    Re: iPad Bluetooth page turners

    Thank you Beanzy. I will have fun checking out that app as well as ForScore. It's definitely new (to me) technology to reduce some of the "clutter".

    Re: Strings for the Phoenix Europa Mandolin

    By the way - I have the mediums on my Lyon & Healy and Phoenix - but the TI heavy's on my Collings. I doubt that most people could feel or hear the difference between the two sets. Also, the now...

    Re: New Piccolo and My Piccolo Trio

    Thanks Bob. That totally clears it up about piccolo mandolins!

    Re: New Piccolo and My Piccolo Trio

    This is an interesting thread - thank you Jim. But what exactly is the difference between a piccolo, pocket, and modern day travel mandolin? I've always been fascinated with "pochette" violin "kits"...
  13. Re: Anyone heard of Micah Bonn? Young player, nice jazz mandolin!

    Stumbled on the same video today and did a search to see if her name was on Mandolin café. What a great video, and I love the happy carefree way in which she plays exclamation.
  14. Re: Lost in my search of a mandolin for classical music

    Another mandolin favored by classical players is the Phoenix Neoclassical. The two person shop ceased production in 2015. They are incredible mandolins. You will find high praise for them on numerous...

    Re: Vintage Gibson Playability

    I would agree with Flatrock's assessment. My Lyon & Healy definitely feels different than my two more "modern" mandolins. It feels different because of the string spacing. For me, it just took time...

    Sue, your quote from Zen Guitar is excellent :-)

    You played some L&H mandolas - oh what a treat that must have been! And yes, I'm envious LOL!
  21. Re: What’s the nicest mandolin you’ve ever seen?

    The first would be the Lyon & Healy Model A played by Frank Solivan at Mandolin Brothers. It's the most incredible mandolin I've ever seen - even if it was only through the internet:
