    Thanks to everyone at Mandolin Cafe for the many many hours of interesting reading, helpful tips, wonderful music and the opportunity to gather (figuratively) with fellow mandolin players. You have...
  2. Re: Why do some higher end mandos return to the market so quickly

    I agree. There is the "thrill of the chase" that doesn't linger once you obtain such target instrument. I think that's the essence of GAS and MAS. Strangely, I have had bouts of GAS but not MAS. ...

    Re: What is this pick?

    I, too, liked that pick in Sampler #2. I suspect it might be buffalo horn. I tried one in that material years ago and liked it.
  4. Re: New Member, new mando, question about picks....

    +1 on the pick sampler. It's so much easier to learn what works for you without a large investment in picks.

    Re: Post a pic of your cat sleeping in your case

    Sorry for your loss of your cat. Loving a pet is one of the most satisfying relationships you can ever have, and one of the most sorrowful when you must say farewell.

    Re: Hearing aids

    I visited my audiologist yesterday. My hearing had declined (apparent even with my hearing aids on) and I was sure I needed a tweak. Only one ear had noticeably declined, thankfully, and she was...
  9. Re: Recommendations for a resonant, deep bodied mandolin under 90

    Don't overlook a Mid-Missouri in good condition. They are virtually the same as Big Muddy--made by the same guy. Same quality build.

    Re: Yet another Thomastik-Infield string question

    +1 on the dEFW74's. They feel and sound great on my MT2. Seem to last a long time, too.

    This came with catnip filled toy fish. Cats loved it. I like this because it's large enough to hold all the picks I need and it's a little weird.
