  3. Re: Northfield archtop OM - can anyone measure the neck for me?

    Hey Melt_In_The_Sun....I see you are in Tucson as well! I had a NF Octave and did feel the neck was a little beefy. I switched to an Austin Clark and it's a lot slimmer.

    Re: To Speed Neck or Not to Speed Neck

    I think it depends on your environment. I wish I had one in high humidity conditions when my neck gets to feeling sticky. I'm glad I don't when humidly is low. I live in the desert so I'm good...

  17. Re: There has got to be something better than Tabledit, right?

    Musescore is the best. You can import a notation PDF and add TAB in minutes.

  19. Does Pick Size and Instrument Size have any Correlation?

    I recently accidentally purchase a XL ToneSlab pick. I feel it's way too large for picking mandolin. But, it feels really comfortable playing octave, mandola & guitar.
