I've heard the same question about a full-size mountain dulcimer. <mundanes>
I recently got a Kindle primarily for books (less weight to tote, added benefit of not lugging my laptop for internet connections when I travel. And no, my phone "hain' gone tru eleben' grade."). ...
Nah, I couldn't talk you off, at best I'd show you a different, equally dangerous, portion of the cliff. Mountain dulcimers aren't as loud, necessarily as mando's; maybe you couldn't buy a pickup*...
Wow. Good on you! Ok, answering your original question - and given some of these are a bit crossover songs (& in no particular order). Some fast, some slow, some that can be played either way......
Hand quilters would use turpentine instead of the rubbin alcohol. There was an actual product I remember hearing about umpteen years ago for helping build that quilter's callous, but I'll be darned...
I had an ex that would use the old strings in scale modeling, specifically tanks & planes. (I learned more about WWII armament than any woman with virtually no interest in warfare would ever need to...
Dad would train horses, and he'd say he would "soak" 'em every so often. Instead of daily schooling in whatever they were working on, he'd finish a lesson, and put 'em in the stall for the night,...
Actually I have the same issue with my dulcimer(s). Usually it's that the two melody strings will want to crowd together, rather than separate a great deal. Since it happens only occasionally, and...
Sorry - these are Saddle the Pony - hard to find one that I didn't find the accordion overpowering...

Ok, except for this one - Mando...
Killigans. A prior mandolinist wore a mohawk & played his mandolin off the right hip. At least one if not two of the band members are local school teachers. ...
umm.... "we kick 'em to the curb cuz they look like Jagger"????
Band Perry also has a mandolinist - it certainly caught my eye the bit in If I Die Young - altho much of the mando range they seem to do with the fiddle.
Round-Up herbicide resistance. :whistling:
I'm biased, as it was my first instrument - I'm voting with lap/mountain dulcimer. Also diatonic, altho there are luthiers who'll make chromatic frets if you ask. Pretty simple to play, and if you...
Related, Chipper Thompson does some slide work on his bouzouki - the one that comes to mind is Jesse James that he did with Mason Brown on their Am I Born to Die? CD.
Oddball me, I like a well-played banjo, pipes, or bodhran. Now the squawking of beginners on clarinet or sax, or the dissonance of a beginning fiddle player.... When my brother would practise on the...
Probably depends on your definition of "low-cost", and how good you want it. My Sweet Pea will fit in it's gig bag in my full-size suitcase - so does my half-size lap dulcimer. Works real well when...
Well, folk-y - I'd have to say Paradise/Muhlenberg County, altho Long Black Veil comes in close - but if you want age-ed folk, Katy Cruel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOfIlutUr9c
Why mandolin? cuz it's not a guitar. ("everybody" has a guitar.) I can get my hand around the neck to fret, I can get my arm around the body to strum. I can play whatever genre music I want with...
couple I found that were kinda chilling,
Cruel Brother - robber comes upon three sisters, will you marry me or die by my pen knife? he kills the first two, third one says you wouldn' do that if...

I was in the luthier repair shop, dropped off my Strad for some intonation issues, hairline separation, plus a 2 point GOK for tailpiece reset & bridge & neck work. I'm listening to the quotes and...
This is good, in a discussion format - helps to define the boundaries of what's good manners - depending on the scenario. And it helped define just what those scenarios are. I was a rank novice...
So far I've been able to find a sound-byte of everything but Come by the Hillside. Could somebody point me towards one, please? Thanks!
The Jig of Slurs/Atholl Highlanders set looks to be a fun bit for exercising/strengthening the 3rd & 4th fingers.
