    Re: Aged-tone?

    I get my aged-tone from being old. I’m not torrified, just naturally old

    Re: Overcoming halted progress and frustration

    I decided to take a few days off. Picked it back up today. I decided I was going to use Amazing Slow downer and start at a slow speed I can play without errors. This can require some patience. ...

    Re: Overcoming halted progress and frustration

    I have a play along track loaded on The Amazing Slow Downer. I am able to play at 70% but just can’t get faster without a picking error. I think I will pause for a few days and try to regain my...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    Agree, and I appreciate them taking the risk. I hope they are successful and perhaps with more production get to a lower price point

    Overcoming halted progress and frustration

    I have working on Sugarfoot Rag for weeks now. It uses a lot of crosspicking which I found difficult. I can finally play it at a slow speed (maybe 70%) but I am basically stuck at this point. The...

    Off topic, non-mandolin response

    Yes, I just did buy a car without a test drive. I would have done a test drive but in the post COVID world dealers don’t have cars. I wanted a Honda Civic which...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    My guess is they dont want to start a production run until they have a certain number of orders. Demand for their other products my not have that issue

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    Not sure how you can reach that conclusion. I think the real question is how many orders will they get at $2600?

    Re: Artistworks vs Peghead Nation

    I am on the intermediate course on AW with Sierra now, and very happy with it. I have also encountered a few instances where the tab does match what she played. I mentioned this in one of my video...

    Good idea. It can serve double duty; as an instrument and as a canoe paddle

    Re: Demonstrating a mandolin

    They want you to imagine yourself playing awesome stuff on their mandolin. It’s the same reason commercials for SUVs show the car riding in rugged, cool, off-road places instead of the driver go to...
  15. Re: Could I leave mando in car in winter while skiing?

    Agree with this. Most hotels will hold your luggage. You’ll want to tip them but that is small change compared to a repair. Maybe toss an Apple AirTag or Samsung SmartTag in the case for extra...

    Re: Grommets vs damper on tailpiece

    Epilogue: correcting the string routing solved my off tone issues but I decided to throw some grommets on there for the heck of it, since they are cheap. I can’t say I noticed any difference

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    Technically is doesn’t cost $2600, at least not yet, and maybe it never will. I wouldn't think anyone buys a CF mandolin for the best possible sound, but rather to get a mandolin that is super...

    Re: Grommets vs damper on tailpiece

    The string height on the G string at the 12th fret is ~1.25mm. That seems pretty standard. There are quite a few threads showing on the bridge adjustment which maybe led you to that conclusion

    Re: Grommets vs damper on tailpiece

    Figured out my problem. The person that did a setup ran the strings on top of the tailpiece instead of below where there is indeed a piece of damping material on the underside of the tailpiece

    Are these two solutions to the same problem or do they have different purposes? I picked up a new mandolin and am getting some dissonant ringing from what I believe is the tailpiece. There is not...

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    It’s very possible that future production runs will have refinements the first batch won’t have. That is the trade off for a discounted price I suppose

    I have often wondered how much hand carving and sanding goes into a mass market China made mandolin. Is is possible to use a computer controlled router to make a somewhat optimal top? I think my...
