Yes I absolutely would purchase such a book. I have bought many instruments there over the years.

On my last trip when I purchased a martin 00-15, I was playing it when your father...

Ditto. I have owned an MT and now an MF. The workmanship is flawless. The sound is perfection. I have played them back to back against many mandolins, Gibsons, Webers, etc. and I am drawn to the...

I play a Collings MF. I also have an "A" style Kentucky 150. I have the action on both as low as they can go without buzzing and I don’t play that hard. I find the Kentucky a lot easier to play, I...

Thanks

Can someone let me know the name of the tune mike plays in the sample. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time, Mike.

Her are KM 150 Tuners and MF. The MF say Elite on them.


I measure the plate on Km 150 to be 115 mm inches long and 25 mm from center of wheel to center of next wheel. Looking on Stew mac I dont...

Thanks to all who took the time to reply. I was just looking to put on some better tuners. The present ones are not terrible but compared to my Tuners on My Collings MF there is a big difference. I...

I would like to upgrade the tuners on a Kentucky 150. Does anyone know of a better set that would fit right in? Let me know. Thanks.

Here is my favorite celtic site. It contains sheet music and midi for each song listed and categorizes the songs by type: jig, hornpipe etc....

Just wondering if anyone has had experience changing tuners on an MT. I have the original elite tuners on there but they just wont keep it in tune. I have the same tuners on my MF but I don't have...

I have owned 2 older A9's and a 2010 Gibson F-9. I must say that when I first played an MT in a store I fell in love with the sound and feel of the instrument. I could not get it out of my head so I...

Just my 2 cents (observation).... in the 70's there were many Rock and country rock groups (such as David Bromberg, The Dead/Jerry Garcia, Nitty Gritty Dirt band, New Riders & Byrds) introducing a...

1) Do you have any plans on doing an instructional video? (I love your Homespun tapes book with 6 cds.)

2) Do you any plans on doing a full album with just you and Chris Thile... like the project...

I also love everything about my 2009 MT. It has an excellent sound, good volume and nice fingerboard. I did a little test with the band members I play with. On recent various occasions with them I...

Hey Carolie;

I hope you can get playing soon. I had a similar condition... numbness/tingling in arms/hands from a spinal cord injury in my neck. Doctors can really do wonders. Email me if you want...

At first I could not get any volume or suitable tone out of the dawgs, old or new. I then switched to Wegen 150's. After using the 150's and liking them, I decided to try to bevel the Dawg pick with...

I use 3 different sizes, 100, 150 and a .73 mm that Michel Wegen made as a special order (same price). I wanted one with a similar width as Fender Medium pick so we estimated it to be .73mm and he...

I just got a Kodak Zi8 a few days ago. So far I am very happy with it for recording the mandolin, especially given the fact that you can set the sensitivity level for the audio recording level when...

Just bought a Flip a few days ago and have been fooling around with it. So far, I am not so sure this camera is the way to go for recording myself playing music. The microphone is super, super...

Quick update:
I returned the case to Collings. They sent a new one... but it has the same smell. I figured I'd order a different case so I got a Canadian tweed from another retailer. When I opened...

Thanks for all the comments. I have spoken by email to Collings and they have agreed to take back the case. I have had it airing out open for three weeks now. I even tried the baking soda solution...

I just purchased a brand new MT. I got it 10 days ago. I absolutely love it but I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. The case has a very, very stong odor... a glue type smell....

Thanks to all of you for your replies...

I lowered (very low) the strings on my Eastman and developed a little buzz on the G strings. The other strings are perfect. I put a tiny piece of tape under the strings at the nut and a tiny piece of...
