    Re: Present - Capo for Mandoline

    I bought the same planet waves (mine came stamped as D'addario brand) that Steve linked to - it's great, very small and unobtrusive. However I'm finding that so far I never need a capo :) It comes...

    Re: Metronome practice tips?

    I don't practice Bach specifically so I can't answer for the particular pieces you're asking about (I always thought Bach was supposed to be pretty locked like clockwork to the metronome though).

    Re: Pick chioces.

    I've got somewhat big hands and fat fingers and I just cannot get comfortable with a small or normal sized pick - I really like the triangles. I've tried several and the one I am just loving right...

    Re: Are they really worth it?

  17. Re: Everything you always wanted to know about Capos*

    Back in the 50's-60's, growing up on a farm far from any city or music store, when I needed to capo my baritone uke I used a short pencil and rubber bands. Did the job just fine.

    I ordered a mando from Amazon last month at a "too good to be true price" they never sent me anything and cancelled the order. But I hope yours turns out better than mine.
