Looks promising. I'll probably wait until it comes out on 8 track though.

Include me please.
Thanks,

Looks like there'll be a few of us at the Massry Center. I just got tix. Row N. The price of procrastinating! ...though I don't think there is a bad seat there.

Count me in. I'm curious.

Well I for one was impressed. Met a lot of great people. The teaching talent was outstanding, very approachable and very encouraging. My brain got a workout it hasn’t experienced since college! ...

Hi Amanda,
I'm looking forward to it as well. Coming over from Troy, NY, an easy 2 hour drive.
Instructors/classes look great. Should be a good time.

Pretty sweet!

On the Android I use a program called, gStrings for tuning and a program called Basichords which has a terrific layout for finding chords and all inversions.

Zoom H2 has fewer bells and whistles than the H4n but should be plenty enough of a recorder for tunes at sessions - and quite a bit cheaper. Check out B&H Photo at $108. Great deal.

I just recently acquired the same year and model. I am told mine sat in its case for the past 40 to 50 years after the original owner passed. Despite that length of inactivity it sounds lovely. ...

Is there anyone who has used the Frank Wakefield instuctional DVD's who would care to share their opinion of them?

This instrument doesn't seem to be the quality of their...

A co-worker is looking to learn to play the mando. She came in with a mandolin I believe to be Spanish in origin. Her father had it in the closet. It appears to be a fine instrument to start on. ...

Scott,

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you do to make this such a great site. It is a wonderful source of both...

Generally speaking what is the difference in sound between the x brace and the tone bar in two otherwise similar instruments?

I'd like to hear some opinions. At best I am an intermediate player and probably won't ever be much more than that. I play for relaxation. I like, old timey and I am working on somes blues and jazz....

I have a Rigel with those sleek rounded sides. Can anyone comment on whether a tone guard would fit on one of them?
