    Re: Keeping up with the Fiddlers

    For me, playing a tune fast is to find the ways that allow you to reduce your effort to just what is required to get there, and no more. As has been mentioned, it is possible to work too hard, and it...

    Re: Adding D rings to case

    I posted this thread a while back, on the way I like to put a carry strap on my mandolin cases. This way of carrying the case is way better for me than a backpack style strap.

    Re: ATPro35, ATM350U and Meyers Feather

    I have played many gigs with my AT pro35 clipped to the tailpiece of my Rigel A+ Deluxe. I have also clipped it to the pick guard on my Gibson A-2z. This mic does a good job, as long as the room...

    Re: Fletcher tenor guitars?

    I bought a tenor guitar from Jamie at Clifftop, 2006, I think. I believe it was a prototype for his Tenor-tone line. What he told me, and his mom, too, was that this design was taken from her tenor...

    Re: New Batwing coming soon

    The website says it has a Tele-style bridge, but the image of the back shows 4 holes. Do the strings feed into the bridge from the top, or do they pass through the body, Strat-style?

    Re: Clip-on mic vs Removable Pickup

    I’ve clipped an AT Pro-35 mic to the tailpiece on at least 2 different mandolins, and been very happy with the results over lots of gigs. These days, I usually use a pickup, but would have no problem...
  9. Re: Source/Size Rubber Silicone Washer to Keep Strap on End Pin J

    This is the simplest solution I’ve found for keeping straps on endpin jacks.
  10. Re: Source/Size Rubber Silicone Washer to Keep Strap on End Pin J

    I’ve been using these Dunlop strap retainers for 20+ years, and they work well. They use a cam system, are easy to get on or off, and have never let me down, through countless gigs and sessions.

    Thanks to all for these good suggestions.

    Tracy, I assume you couldn’t get a string gauge that would work for the high E. I have a tenor with a 21” scale, octave mando tuned, GDAE. The maker,...

    Re: Acoustic Boost Pedals

    Seconding what others have said, I regularly use the boost on my redeye. It sure helps me to be heard, while keeping my playing level in my comfort zone.
  22. Re: Anyone installed a K&K Mando Twin in a Northfield?
