Martin, yes, I remember reading that, and I looked at the 16 Horsepower one, too (but I liked yours better :) )
I enjoyed that "Soldier's Joy" as well. Lovely instrument, visually and aurally ...

I'm just happy his case is suitable for feline comfort >^..^<

Today I had two picks in my (front) pocket. I put my keys in the same pocket at some point, and when I got home, one of the picks was gone. Luckily it was not an expensive one, just a misc. one that...

That was so cool. These young women have so much talent, and they were having so much fun!

I guess if someone has alot more experience than me, I'll try it their way. Later on, I might change my mind. But in the meantime, I might learn something.

I have never tried playing standing up....

It's just a joke, man. Lighten up.
Life's too short.

Yah, who the heck wants to be compared to a duck! :))

Will you share? I'd love to learn to play those songs :mandosmiley:

I kind of like it. :cool:
Especially the chicken (if that's what it is).

Those are some fun songs you are working on. Are you figuring out the Eagles music by ear, did you already know it, or do you have music?

Old Joe Clark
Liberty (mandolin and mandola)
Leaving on A Jet Plane
In Heaven There is No Beer! (banjo mandolin)

So it was four to one, thumbs up for your mando playing. Not bad :)

Awesome for you, Sherry!

Also, is all lacquer finish the same? Anything sprayed on a scrap of wood is different in some ways, I would think, than something that has been on a mandolin for decades. After reading this...

That's very interesting about the leather. What happened, and how long did it take to manifest? I have a leather strap on this mandolin, and presently it is tied under the fretboard extension.

Thank you, that's very helpful. The armrest I'm looking at uses cork and leather as padding.

How do you know what kind of finish you have on an older mandolin, and how vulnerable it is to damage? I'm talking specifically here about my Strad-O-Lin. I'm considering getting an armrest for it...

I didn't watch that one, either. :disbelief:

Is that the one in your 2012 video of "Sinnerman"? I love that instrument and I love that video. I found it very early in my mando life and was very inspired by it.

Musical Saw! How does one play music on a saw!?!

Yes, the personal feedback is key, despite the delay factor. In my last video, I showed Mike my mandola, and he said, "Cool! Let's hear that, too!"

I think if I had the budget and time, and wasn't kind of (actually, very) apprehensive about live video lessons, I would go with Wayne Benson. I read in the blog of the late Dr. Tom Bibey (just heard...

So Vista Print sells 11x17 posters, qty 50 just over $1 apiece. You could have a winner there, Jim.

I wouldn't sell anything expensive on Ebay. Expensive means more than, say $50, or anything you can't afford to lose. It's easy to get ripped off on both ends. 'Nuff said.

I guess it might depend on how much of a hard core lepidopterist one is :)
I just think they look really cool and never saw so many different ones in one place before!

There will probably be group lessons available again in not too long. I think this could be a pretty fun way to learn.
