Thanks for all the ideas. I knew there were several possibilities but was not sure what worked and what didn't. The best solution probably will depend on each mandolin and strap variations. I will...
I had an experience a while back that was pretty devastating. I Had my Red Diamond F style on my shoulder and bent over to pick up something on the desk. As I did so the headstock pointed downward...

Because of confinement I found this tune in list of things that I had put aside 20 years ago to learn. Still trying, but fun to work on.
While being confined to home I resurrected this tune that I had worked on 20 years ago. Still trying to get it right, but a fun tune to play

Sorry Mike ... I have repressed those years.
I feel your pain Mike, having fought this addiction for years without success. However some observations I have made:
1. While it can create financial stress, family conflict, loss of sleep,...
Nice sounding Red Diamond, especially in his hands.
Don Macrostie who builds the Red Diamonds has worked at reproducing the sound of the Loar era instruments. He took 3 specific well-known mandolins and studied them in detail to try and obtain their...
This is my effort at playing Joy to the World on my Red Diamond Osborne replica and Taylor guitar. Recorded with Tascam-40 using Rode nt1 mic. This my first try at overdubbing using Audacity...
Morgan Music in Lebanon, Missouri (on I-44 between St. Louis and Springfield). Good selection of several top Mandolin products and, I believe, the only distributor of Red Diamonds. Good folks to...
Thanks for the tip Bill. I will try that next time.
Thanks for posting the video Bill. Probably one of the best quality videos I have seen posted. Beautiful picture and sound, (subject matter also fine). What were you using to record this?
Yes, I own a replica of Bobby Osborne's 25 fern, and couldn't be happier with it. There have been several questions posted about owning several mandolins vs. one great one, and my RD has answered...
Many older people have significant higher frequency hearing loss and cannot hear those notes much above 12th fret on the E string anyway.
The list is probably limited only by the skill of the player, as Sam Bush often demonstrates...ie. "Brilliancy"
make mine Wayne Shelton please
I attended a mandolin course in Nashville with Butch Baldassari about 20 years ago. There were 14 of us in the course and we discovered that 6 of us were physicians who found their way there from...
Too good of a deal to pass up. Love to give on a try.
Thats a beautiful instrument..I have been impressed with the workmanship and sound from Mowrys. Suspect we will be seeing more of them in the future.
What mandolin is being played in the clip? Beautiful tone!
Banjos don't kill...people do!
I have enjoyed this and most threads a great deal, however I find it very interesting to see how our perception of reality is colored by our own experiences.. often, I suspect, based on where we...
To finally be able to play Brilliancy as well as Sam....a worthy goal I think.
I have used super glue many times for surgical repairs....not approved for that use but used regularly in emergency rooms etc.. I am not aware of complications from its use, especially in a small...
