Since you mentioned odds and a 40-year old Franz, during that time the NEMA standard for plugs has improved by adding a protective face to lower the chances of touching the conductors. The protective...

I don’t want to hijack this thread, but pianos and bluegrass reminded me of a story. Years ago my friend's fairly traditional bluegrass band, guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and bass, was playing a...
The notes on YouTube offer some explanation about these pieces and the theory they may have been written for mandolin.
“In Domenico Scarlatti’s vast output of 555 keyboard sonatas, there are a...
I had an oval hole with the same problem. Someone recommended thoroughly dried coffee grounds in a sock. I put it in the sound hole, closed it in the case and let it sit for a few days. It...
Yes, I also get the prompt to download html. I then use an online html to mp3 converter to create a playable mp3. Being able to play them without those steps would be great.
Nice arrangement,...

Good song! A good place to start is with the chords.
It uses the I, IV, and V chords, but gets tricky with a minor iii and minor vi. Mellencamp plays it with a capo on the fourth fret of his...
A quick caution. Only use extra light strings on that mandolin.
It is well known that in addition to Bluegrass, Bill Monroe is known as The Father of Festivus. It was decades later that Jerry Seinfeld adopted the idea for his television program. Mr. Monroe was...
Interesting set of threads from this user. With all due respect, it reminds me of AI generated content.
Thoughts on the Newgrass Revival?
Has anyone heard about a crazy mandolinist named Frank...
I was fortunate enough to see this performed live last night in Berkeley. It is a very interesting and enjoyable take on the Ellington and Strayhorn presentation of Tchaikovsky. I would agree it’s...

I found that it took a bit of practice to hold a bowl back but it didn’t take too long. This video from tavy helped me. Thank you, tavy, for sharing it.
About width of the fretboard, they...
I’ll share this video that was posted in another thread. The technique in this video is very similar to the mandolin tremolo technique.
The technique in the video shared by RoamingJoe, using all...
As written, the notation tells us to play the note above the purple arrow. The first beat is a sixteenth note followed by a dotted eighth. A dotted eighth has the duration of 3/16 so it plus the...
