Should note that I'm currently playing a gretsch new yorker. Guessing the scale is roughly close to the same (?)

Liking this a lot. Too good to be true? TIA

Thanks so much for the prompt replies! I think I'm gonna pass on it. Be fun to have a bowlback to play around with, but my gut was telling me the same as most of you have indicated. I'll keep...

"Professional" Bowlback Mandolin, excellent condition, brought back from Greece years ago, never used. $80

I certainly don't expect this to be a hidden treasure but can anybody id it and tell me...

So I've been working through the Complete Mandolin Method books that I'm fortunate to be able to borrow from my local library. 7 months in and I've finished Beginner and Intermediate books, and just...

Wow, was not aware of that. Thanks!

It's in Middleton (North Shore-ish). I have DMed the info to you, and am happy to share it publicly, provided that is acceptable in this forum.

As a matter of fact, I will be attending my very first jam this weekend! I'm very excited to play with others and see what I'm able to do and what I will need to work on. It's a monthly thing but...

Touché.

Putting in a bit of practice/playing last evening, i had played earlier in the day but as I was running through some stuff I found myself quite discouraged by what I heard. My picking and fretting...

+1 for the NYer. I have a 9320, got her cheap and I love her to death. More than enough to keep me busy for a long time, while I save those pennies. Enjoy!

I think I will go the diy route. They're not critical parts, so I can just keep on playing while I get em done, and I've got a few savvy friends who could help me out. The work will mean more to me...

I have a Gretsch New Yorker that I got for very short money on Craigslist and I love it as my starter mando, but it is missin the truss rod cover and pickguard. I would like to make the small...

Second this. I'm currently halfway through the intermediate book, and I really think that I've gotten a well-rounded introduction to styles, technique and genres. And since I got it through my local...

As a matter of fact, I have a mandolin banjo as well! I don't know why but in my mind it's more mando than banjo (could be the short neck). I inherited it from my grandmother, and it's what started...

Interesting, I've found myself wanting to get my hands on a banjo as well. I'm trying to resist, as I've only been playing mando for a few months and I'm afraid the novelty of a new instrument might...

Welcome! Great looking stuff!

Is there such a vibrant support group for (electric(!)) bass guitar to mandolin converts? If so, that is what I will tell my family I'm thankful for tomorrow at dinner.

I *love* the rich, resonant...

If I recall correctly, Levon claims in the doc that the down-home sound you find on "Cripple Creek" and others was something he alone brought to Robbie and by extension the Band. Of course that...

Hello! Make yourself at home!

Tanto bellisimo!

Just wanted to say that I've just found myself in the very same situation as Brandon, working through the same book, and hit the same brick wall re: Chapter 5: Bluegrass. I was very discouraged about...

Hello to all,
After some time skulking in the shadows of this wonderful forum I've decided to step forward and be recognized. Pretty much brand new to mandolin, played bass and six-string for nearly...
