That's fair. I'm still playing around with the CGDA tuning, maybe by the time I get arround to actually changing the strings I'll want to make the trip anyway.

I just got a Harley Benton CLT-20S tenor as my first acoustic tenor guitar (I got an electric Eastwood last year). For the price, I have no complaints. It resonates quite nicely.
....but of course...
Judging by the design - holes, tail piece, shape of the waist, the fact it has five strings at the bridge despite 4 tuning pegs - I might have guessed viol or cello. There also appears to be a bow...
I'd say not necessarily for the previously stated reasons. For example, I could envision a scenario where you play them individually and "ooh, this one has a kind of nice zing to it that I like, the...
I think this would give me a little information about the sound of each string, but the problem with this for me is that it's a very "artificial" test. You'd have to listen to single strings at a...
Ooh, that's really lovely looking! I'd love to hear what it sounds like.
Another ELS owner. I've described it as the one thing I'd quickly grab in a fire. Such a wonderful little instrument. It just looks, sounds, and plays awesome, and it turned a growing...
Nice to hear from someone in the area. I think the fact that my apartment is really not airtight may indeed be my biggest issue. I can't really modify things too much because I rent, though maybe I...
I live in Maryland and in the winter the humidity would drop to 20-some percent at worst, so I bought a small humidifier, which wasn't too cheap and should have worked for my studio apartment (no...
I really liked this video (now a series) and my only critique was I wish he'd kept a clean tone throughout and used EQ to see some actual numbers vs. "how's this sound to you" (since placebo and...
Long ago I played mostly second violin in a violin group. Now I play almost exclusively for myself.
For as long as I've played mandolin my role has been "bedroom musician unsuccessfully trying to...
I have a JBovier ELS (4 string solidbody mandolin). Recently I've noticed that the tone knob is kind of a flat "very bright" for about 3/4 of a rotation, and then is just "very dark" for the last...
I had almost convinced myself to buy an sm57, and have only found out about the beta57 from this thread. ..... now I'm undecided about my next mic purchase again
You guys continue to impress me, thanks for all the cool info!
This is probably a long shot, but there's a picture of one of my father's aunts playnig the mandolin and I'd be interested to know if it's at all identifiable (I think you can click the picture to...
Apologies if I struck a collective nerve, it would seem I didn't do my research of past discussions on the topic well enough. Though I appreciate all the replies and the sense of humor.
I've been playing a solid 11 years or something, so I feel a bit silly asking.
In my head I tell myself that if I squint hard enough I can roughly see the shape of the letter A or F (this one less...
If you could be a bit more specific as to what sort of thing you are looking for, we could maybe point you in more specific directions? Like, is there a particular song or genre you're looking for,...
I'd second pretty much all of this, even though my violin is nothing fancy. Though violin is probably still my "primary" instrument.
That, and many years ago I may or may not have broken a violin...
Nope.
I play "whatever", including classical, bluegrass, jazz (badly, working on it), rock, and whatever else I make up.
I've just received my copy, thanks!
It looks like this was designed for mic stands - is you mandolin fully hanging from it, or is the bottom resting on the floor?
In any case, thanks for the replies everyone. I suppose I could...
Thanks, I hadn't heard of this. Have you found you can hang an acoustic mandolin from it with no problem? ...I also have a feeling my electric may be too heavy for it, but I can always just get one...
I recently moved into a new place and have been setting up my desk/"studio" area. I thought it'd be really neat to have some kind of clamp hanger so I could hang my mandolins off my desk for quick...
Thanks for the replies and ideas!
That is the one I mean. Are there standard words for differentiating the two strings in a course?
Only the 11th fret doesn't really fret true (and only...
