hold tune just fine. 26:1 is a huge ratio, I've never heard of mandolin tuners with that ration.
Pretty sweet......

This thread reminds me of something I’d not thought of in many years. My wife and I got married very young and I started attending her church. I was 20 and had been playing (owning, really) guitar...
The harmonic avalanche is indeed a Grappelli trademark -- so integrated into his style that when another violinist suddenly playing a "harmonic flurry" in the middle of a solo, it so rarely sounds...
While we do have 12 or so natural harmonics available on the mandolin, I haven't heard them employed as freely as violinists use them in swing jazz.
Grappelli in particular (e.g. 1.00 to 1.04...
Been playing in a church choir with mandolin, mandola, mandocello & guitar for years now. Only complaints I've heard were about not enough mando__ (fill in the blank). Advice: Sit in on a couple of...
A funny, fitting anecdote:
I only get invited to play Mandolin for service two times a year… Christmas and Easter.
Bass on the other hand…. Has brought me all around the State and filled my...
I'm going to echo that sentiment. Just because I have a mandolin and can play it does not mean that I should automatically be included in any group, even if I or others think I should be.

I am the pastor of a very conservative Lutheran church. As you could probably guess, most of our music is older hymns with an organ as accompaniment. I love that above statement because some...
Well... I play mandolin, fiddle and guitar in my church band. No one in the congregation has complained about my mandolin renditions of hymns or the grassier tunes that come in for "specials". Maybe...
Dan, we probably have an average attendance of about 150. I've played 2 or 3 solos with piano accompaniment, which seemed to go over well. Several members have asked why I don't play with the...
When I was attending a Southern California mega church the contemporary praise band was acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums, lead male singer, lead female singer, backup male...
Half a lifetime ago I read an interview with drummer Carmen Appice, who consumed large quantities of bananas for muscle support against cramps. Could be a connection there.
My DH and I went to this concert Friday night at the Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, Mass. (This is the second show I've seen at this venue, the sound is superb).
Here's a few pictures from...

I took some correspondence lessons form John way back when. I recently came across the original sheets he mailed me. They were done in pencil. I decided to re-scan them and share here. Some nice...
Promised Santa (or at least Mrs. Claus) I'd be good if there might be an A model mandolin in my future. Guess it worked.
A model from Steve Boeh of Woodbury, MN. This is #37. Minnesota pine top...

Sharon is such a good mandolin player, and an excellent teacher.
Interesting story about this mandolin i just read in the video info, first time i've heard about this, keep in mind i live under a...
It’s basically very easy Max. For your benefit atnd that of our American cousins -
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when...

Ok friends, drum roll please…..
-I agree that #2 is the overall best sounding pick. 1 gives a darker tone and plays nicely as far as sliding off the the strings. It also darkens the tone on...
Many threads comment on this. Two tips: the loop end can be carefully bent first, with small pliers so that it slips under the hook more easily. And, as a general practice, keeping strings from...
