    Re: Mark is back

    Fantastic playing by Mark, super expressive range of technique and musicality!

    But whoever did the camera editing on this video should be fired, IMO. Very distracting from the performance.

    Re: Sight read tab?

    Good point, Louise. That's likely why when I play any fretted instrument, I'm barely conscious of the location of a given note in terms of what numbered fret it happens to be on. Because I started...

    Re: more accurate clip on tuner than Snark?

    I like the micro-tuners' unobtrusiveness as well on some of my nylon-strung instruments which go out of tune more easily. But I just toss out the clip and nip off the part that it attaches to, and...

    Re: Sight read tab?

    "Reading" and "sight reading" in terms of music are often conflated, but they are not the same thing. Sight reading is reading at tempo. So, "sight reading at tempo" is therefore a redundancy. ...

    Re: Question for flat top players

    My flat tops, mandolin & mandolas alike (incl. Sawchyn) are all strung with Thomastiks; but what else is new? They should pay me for all my endorsements on here. :))

    My heart goes out to the people on the west coast and the nightmare they're experiencing. How horrendous! With due respect, though, I don't think you should put hurricanes in the same category. ...

    Re: Mark O'Connor Little Maggie on Mandocello

    Nice! I'm sure it's because I don't get around enough, but that's the first time I've heard and seen anyone sing and play fiddle simultaneously. Whew!

    Re: Mandocello Envy

    Thank you all for the kind comments!

    Because I lacked anything in this voicing and was drawn to the lower tones, I wanted this for the solitary pursuits of playing alone and helping me in...

    Re: Mandocello Envy

    Yeah, with those things, I always ditch the silly clip, lop off the nub it attaches to, and just use my trusty double-sided foam tape. Makes it too much of a pain to remove for photos, though, ;)

    Here is a video. This piece was inspired by the Mandocello-thing, and started out as something I made up to help accustom myself to picking accurately across five strings; like an etude, if you...

    Re: Why do you like the picks you like?

    3 or 4mm Gravity picks, acrylic polished bevel Stealth triangular. Easiest playing, least noise. Would prefer bare fingers, but these will do.

    Re: how often do you refill your humidifier?

    I don't dare get a humidifier - it would probably try to fill itself! (we have dehumidifiers)
