As they say, "well, he's not wrong". (Yes, I'm quite confident that it's a "he".) Some folks just don't do constructive criticism well. What the person should have said was, "hey, great song(s) you...

Mmm, I can't say I'm even 100% sure what that means. I've used tab for both guitar and mandolin, and it's equally useful for both. I mean, it's effectively paint-by-numbers on strings. "Place finger...
Might I humbly suggest a sticky in the support sub-forum? If there's a "recommended" way to insert videos that has been recommended "for years", I've yet to cast my gaze upon it. Not that I've ever...
Dude, I've barely had time to play it, let alone take pictures. :) I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Sun ought to be out, I'll take some with good lighting.
Not immediately obvious, but if it’s like every other Rover I’ve seen, the tailpiece cover slide toward the bottom, end pin direction, of the instrument. It might seem like it’s stuck, but it’s not....
My 606 showed up on Thursday, just in time for my father to drop by somewhat unannounced (which is why I didn't get to go to Darrington). So I've only got a few hours at best on the new acquisition....
I’ve known people that own an expensive Harley but live in a trailer. Cared about owning a Harley more than he cared about a nice house. I’m down with that, it’s not my place to prioritize the lives...
Thanks, mandolinstew, “better than the MK” is all I needed to hear, because that’s all it needs to do: be a better festival mandolin. Now if that wagon train to Seattle that’s carrying mine would...
Depends on whether or not other $10 tuners provide a lifetime of service. In the late 70s American car makers asked a similar question: “do you really expect a $4000 car to provide a lifetime of...
This board is rife with such discussions, and I think it’s a personal thing (look at how many have said they actually like Snarks), but in no particular order:
TC PolyTune clip in strobe mode. Has...
I’d spend that effort researching a better tuner that I don’t have to field repair.
Personally, I like the more expensive PolyTune clip, but I keep a Planet Waves/d’addario micro in every...
I’d be really surprised if the cafe did anything other than pull the text from the original post, wraps it QUOTE tags, and throws it in text box. IOW, once you hit “reply”, what you’re quoting is...
FedEx says Thursday, juuuuust in time for the Darrington festival. Assuming the setup is even close to usable, he’ll make his debut at the jam circle. :mandosmiley:
Hmm, some kind of time limit on...
Mine's shipping, too. With you in NY and me waay out here Seattle, I guess you can tell me how yours is while I wait for UPS. :)
For sideways and upside-down pictures that look good on your computer then get turned once they're uploaded, here is my working theory and potential fix. I might be wrong, but until someone that...
The one with the thinner finish must be from a new batch, as the one with the more opaque finish has been there a while. And, wow, were I given the choice I hope mine comes with the new finish. The...
After taking it out of the box, I strummed two chords and thought to myself, "forget the file, I'm going to need an angle grinder if I'm going to grind that nut to height in a reasonable amount of...
I just knew it was a solid investment. At that rate of return, think how much it will be worth in ten years! They're not making any more of them, folks!
Hopefully the 606 I ordered back in May shows up before yours, and I beat you to the review. :) (I really don’t care who gets what first, but that window for “June shipment” has come and gone, and...
There's also the Seattle area BG Meet up page: https://www.meetup.com/seattlebluegrass/
A few more folks on the Eastside and we can start a jam for those that get tired of driving to Seattle. 😀

Those are old. D'Addario hasn't used that packaging in at least six months. The new one looks like this: 158825
Yup, this coming Wednesday as a matter of fact.
But then you go on to describe how the Polytune is superior to less expensive tuners, and you bought one. Sounds like it's priced about right to me.
Rather than "overpriced", I think the phrase...
If you just want quick-and-dirty, use the Voice Memos app that (I believe) is built-in. That, or it's a free download from Apple. It's just a voice recorder, no multitrack or anything like that. Good...
That's only useful if one can find those threads. Personally, I haven't had much success with the site search functionality. For instance, try and get a single hit with the string "KM-606". Try as I...
