MK: Send one of these to Don. He will set it up and donate it to Mandolin Cafe who will then name it "The Traveler" and send it to people on a list (who have signed up). Those receiving "The...

The mandolin hasn't yet found a home, but it will soon.

Special thanks to member pickloser, whose 'Guide To Double Stops And Repeating Patterns'

I can second that thought. Putting memorable words to chord fingerings made beginning so easy. It...

And the Sampler 2 pack is on its way to James. In a small bag I put a button I ground to use as a pick. It is terrible, scratchy. I thought it would be good to have one bad one in the group.

Thank you for responding. You cannot imagine how tired my wife is of hearing the Theme from Godfather. That is the only tune I know with tremolo so that is the tune I use to evaluate picks.

After the third time through all the picks, I've narrowed it down to these two. The V pick has its name on it, the other one does not. Can someone identify the white one with the holes,...

So we have the generation 1 of MK mandolins. In the car world, those are the most desired. And I have to believe, this thread will help MK understand what should be addressed. And of course, we...

Why a pick guard? Do you put a pinky on it while picking or is there a chance of hitting the table when strumming? One of the pics shows my arm rest. It's pretty small cause my arm doesn't move...

In this case it's the ear that's beholding. And yes they worked,,so much so that I had to play quieter or I would have been heard. The back plate felt good. I was worried that it would cause the...

Yes I thought the stubbies felt secure, comfortable and loud. Notice that I also liked the giant red triangle, which surprised me. But again, what do they feel like after 4 hours of playing? We...

And look at the pick sampler thread. Try it,,you'll like it.

Sampler 2 arrived (Thanks Stompbox). At first I was pulling my hair out. The picks did not match the list. That is until I looked and saw that I had Sampler One list. ...

I had a little time before the jam session tonight so I made an arm rest and a back plate. I can do better work,,really,,,,I mean honest I can. And I will,,probably tomorrow. ...

I really do appreciate the insight you guys are giving concerning your pick choices. It will really help me when trying to understand what and why I like a pick.

Well my heavens this thread was found on page three. How time flies.
I just read a PM from Stompbox and Sampler 2 will be in the mail shortly. I am appropriately excited.

Don, what are the clues to build dates? And I would be concerned about the missing label too. Bob.

Looking forward to hear more, Don.
Happy for you Pops1

Thank you.

I saw this tuner section on this mandolin and wondered how would I fix this problem. Using the existing tuners I could not figure a solution. What would you do?

I'm waiting for someone to start a thread about the $179 F-style Rogue with solid spruce top. With 15% off that's $152. I can't help but wonder if something is going on between MF and MK.

Those are my short abbreviations for things I learned from Pickloser thread and Giegers thread. So 4x4 is 4 strings down and 4 frets toward the bridge. Then 3x3 is 3 up and 3 toward bridge. Tent...

You're being mean Bertram, NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I just now realized that to play two finger chords in C (cfg), you simply move up and down. And I even found Am. So now I can play basically everything from the 60s. THIS IS SO SIMPLE! What else...

But you guys don't understand,,,I want to skip over all the hours of practice and get right to the point where I'm AWESOME.
That joke was courtesy of Mark (I believe).
I look at pictures of someone...
