Beautifully done! Very nice!

No wonder! That is a serious list!

And there’s this: https://youtu.be/HCG50Gk7KkA

You can slow YouTube videos down.

This is the only mandolin version I could find. https://youtu.be/ZXIYC1regGc

Here’s a place to start. https://thesession.org/tunes/387

Thank you! But I still cannot open my own file from here!

Lots of options, but I have been using Spire software (free!) and just the iPad mic. I have an external mic with a lightning connector if I want slightly better quality. 8 track capability, very few...

He never used his little finger even once (that I noticed)! :disbelief:

Ok, off-topic here, but I love that Quebecois footwork. Does anyone do that while playing mandolin? Maybe too hard to keep your picking hand accurate?

You sure that’s not the bass you’re hearing?

That’s not Blake’s March. It’s The Constitution March.

Did you mean Jenny Lind Polka? Try these:

Someone bought both of them. Done deal.

Nicely done!!! What secret?

I would never argue with MMarshall, but watch David Benedict or Sam Bush when they play. Looks like nothing but arm movement from the elbow. Very little wrist action at all.

Pick a tune (or tunes) you hope will sound great on the Ellis, work on it till it’s as good as possible, so you can compare and enjoy it on the Ellis. You want to be knocked out, right?

I’m enjoying a bunch of Chip’s YouTube videos. I’d like to contact him but can’t find any way on YT or here. Anyone know if he’s a member? Username?

“I've read several MC threads on light vs. medium gauge strings, resulting in no real conclusion as to what I should do.”

That is because YOU are the only one who can decide for yourself. You...

How deep are the bodies? They look cavernous!

My Weber Gallatin measures very close to 48mm at the bridge, perfect for me.

Mandolin Orange.

“I’m fairly new toadfish right now I am just figuring out what “specs” I like”

Toadfish?

The Eastman I had before this Weber was 21”. The Weber is 20”. I’m finding the Weber surprisingly easier to play. And the G string isn’t floppy at all.

Sorry, I missed your question. I’m not sure what I do regarding fingers/frets. Really. I play tunes as much the same way I play my mandolins (which I guess is two frets per finger?) as possible, then...

I can’t think of that many great things to say about turning 73, can you Peter? Having a little more disposable income is nice (no point in saving anymore). Finding ways to keep doing the things I...

The Eastman has a 21” scale, which was a bit long for me. The real juice came for me when I started to capo anywhere from the second to the fifth fret. I play alone, especially in these times, so the...
