    Diamond Rio mandolin player

    I’m just rediscovering how much I used to love the band Diamond Rio when I was younger (before I was into mandolins). Anybody know what kind of mandolin he was playing during the 90’s??? I know it...
  3. Re: Blue Chip CT 55 versus Dunlop Prime Tone 1.4

    I like the tone of Blue Chips better. I hear more pick click with the Prime Tones and a little more treble. The Blue Chip sounds richer. I think the Prime Tone slides off the strings better than BC.

    Re: Is my truss rod broken?

    Yes, I’m pressing 1st and 12th fret. The strings touch across all of the frets. Sounds like my neck is straight. Maybe I’ll just not worry about it! Thanks so much for your help!

    Re: Is my truss rod broken?

    Yes, I’m tuned up to full tension and there is still no relief with the nut loose. I bought it from Musicians Friend thinking I could do the setup.

    Is my truss rod broken?

    I just got a new Kentucky KM-252. The neck appears straight but I wanted to add a touch of relief. When I took off the truss rod cover, the adjustment nut was all the way tight as far as it will go....

    I recently bought a 2017 J. Boviers A5. It's hands down better than any The Loar I've ever played. For $900, I guarantee you won't find anything that sounds better (to me). Jeff is great to do...

  23. Who prefers a flat fretboard/smaller frets and why?

    Who prefers a flat fretboard and traditional frets (i.e. KM-900) over a radiused fretboard and large frets (i.e. KM-950). If you do, why is that? Thanks!
