Scott,

Huge congratulations. I KNEW you were gonna end up with a Larri Mando. I'm surprised you lasted this long. Enjoy her.

Just had to say that I haven't been here much lately and I come back and see somebody figuring out one of my fave songs by my fave band. Kewl.

I think anyone with instruments has to make sure that they are spoken about in their wills. Of particular importance are vintage instruments. As I am not all that educated in vintage instruments, can...

Hello back at you.:cool:

lol!:))

Thanks everyone for your posts. I decided to go with the Oasis and also bought a hygrometer which hangs on the wall, so I know at a glance how good/bad the humidity is here.

Thanks again.

Lynda

Thanks for your advice, but as an asthmatic, too much humidity is not good for my breathing.

As it is getting colder here, I am starting to think about humidifiers. I live in a 100 year old house where I have no control of the temperature and it is always dry in here due to the oil furnace...

Have read, can't remember where, that these pics are the ultimate in mandolin playing? Comments, thoughts?

As an acoustic guitarist, I play with Fender mediums. Can somebody guide me in the...

Hello,

I have a Kentucky KM-805 which has a very tightly wound scroll. From looking at most straps that are out there, I doubt that most would fit through the scroll. I would prefer not to have to...

I am glad that somebody else posted this as I have been looking for a strap for my F. I looked at the Long Hollow Leather Mandolin Softy, but couldn't find a price on the web site.

Camera (about a good friend of the band who died in a flood)
So. Central Rain (about a relationship that broke up)
Both by REM

Of course, in terms of the band's hits, they'res always Everybody...

The fact that I just brought "him" home.
The fact that I will learn how to play Losing my Religion.
The fact that playing mandolin is much easier on my little hands than playing my Taylor acoustic.

Are you guys talking about the Matrix sr1000v?

Hey,

As I am new to mandolins, I am asking this here. I was told at one of my local shops, that don't know much about mandolins, that I could use any chromatic tuner. I have the Korg GA-30 for my...

Don't worry, Bo usually doesn't get anywhere near my instruments. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I can't seem to get the photos to show up here, so here is the link to my Flickr album, if you're interested in looking.

For other REM fans, in case you don't already know, Peter also plays mandolin on a few songs on the Green album.

I am - it's out of tune.[/QUOTE]
A note about Religion and the current REM tour (I know, you guys had no idea I am a fan).:D

During one of the last shows on the NA tour (I think it was Philly),...

Just wanted to say I'm sorry for my rather arrogant response. I have loved REM since 1988 and I remember the video with Peter playing the mandolin, so I guess I just assumed that everyone would know...

Even if my budget could have allowed for the Weber, I doubt I could have done it, not being my first.

I have a serious case of GAS and would rather drop $2,000 on a Taylor Dreadnaught 8.

Just...

Hi,

I am also new here and just bought my first F, as I have a serious case of scroll envy. For the money you are looking to spend, you will honestly do much better buying an A.

Can I say, you're not serious? There is no way that was played on a guitar.

I play acoustic, and yes, I have searched for REM tab/chords. Thanks for your advice anyways.

Thanks so much. I will definitely check out that site.

Wish I had of seen that tour.
