    Re: Harley Benton Tenor - GDAE?

    That's fair. I'm still playing around with the CGDA tuning, maybe by the time I get arround to actually changing the strings I'll want to make the trip anyway.



    I wouldn't know. I do like the...

    Harley Benton Tenor - GDAE?

    I just got a Harley Benton CLT-20S tenor as my first acoustic tenor guitar (I got an electric Eastwood last year). For the price, I have no complaints. It resonates quite nicely.

    ....but of course...

    Re: Very early depiction of a tenor guitar!

    Judging by the design - holes, tail piece, shape of the waist, the fact it has five strings at the bridge despite 4 tuning pegs - I might have guessed viol or cello. There also appears to be a bow...

    Re: Tried this string comparison technique?

    I'd say not necessarily for the previously stated reasons. For example, I could envision a scenario where you play them individually and "ooh, this one has a kind of nice zing to it that I like, the...

    Re: Tried this string comparison technique?

    I think this would give me a little information about the sound of each string, but the problem with this for me is that it's a very "artificial" test. You'd have to listen to single strings at a...

    Re: Info on J. Bovier mandolins, please

    Another ELS owner. I've described it as the one thing I'd quickly grab in a fire. Such a wonderful little instrument. It just looks, sounds, and plays awesome, and it turned a growing...

    Re: Humidity control, ay ay ay

    Nice to hear from someone in the area. I think the fact that my apartment is really not airtight may indeed be my biggest issue. I can't really modify things too much because I rent, though maybe I...

    Humidity control, ay ay ay

    I live in Maryland and in the winter the humidity would drop to 20-some percent at worst, so I bought a small humidifier, which wasn't too cheap and should have worked for my studio apartment (no...
  10. Re: Tested: Where Does The Tone Come From In An Electric Guitar?

    I really liked this video (now a series) and my only critique was I wish he'd kept a clean tone throughout and used EQ to see some actual numbers vs. "how's this sound to you" (since placebo and...

    Re: What are your roles?

    Long ago I played mostly second violin in a violin group. Now I play almost exclusively for myself.

    For as long as I've played mandolin my role has been "bedroom musician unsuccessfully trying to...

    Adjusting the tone knob

    I have a JBovier ELS (4 string solidbody mandolin). Recently I've noticed that the tone knob is kind of a flat "very bright" for about 3/4 of a rotation, and then is just "very dark" for the last...

    Any chance of identifying this mandolin?

    This is probably a long shot, but there's a picture of one of my father's aunts playnig the mandolin and I'd be interested to know if it's at all identifiable (I think you can click the picture to...
  16. Re: Where do the names F-style and A-style actually come from?

    Apologies if I struck a collective nerve, it would seem I didn't do my research of past discussions on the topic well enough. Though I appreciate all the replies and the sense of humor.
  17. Where do the names F-style and A-style actually come from?

    I've been playing a solid 11 years or something, so I feel a bit silly asking.

    In my head I tell myself that if I squint hard enough I can roughly see the shape of the letter A or F (this one less...

    Re: OT-ish: fiddle pickin' ?

    I'd second pretty much all of this, even though my violin is nothing fancy. Though violin is probably still my "primary" instrument.

    That, and many years ago I may or may not have broken a violin...

    I play "whatever", including classical, bluegrass, jazz (badly, working on it), rock, and whatever else I make up.

    That is the one I mean. Are there standard words for differentiating the two strings in a course?
