That Heiden is part of your superpower, Don. Use it for good!

Time for new frets and a good set-up. I will appreciate recommendations from recent experience.

Really nice, Don. Great tune, and I enjoyed the pictures as well.

That Stanley sounds fine. Good picking too, Don.

Thanks Shaun. I've got a guitar box I could cut down but I'm a bit nervous about how a damages claim would be treated if the box was cut down. I had a UPS guy warn me that they are picky about...

I need to find a sturdy box that is a good size for shipping a mandolin in a Calton case. Any helpful advice will be greatly appreciated.

I've been watching and really enjoying these. Mike is so talented and so down to earth.

Another possibility is this song, written by John Denver and performed by Hot Rize.

I have noticed a slight intonation issue with my mandolin. May be a set-up thing but I thought perhaps you folks would have some ideas. With the mandolin in tune, the G string at the 7th fret is...

My Stan Miller is a fantastic A model. Coming up on 10 years old and it still delights every time I play it.177675177676177677

Hi folks,
I've been using Wegan M150 picks for years. Great feel, tone, durability, and the perfect shape and bevel for my playing. I love most everything about them EXCEPT that they can slip...

Congrats on the new mando, WSU. I played that one a while back, and again a couple more times during visits to Dusty Strings. Each time I returned I was amazed to find it still there - it was...

I have experienced the exact same cramping or "lock" of my index finger many times. It tends to happen when I have been playing a lot, like in the later part of a gig. It happens more if I am...

I used to own an MT2 but sadly traded it away during an irrational bout of MAS. I have an MT right now which is a terrific mandolin, but I wish I could have that MT2 back.
The player is surely...

I second the recommendation of Dusty Strings. There repair shop does good work. I've had them do minor set-up on a couple of mandolins, as well as more major work on both mandos and guitars. You...

What a great column. Thanks for sharing this, Ted.

Rick,

I don't have a Daley but a friend has a wonderful A model that I love to hear at the occasional jam. If it is representative of other Daleys you've got a couple of fine mandolins.

JD, I believe we were in a jam together at Wintergrass this past Feb. Your Clark mando sounded terrific.

Red7flag, Stan's website still mentions rosewood as an option for back and sides. I'm not sure if he is taking orders right now but if you are looking for a builder I think he should be on your...

I have played a Stan Miller F with rosewood back and sides that was awesome. Check out Reischman playing a Stan Miller rosewood mandola on the Harmonic Tone Revealers recording. I really like the...

A little video of my band Stillwater Hill doing Dark Hollow. I especially like the espresso machine around 2:00.
