I like the one piece back I have on the Davidson two point mandolin, but that’s because it gives a larger canvas for all the wonderful woody patterns to play out. Emotionally there’s a completeness...

Similar to David I play standing and sitting and don’t use a strap for either carved top or bowl back instruments. Same hold standing or sitting & the instrument just stays put without any need to...

Jim, i used to do that with a rolled up bit of towelling. I wasn't too keen on shoving it in underneath and rolling it tight enough to get pressure under the strings, as long term it might have made...

You can make a mute from a freezer bag clip and some dense foam. It isn't perfect but you do get a thunk from the pick on strings. It's a bit like applying a firm palm mute without having to keep...

A couple of Vince Gueraldi numbers to throw into the mix;

From Sandra at the BMG inviting us all to the

A (fishing) technique for avoiding bulky knots in nylon loops is to crimp the nylon at the tip in a ridged vice jaw or pliers and do the same at the point where the loop doubles back to meet the...

Following up on what JeffD says; a few years back I made a double frame from mounting board and then put cross-bars in the slot between, which can be shuffled to match the book layout you are using....

I stumbled across some album launch blurb for a London band I hadn't heard of before yesterday, called "Forty Elephant Gang" . They have some good songs and a good mandolin player, which is the main...

I do that with my mandoloncellos, bowlback & A bodied, but have both feet planted on the floor when seated.
If standing I put one foot on the stand it sits in when not in use.

I put a dab of solder on the wound string a few cm from the end, then clamp it with a vise grip just in front of that. I then unwind the outer and lay it back around the core in a longer twist, bend...

It's a really lovely tune to play. It's in his book Great Tunes For The Mandolin #1
I was areally pleased to find it in there when I bought that book.

The violoncello and mandoloncello is actually a diminutive form, which seems strange until you are told they are the "little" version of their origin instrument the violone and the mandolone. Violone...

You could try "The Mandolin Lesson" by Frances Taylor http://themandolinlesson.com/the_book.htm

an autobiographical story of self discovery centred around a passion for the mandolin.

You may find Chris Smith's book useful to give you an insight into the whole subject of backing.
Celtic Backup For All Instruments
I bought it to help with my Tenor guitar and Mandoloncello backing...

I'd second the recommendation for Phil Davidson. I saw a restoration he did on a teens gibson a couple of years back & it was impeccable.

Matt Norman has done two really good workshops for the BMG members this summer as a substitute for not having the summer school. I really enjoyed them.


Our mandolin orchestra & fiddle orchestra...

You can always do the Strings shuffle. It's not unknown for a mandolin to be restricted by too meaty a string set. Maby try the DR rare ones with the hexagonal cores, they come up well on some...

There are different types of hornpipe rhythm, some are very even, rather than what is often called 'dotted' rhythm. I would find it difficult to give any absolutes about which tunes or styles should...

I find I turn to the music with the season change. I love the cascading flow of the Hardanger styles in the winter.

We left the EU last year, this year is just rolling things over & seeing if we can cobble something together to maintain any fluidity to the transactions.

There have been some innovative mandolins building...
