I have had a Harrison Strap for the last few years and it's the best strap I have ever used in my 41 years of mandolin picking! I heartily recommend one for any F-Style player!!
I had the privilege to play a Monteleone Grand Artist recently. It was a beauty that sounded great also!
I highly recommend Harrison Straps in Woodlawn Va. (Near Galax). He customizes them to your size and personalizes them with your name on the strap if desired. Try it, you might like it! I'm betting...
IMHO - until D'addario makes the XS strings in a heavier gauge, I will continue using XT's 11.5 - 41 on my '99 Flatiron Festival F.
I highly recommend Harrison Straps from Woodlawn, Va.

Hands down the best strap I've used in 40 + years of mandolin playing.
I prefer to keep my hand closed but not clenched like making a fist or anything. I can't imagine having the same control if I let my fingers hang down. However, there are some great players who don't...
Can I get that on a t-shirt?
On his original tune (Wyatt's original), I'm sure he plays lead. It sounds like he's playing lead on several other cuts also.
They definitely have the 11.5 gauge. I recently bought a custom set 11.5 16 26 41. My experience may not be typical, but they sounded great when I first put them on my '99 Flatiron Festival F, but...
Check out The Churchmen if you haven't already. They have been together for 30 + years and still tour and record.
I would HIGHLY recommend Harrison Straps in Woodlawn, Va. Ronny Harrison is an expert at making straps that are very cool in appearance and super functional!
This tune can be a handful. I've been "learning it" for several decades. Recently with the extra down time due to the pandemic/quarantine, I have had more actual practice time and feel like it's...
Here's a great video:

Copy into your browser if you can. It's a great version by Ralph Carr. He starts out with it at an uptempo speed then slows way...
I have tried one set of the XT75 strings. The gauge is the same as my favorite EXP75 : .0115 - .016 - .026 - .041 The feel was a little different almost a flatwound feel compared to the EXP's. The...
Thanks for the great info! You folks are pretty sharp!
There are at least 2 additional versions recorded of this song:
1. CD titled "Cullen & Mickey Galyean & Friends" (no label)
2. CD titled "Born Into Bluegrass: The Songs Of Cullen Galyean" (on...
My strings are med/heavy gauge .0115 - .016 - .026 - .041.
How much larger than the string size should the string slots be in the nut of a mandolin?
"F# B E A, played on frets 11 - 9 - 7 - 5 and see how the same chord sounds in 4ths."
Exactly what I have been playing. Great suggestions on the names. I'll apply if necessary dependent on the...
Ah, perspective makes all the difference. Nice. Theoretically it could be used in a certain context labeled as one chord and something else in another.
That makes sense. Try playing it and see what you think of the sound. I like tinkering with jazzy sounding stuff and find places to use it. It helps keep it interesting I guess.
Can anyone name this chord - A E B F# (1st - 4th strings)?
I have used the chord but don't know what it is actually called. It almost seems like A9 maybe? Not sure what difference the F# makes.

It works on my Flatiron! It made quite a noticeable difference in volume for me. Thanks to TG peeps!
