  1. Re: MORGAN MONROE MMS-4FE F-style acoustic electric MANDOLIN

    As a further side note, I think any electric or electrified mandolin is gonna sound tinny without a pre-amp. Just something to factor in...

    Re: Oscar Schmidt Mandolins?

    My first mando was an Oscar Scmidt F-model. It was a great first instrument. While the tone was a bit thin and quiet, it played GREAT all the way up the neck, with near-perfect intonation.

    Re: Rest in Peace Jim Marshall

    For all the nights I cursed your name while humping my 200-watt stack out of CBGB'S at 3am, I apologize. If I'd really meant it, I'd have bought a Twin.

    Re: Bluegrass and hip hop?!

    Not a hip-hop fan here either, but I enjoyed that more than I thought I would.

    Very nice.
  6. Re: Cigar Box "Tenor" Guitar from St. Blues Guitars

    These are the inferior instruments made from Dominican cigar boxes. Although technically illegal, you can still find Cuban cigar box instruments out there. NFI.

    VERY cool.
  9. Re: Would've Thought The Majority Of Mando Players Here Were Blue

    Agreed. Thanks, Jim.

    The surprise in those stats, for me anyway, is the huge number if posts in the Classical, Medieval, Renaissance forum.

    Re: Old Mandolin Films

    Well, the Dave Appollon Films certainly pre-date this.
  12. Re: Oscar Schmidt OM40 F-Model Mandolin NEW

    This was my first mando. Little tone to speak of, but it played with fantastic action and intonation all the way up the neck. A great starter instrument.

    Re: I love my iPad, but...

    Amen. Many of these kids think they're actually making music. It's a quick bandaid on the itch to really make music, the same itch that brought so many of us so much joy, and, ultimately, to this...

    Re: A 1930s hybrid mandolin?

    Nothing new to add, but wanted to echo what a beauty that (first) mando is.

  16. Re: Where is the infamous Bill Monroe Picture holding his Band?

    Gentlemen, the photo in question is very real and in my possession.

    It's dated July 9, 1923, and is an unparalleled paragon of the photographic arts. Some say this is due to the emulsion used,...

    Re: My first mandolin.

    Very similar to, but nicer than, my first mandolin, a Dofra, bought in a Manhattan thrift shop. It was all the mando I needed for a few years. Did yeoman duty in two bands. Still have it. May...

    Re: Refusing to use an electronic tuner

    Nothing? The point is to play in tune, right?

    But we all seem to be in various stages of agreement: it's rude to both the audience and to your fellow players to take up time and interrupt the...

    Re: Desirability of 300-year old oak

    Sadly, it appears to my untrained eye that the fallen branch of the oak was cut into pieces far too small for use in instruments, floors, barrels, or anything else short of firewood.

    However, when...

    There's a thread somewhere here about that photo. Perhaps someone better at the "search" function than me can unearth it.

    Re: Refusing to use an electronic tuner

    I hate electric tuners.

    I have a good ear. When I played guitar for a living, I never used a tuner of any sort. I deferred to the natural tempering of the individual instrument and how it fit in...

    Another vote for the Mann. I'm not a 5-string electric kinda guy, but those things look sweet.

    Re: Desirability of 300-year old oak

    Yes, Earnest, my statement of the cross-section being two feet in diameter is referring to the fallen branch, not the base of the tree itself. And, Clark, I'll try to get a better pic of the pores...
