Thanks for the link.
I’m looking for recommendations for mando-centric music. Any style is good for me.
ok thanks. This was when Charlie Deerington was head luthier?
Howdy,
my FG5 (SN 01215030) was bought used by me a few years ago. I think this means it was built in 2005, right? I see a lot a people mention that their Gibson is signed by X Head Luthier. ...
congrats! I recently acquired a very similar one. Mine is with a lighter top and the pickguard was still on.
Hey y'all.. anyone playing anything for Oktoberfest this year?
According to his Mel Bay book, Jethro Burns seemed to be a big proponent of using and exercising the pinky.
When I took up playing Irish tenor banjo, I found out the hard way that it is imperative to use the pinky. In the style of fingering on the TB, the pinky basically becomes the ring finger for the...
Thanks for bringing this up...I was about to ask about it. I believe it was German Jewish immigrants who came to South Louisiana in the mid 1800s and brought along these accordions and sold them...
Is mandolin commonly encountered in Bavarian music?
I got a Martin C1K (Concert with koa) a few months ago. I really enjoy it as an instrument. It is their bottom of the line and made in Mexico, but its a very well built, simple instrument. The...
I think I come from equal parts Catholic and Lutheran Bavarian.
This has inspired me to go off of the deep end and get a pibgorn...
This may have been hit on in past.... With Oktoberfest just around the bend, does anyone here have any recommendations for Traditional Bavarian Music? I generally cant find any collection of tunes to...
I have the "Welsh Fiddle Tunes" by Sian Phillips mentioned around here. It has a nice collection of relatively simple tunes that can be played on mando. I for one would love to see more Welsh music...
wish you the best! I love my #68 I got back in December. It has truly changed my previous prejudice against the A/N style mandolin.
Hello to my fellow Mandolin lovers. I was wondering if anyone here could help suggest some good resources for learning Italian tunes for mandolin. I know there are a few put out my Mel Bay and I...
I agree... I had been in the "carved top is better" mindset for the longest time. I have a Weber Bitterroot and a Gibby F9. I was wanting something "lighter" so I went and got a Poe Scout. I must...
Thanks everyone for the input. I decided to go for the Poe Scout which had been in the classifieds. I hadnt really given them much thought but i was so impressed with the instruments at...
I was looking for a little more subdued sound that is usually desired in Celtic style. My currently mandos are a Weber Bitterroot F style and a Gibson F9. That Poe looks nice.
I guess I'm pretty late to the game. I was looking for a nice simple well made mandolin to use exclusively for Celtic music and the Weber Hyalite came to mind. I began to search for places that...
Anyone know where one might find this book?
Do bridges need to be "broken in"? I was just watching a video about Sharon Gilchrist talking about her Gilchrist mandolin where so had to replace the fretboard. She says it took about 6 months for...
Does anyone keep a practice journal? I don't, but I was wondering if it could help track progress.
