Now the problem is getting it, at least from a budget standpoint, though not the cost of the book itself. From the UK to the US, the shipping costs almost as much as the book/CD. With a used copy,...

Can I assume that "Evelyn's Big Book for Mandolins 2015" by Evelyn Tiffany-Castiglioni would be usable for a single player, just using the melody line? I'm a novice, so I have no ideas of the...
I just realized (thanks to HonketyHank) that this book would be written only in notation (it's not specifically for mandolin). Since I don't read notation well yet, I'll wait a while to get this...
I came across a book and CD called Traditional Slow Airs of Ireland by Tomás Ó Canainn. Has anyone used it? Does anyone one know if it is suitable for a raw beginner, or is it too advanced just yet?...
Slow airs, pieces by Turlough o'Carolan. Particular favorites: "Máire Dhall"; "Tá Mo Chleamhnas á Dhéanamh"; "Caitlin Traill".
I was thinking of getting or making a strap for my mandolin. However, there's no knob on the tailpiece to which I can attach a strap (and no opening in the tailpiece for one). Since the instrument...
Do you know of any books of Breton music with mandolin tablature? I saw Kornog years ago in Manhattan (they were great), and have a couple of Alan Stivell LPs. Really interesting music.
How is Scottish Mandolin Tutor by David (Dagger) Gordon as an instructional book for someone just learning to play mandolin (I don't play other instrument)? I've already ordered Simon Mayor's The...
Did you use the Simon Mayor book with or without the CD?
Sometimes I think I acquired my sense of syntax from John Ruskin or William Morris (although one teacher I had in high school said it came from reading too much Tolkien). I also once taught English...
It was inserted between the strings and the top and under the tailpiece.

The stuff is was thinking of using is beeswax, olive oil, and carnauba wax, no solvents, according to the label.
I have a Regal mandolin from the 1920s that's been in the family since then. I seem to recall it having (years ago) a thick-ish piece of what I think was green felt (shaped a bit like a pick) under...
I have a mandolin from the 1920s. It's a bit scratched up. Is it safe to use a wax (like Daddy Van's or Goddard's) to protect the wood on the body, or is it a really bad idea? It got that way from my...
Well. I think it's an A-style, but I know zip.
I have a flatback Regal mandolin, most probably from the 1920s or a smidge earlier (it was my grandfather's, I believe). it has a beige Regal label with a crown on it inside. There's what's left of...
OK. I'm on a shoestring, and can buy just one book for learning mandolin. I think I've narrowed it down (thanks to this site) to Greg Horne's "Complete Mandolin Method - Complete Edition", or Don...
