almeriastrings, I've been considering a new Northfield and really need to get out and try a couple. Curious how you compare it to your Silverangel. I have two Silverangel's and love their tone. Would...

Rob, Thanks for the kind words! It was just a couple days old when I posted that video. Strings weren't even broke in. It came with J74's which I really don't care for. Gonna have to put on some GHS...

Jim,
I am the proud new owner of Buckeye #64. I agree words alone cannot describe this mandolin and my satisfaction with it. I'm really just getting to know her and enjoying every minute of it....

Thanks, I have your site bookmarked. Some really great recordings there. I visit often.
Much appreciated!

I always buy from this guy off ebay. Great straps by the way!

Tom, I'm with you regarding Bluegrass in Branson. I live in the surrounding Branson area and would love to see more bluegrass in our area. Maybe not right in Branson but in the surrounding area, say...

Barbara,
Lonesome Midnight Waltz? Did you mean Lonesome Moonlight Waltz by Bill Monroe. I think so.

Jimmy Campbell "Young Opry Fiddler" and "Pieces of Time"

Great CD's with Bill Monroe and Mike Compton.

Shotgunwillie, If your still opting for an american made mandolin which I admire you might try looking up Bernard Allen from Naylor, MO. I had a custom made F style mandolin made several years back...

What, not a bluegrass choice this week!

kalenh, I second Johnny Mandolin. Give Dave a call at High Strung Music Store and set up lessons with Jeremy Chapman. I've been taking lessons with him for the past few years and he's a great...

I Played a bunch of Eastmans at SPBGMA last year and was not impressed with any of them. I played a bunch of JBoviers on the other hand and was impressed with all of them. Just my opinion but for the...

Bernie,
I've tried the Wegens, Proplecs, V Picks, and everything else I could get my hands on and I'm sold on Dunlop Ultex 1.14 picks. Best sounding pick out there for me.

At least they stand behind their products and address problems. Try to get a replacement with an Intelli Tuner. I received my replacement PT10 and I'm good to go. No Buzzing. Looks like they changed...

Update,
I received a return email and they will exchange my buzzing tuner with a new non-buzzing tuner. This makes me very happy and reassures my feeling regarding Onboard Reseach Corp. Great...

I must have received one of those first-production-run tuners. Mine has a very annoying buzz that can be easily heard over mandolin. This is why I've never cared for Intelli tuners. But those are...

"There isn't a grass tune in there"??????????:disbelief:

Evening Prayer Blues, Ashland Breakdown, Old Mountaineer, and Tanyards were all written by Bill Monroe. What about Big Indian Blues and...

Dan,
Your right, that's an incredible version. Bill is awesome on this one! I own this CD and it's been so long since I've listened to it I didn't even realize "Memories Of You" was on it. Thanks to...

I emailed Mike Compton regarding this and f5loar you are correct. Only the G strings are tuned to F#/A and the rest are standard tuning. I also asked about tablature which he replied "I don't have it...

I originally considered sending back my PT 1 in exchange for the new PT 10 and USPS Priority would have been just under $6 to send. I decided to just hang on it and purchase the PT 10 outright. I...

I had the same problem with my PT 1 and I changed batteries and it works fine now so give that a try. I did buy the new Sabine Zoid clip on and I'm not overly impressed with it. It gives false...

Thanks for clearing this up. I had gotten off track a little. When you gave me the first clue I immediately went to mandozine to look up "Get Up John" and the only version on there was a Skaggs...

Thanks! I'll give it a try. This is my favorite Bill tune at the moment. I'd still like to find any tablature out there to help me along. I have a hard time trying to figure this stuff out without...
