I am thinking about signing up; I remember last year's enthusiastic reactions and it's a great line-up of instructors. I live in the Netherlands, so it will be not just expensive but also a long...

i have an Eastman 604 (oval hole A-model) and have a reso mando, built by Dutch luthier Arie van Spronssen - it's a modern copy of a 1930s Dobro/Regal.
The reso mando is way louder than the...

I have not used this particular pickup (I have K&K's installed in my mandolins), but I do have a KNA pickup on my tenor banjo and a friend of mine has a KNA on his nylon string acoustic guitar. Easy...

If my count is correct you run six or seven pedals on your 1 Spot. With so many pedals I would rather use a separate pedal power supply, such as a Voodoo Lab or the T-Rex Fuel Tank. You can then run...

Very flattering to be labeled as 'younger people' - you made my day! Was actually born in 1951, so now have time enough for searching. :)

@mandroid: Would you prefer a volume pedal over a booster pedal? If so, why?

Thanks for the suggestion of the JJB Voljack. However, as far as I can see it's not for sale in Europe and importing from the US has become very costly due to taxations. I will look for similar...

Thanks for your reactions so far. To answer the question about pickups: I have K&K pickups in both mandolins.

I've read many enthusiastic reactions about the Red-Eye pre-amp, but for now am quite...

I've read a number of threads on booster pedals, but have not yet found a satisfactory answer. I play my mandolins into a Fishman Loudbox. Sometimes I need a little boost for soloing. As the Loudbox...

Last week I got my reso mando, that was built for me by Dutch luthier Arie van Spronssen. As you can see it is a copy of the mandolins built by Dobro and Regal in the 1930s.

In an electric setting I plug my Eastman MD604 (oval hole with K&K pickup installed) into a Fishman PRO EQ and go from there directly into the PA. This works well but you need a good monitoring...

Looks beautiful Sheila - congrats!

Is the body bigger than a mandolin or does it look bigger because of the smaller uke coverplate? I am curious as I have a reso mandolin built for me as well -...

These stars and moon coverplates are really beautiful, but I would also be quite happy with the 'sieve' design!

I bought my spider cone and bridge at Blue Note Woodworks, but they did not have a...

Thanks for your advice, Sue. I'll try to call him Monday.

Thanks Jim.

I did ask Resophonic Outfitters (forgot to mention them) - they do not stock this particular coverplate. The one on Jake Wildwood's site is a biscuit cone coverplate. Nevertheless I...

Thanks for your suggestion, John. As it was not available at amazon anymore I looked at AliExpress (a first for me) and did find it there. Unfortunately it is 28cm, so slightly over 11inch. Too big...

No, that is a coverplate for a biscuit cone - they're slightly different.

I'm having a resonator mandolin built. It's based on the 1930s Regal/Dobro models. It will have a 9 1/16" spider bridge (already purchased). Now I'm looking for a spider bridge coverplate that fits...

Reviving this thread as I have a question regarding old Dobro/Regal resonator mandolins. I found a few on the internet that have no decal. Sellers present them as Regals and indeed they do look...

I´ve been working on the same transition. Two things have really helped me in improving my right hand posture and technique. I put an armrest on my mandolin and I started lessons on Peghiead nation...

I started playing the mandolin as a side activity to playing guitar and slide guitar. So I already had a basis when I started. I have learned a lot from listening to blues mandolin players - that is...

To come back to Ranald's question:
I had a look at my Taj Mahal records and cds and found one reference to TM on mandolin: on 'Music fuh ya' (1977). I'll try to find out on which song(s) he plays...

Thanks for your suggestions so far. Ray, my mandolin has a K&K pickup, dobro and guitar have MiSi pickups. They all function very well with the Fishman amp and PRO EQ.

Hello all,
At gigs I switch between mandolin, dobro and acoustic guitar. My bandmates suggested I might buy a kind of mixer - sounds like a good idea. I looked up the thread about the Radial...
