Thank you very much. I'm getting in pretty late on Tuesday, but Mulligans sounds like a good plan for Wednesday night. I'm supposed to be meeting up with some people on Thursday night & they may be...
I'll be in Amsterdam on Tuesday through Friday morning. A jam would be great, but any recommendations for great music venues would be appreciated too.
A Czech friend recommended this one to me: http://www.chn.cz/ko_komisni_prodej_detail.php?sid=b469cca16281e2e0c3604ee92b32daf6&vid=372
Another store to check out is Kieran Moloney:...
I'd like to hear from more people that have played these instruments or own them. https://youtu.be/jDzLYQJoG48
Does anyone on here use Ej75's or another brand with similar gauges? I want a beefier "A" string.....I currently use EJ74's on my Collings MT2 and I think the previous owner may have used a higher...
I used to own a Loar 600 and it was a great mandolin. The only reason I sold it was because I moved up to a Collings MT2. The guy that bought mine had just sold his Gibson A9 because he wasn't...

I bought a used Collings MT2 from The MandoShop last year and it was a mostly positive experience. I'm loacted in France and had the mandolin shipped to my sister in Tennessee. The mandolin was...
I would just say to play before buying. I sold my the Loar 600VS a couple of weeks ago since it wasn't getting played. The guy that bought my mandolin is a professional musician, guitar, & had...

I know this is an old thread, but I just got tickets for a show they are playing on November 7th. I'm pretty excited because I've never seen Chris Thile live. I hope he brings a Loar!...
I've been using Tabledit portable for the last several years which can be found here http://portableappz.blogspot.fr/2014/01/tabledit-274-multilingual.html I was using an older version for the...
I've been using Bluechips for a few years now. I didn't like the idea of spending that kind of money on a pick either, so I received my first one as a Birthday present, the second one as a Christmas...
I could just ignore this, but I won't :redface: I was mainly the dobro player in that band up until I had a freak accident trying to help a friend get a clothes line pole out of the ground. I tried...
I used to play in a bluegrass band based out of Asheville, NC several years ago when I was living in Johnson City, Tn which was about an hour away or so. We'd practice once a week and in addition to...
I haven't ever bought mandolins as investments, but I have done okay with guitars. I moved to France from the U.S. back in 2002 and brought over my two Gibson acoustics. I wanted to change to Martin...
I finally picked up my MT2 a few weeks ago and played with my regular picking partner for the first time with it today. I expected it to be better than my 600VS, but not this much better. The one I...
I've never played a Michael Kelly, but I did buy a The Loar 600VS from Folk Musician a few years back. I live in France & had the 600VS shipped to a friend in North Carolina who then flew over with...
Your best bet for a good deal is to buy directly from someone. I've bought and sold through zikinf.com several times and never had problems....... there are several for sale on that site right now....
If you were in Paris last weekend, I hope you didn't miss out on the Tony Rice Benefit Concert at La Maroquinerie. You couldn't shake a stick without hitting a mandolinist! Jefferson Louvat was there...
I've lived in three of the places mentioned so far. I grew up in Asheville, NC (from 10 months to 24 years old), spent 5 years in Johnson City, TN & 2 years in Nashville until moving to France right...
I don't have Finale, but are you able to print from that program? If so,try this: http://www.dopdf.com/
I use it to make pdf files from tabledit and it works like a charm.
I recently discovered a free music player called SMPlayer and it does this. You can also setup a point A and a point B in order to focus on one part of a song. Another good feature is that the...
I started out in the 6th grade playing drums and bells. I had about six months of reading musical notation that involved notes before moving to another school that didn't even have band since it was...
