This is a used Eastman I traded for which I got in the mail today. I'm still working on the action a bit. There is a pretty noticeable bow in the neck. I adjusted the truss rod relief a bit but...

Update! The Mix Mandolin has been evaluated by a couple of luthiers at Dusty Strings and as Peter Mix predicted, the neck is straight. Only a minor adjustment is necessary. Thank you to J. Condino...

A different take on it.

Don, I built this one. You like? Here's another one of mine...

I like to play it there because you can hit the open E at the same time and double. It sounds especially nice when you slide into the A-string E and do that.

I recorded the Siciliano from the G minor Partita for Solo Violin about this time last year! I've been hunkering down during my time off right now and learning the B minor Sonata in its entirety,...

I used my Grace Design Felix on 10mOhm for a while before I realized there was a switch on the back, it didn’t effect anything I could hear. Ymmv

Here's my take on it as a former navy electronics tech who dealt with a few signal attenuation problems due to improper impedance matching issues:

While I'm at it here's another video when I did a guest appearance with Peter Rowan and the Tony Rice Unit to play "New Camptown Races" when they played at The Egg Albany NY on April 6, 2008. Tony...

I'm an old fart, I remember when Roy Clark was honored as Entertainer of the Year, and for good reason. I study his work from time to time, or rather, I watch videos. Buck Owens was no slouch either,...

Here's the tag from the home page:

Are the uke, banjo, and mandolin families going through an identity crisis, or are more Darwinian forces at work?

I inadvertently skipped the word 'identity'....

This was the bestest/funniest thing I've seen in years...and that includes when I look at myself in the mirror in the morning--nekked

There is a cameo with The Steep Canyon Rangers and some...

Beautiful playing, Perry.

I'm glad the rest of us don't feel that way about sharing knowledge :confused:

What have you been doing with your 22k posts?

Just got mine to do something similar. Am wondering if it's reading a harmonic instead of the fundamental note?
FWIW, am using mine in the strobe setting. I like it a bit better than the regular...

Battery good??
