What part of Ontario are you in? Brian Dubbledam does great work in Ottawa
The bluegrass club I'm part of up here in Edmonton, Canada hosts a workshop every fall. The downside of the pandemic is that we can't have an in-person workshop but the upside is people can join in...
I’ve used a tone bone PZ pre and liked it. You can’t EQ the instruments separately which can be a drag but if you know your instruments you can adjust quickly or leave it up to the front of house....
It seems like a no-brainer that stores should put new strings on instruments so they sound better so people want to buy them, but it doesn’t work out that way. Every set of strings you add eats into...
I’ll second this. Only gigged with it once so far but it handled a banjo and mandolin excellently.
If someone wants to skip their break, their turn to lead a song, or sit out from playing for a while let them. I’ve been to jams that are too sensitive about including everyone equally, so they end...
Could also be a low nut or your E and A strings may have worn down their nut slots. This would reduce the clearance between the strings and the second fret when you’re noting the first fret. Sort of...
I second DougC’s comment about Larrivees. I bought a D03R ten years ago thinking I’d end up getting something nicer down the line but the guitar just keeps sounding better and better.
Another...
Agreed
I often forget that Ricky Skaggs is a really great mandolin player and then some JD Crowe and the New South comes up on YouTube or Boone Creek pops up on Spotify or he shows up in my town. Not my...
It took a long time to realize that 30 minutes everyday is worth so much more than a three hour session once a week.
Whether something infringes on someone's copyright is also dependent on Fair Use (or Fair Dealing here in Canada). The creator of a work has the right to copy a work (copyright) but everyone has the...
Copyright is automatically granted to the creator of a work as soon as the work is created. There are myths around this like that if you send a copy of something through the mail that somehow does...
I would say the film had a big impact on people who are now in their late 20s and early 30s. I know because that's how old I am and the soundtrack still comes up in conversation.
When I worked at...
This was the best thread in a while.
I saw the movie and was kind of disappointed but I couldn't stop thinking about the movie after which is a good sign, I think. I think our expectations were...
I don't think there's any need to blame Sam Bush in this situation. He's not the sound guy afterall. It seems like almost every venue I go to has the music too loud. It's usually based on the sound...
Apple stuff is pretty locked down which can be annoying but it's also why so much of it lasts so long (iPhone batteries excluded). I have had a few Apple products and have been impressed with how...
The people on the cafe are awesome. They really are kind and helpful. Nobody knows everything but together this community will find an answer for any question and any person. Whether that person...
When I worked at a music shop I used to talk to a lot of professional musicians and I can sort of understand what the violin shop owner was saying, but it's a surface thing.
Most people don't like...
If you are one of those people with really corrosive sweat, don't bother with coated strings. The sweat will eat right through the coating and you'll just be paying more money for strings that way....
I don't know about his work on mandolins, but I know Gord at the Kingston Guitar Shop does good work on guitars, but would only recommend that if you're significantly closer to Kingston than Ottawa....
I think people who brought food into the mix are on the right track. I don't think Franzen is saying that music doesn't have rich content, just that it isn't the content he wants. I cannot fathom...
Think you might have the last few words wrong. Might it be:
THE BONNIE BLUE BONNETS
Blaring trumpets sounded far
Horseman wore their gear for war
English came up tae Dunbar
Upon the misty...
The best Canadian music collection (in my experience) are those collected by Edith Fowke or Helen Creighton. Folk Songs of Canada (ed. Edith Fowke) has a few different tunes about Louis Riel.

I am the owner of Mike's #27. It's an F-style mando with a finish I can't really describe. I tried to research Shawnee Creek as much as I could and couldn't get much. I decided to take the chance....
