Ireland too! just sent an email, I'd love to get my hands on this.
A lovely guy too. I met him after a gig in the Cathedral in Kilkenny. We chatted for ages about his guitars, my wife had to interupt us to drag me away!
While I agree that it needs an updated, even a more intuitive interface, I still find it a pretty good piece of software. Can't complain too much about it for the price.
I've played both, but in music shops not at sessions. Both were louder than you'd expect, Maloney Music in Galway has/had both in stock. I ended up with a Jimmy Moon A2, but I would have been happy...
I got a Jimmy Moon A2 about 9 or 10 years ago. i play Irish Trad with an accordion and a "heavy handed" guitar player. I'm told it cuts through! I've seen them on Hobgoblin and Eagle second hand for...
I like this, I can't give any technical reason why, I just like this. well done.
I recently saw an interview with Frankie Gavin the fiddle player on Sé Mo Laoch (Available on Irish TV channel TG4 player) and in it Frankie says that ALL reels should be played fast and playing them...
I've tried a few different types, I had a small trianglar one you might like, not sure of the code, but I've settled on the larger triangler one I think it's the TF series. Michel is a lovely guy who...
I love Gerry O'Connor's version on Time After Time (as the YouTube llnk above). That whole album is great.
No Accapella doesn't work on android, I'm told it does on certain android models but I've never found one. I have an old iPhone 5 that I use for accapella with a trad group. You need to get an...
The simpliest way I've found is; I use a Win10 laptop and record myself playing guitar. I use OBS studio but there's loads of simplier app out there. I then play back the backing video on the laptop...
I agree with the "what ever works for you, on my F I use the scroll but my As have strap buttons installed, cause that's how I like them.
I once had a teacher who used to say " That's NOT the most...
wOw that's a beauty.
Have to follow the rest and recommend Marla on Peghead Nation. I come from rural Ireland and grew up playing at ceilis but gave Marla a go on Peghead on the recommendation of a friend. She gave me...
I use a Moon mandolin for acoustic sessions, on which I use Elixir's, and an Eastman when we plug in, which I string up with D'Addario EXPs. Before Covid I was playing about 3 to 4 gigs, or sessions,...
That's generally the speed we play jigs at. Maybe one or two a bit faster, Connaughtman's Rambles for example and there are a few that I've come across which feel nicer to me slower, The Rolling...
Just bought a Cinghialetto, very happy with it. I installed a strap pin under the neck as I rather this alignment than around the head. Last mando I put the strap button on the back at the heel but...
Actually here's us playing it, way too fast in my opinion but I was outvoted! and thus make some mistakes!

Funny to see this post, I still play with the same trio and we now play Dusty Windowsills with Banish Misfortune.
I have an Eastman MD605 (f hole A stye) and a Jimmy Moon A2 (oval hole A style). The Eastman is a beautiful instrument to play with a great balance and tone across the strings and up the fretboard....
I have an MD605, before I bought I played a 304 with a K&K installed. The 605 to me is miles ahead in every sense. I play mine through a Headway preamp and am very happy with the sound.
I play mandolin and Tenor Banjo. In Ireland the tenor banjo, referred to here as simply a banjo, is tuned an octave lower than an actual banjo. However I've seen Gerry O'Connor playing Trad on a...
I've missed Paul Brady and Andy Irvine, their gig in Kilkenny was cancelled. I also had tickets for Iarla ÓLionáird and Steve Cooney, Steve's new solo album, Ceol Ársa Cláirsí: Tunes of the Irish...
I'm in Ireland and we were 2 weeks "social distancing" and now 1 week into lockdown. I have 3 kids and my wife works in a frontline service so I'm at home trying to make sure the 3 demons keep up...
I have a 605. I was playing last Sat night and the other band members all commented on how good the pickup was. The general feeling is that its the most even sounding, plugged in, mandolin I've ever...
