I’m a bit puzzled by the fact that no one asks how you go about learning a new tune. What are your sources? I’m asking this because when I got started on mandolin (after ten years of guitar) I was...

Just completed this build. Thought I'd try something a little different.

Western Red cedar top, English walnut back and sides.

I favor a slower pace that allows singing along.

I’ve installed and appreciated the McClung armrest on a number of mandolins that I’ve bought used, but I’ve been reluctant to put one on a custom order / new purchase. I like your determination to...

It's not one or the other: it's BOTH!

Sell, buy, trade, there is never a "correct" value, only what you can agree on. That being said, todays new prices or used(if enough data exists) can of course be and indication of value.

Here's David Bromberg doing Mr Bojangles and talking about Jerry Jeff Walker and how he wrote this song and how they would play it- all those years ago and the night in the drunk tank where Jerry...

Hey yall!

Welp, Kelley A5 #79 arrived safe and sound yesterday! Thanks to Kevin at Mandomutt in NC for working with me, and especially answering my questions over the weekend. I'm not recommending you bother...

The points are very uncomfortable. :)

I've found that when you cook brussel sprouts you should cook them the same way I cook Kale. I mix in a little olive oil as it makes both of them much easier to scrape off the plate into the garbage.

At least some of the A-Century mandolins had flat backs, and also some of the early A-00's.

Yes that is my understanding.

With both our anniversary and my birthday coming up, and having my wife's approval, had started looking more seriously for my first F style mandolin. Was thinking would wait longer when this one...

You forgot mandolins opening up/waking up :))

From a pre-covid concert - Caravan - Danny mandolin, John Previti bass, Amie Curl vocals & guitar, Baakari Wilder - tap percussion:

Firstly, Mandolin Cafe, thanks for being patient with a nerd like me who is probably overly excited about his first build and my most humble apologies for "over sharing" my progress as I've gone...

A lot of times it's not possible or feasible to totally loosen all tuning screws on old instruments and there is also little space between the screws.

So I took a mini screwdriver for standard...

Here’s a recent Kelley mandolin strung up in the white. It’s a black top, 100 year old red spruce top and tone bars. I think it’s going to be a strong mandolin....

This is just wrong, in several ways. Many people in this thread have pointed out that tablature is easier to learn, and especially so for many beginners. It is simply untrue that notation is...

I've been taking lessons from Emory for several years now and he puts on a small concert when he comes for a visit and last year when he was here he did this...I play just like this too...well,...

First and foremost, let me dispel a canard: Tablature doesn't lack rhythm!

Tab players might lack rhythm, but so, too, might players who are working from standard notation. In fact, rhythm...
