    Re: Should "A" be 440 Hz or 432 Hz

    Well, I picked 1A, 2A, 3A, 4B.

    Which I guess means I only liked the non 440 in one instance.

    But the key switching was likely a bigger factor than the 12Hz. I think each note has its own...

    Re: Snark tuner vaporizing

    That's California prices! Here in Missouri you can get a heck of a burger for about $6.

    Beer can get up there though....used to be here in St. Louis you had two choices of beer, Budweiser or...

    Re: Snark tuner vaporizing

    About $10, so I guess that's just over 6 pounds or so. Basically the cost of a decent hamburger and a beer. ;)

    Re: Total Newbie to Mandolin - Set up questions

    I wouldn't. The main thing is that the two feet on either side make good contact. On my Ibanez I could slide a business card in from either top or bottom. The ends of the feet were visibly off the...

    Re: Best Banjo joke I've heard in a while

    What's the difference between a banjo and an onion?

    No one cries when you cut up a banjo.



    How can you tell if the stage is level?
    If the banjo player drools out of both sides of his mouth.

    Re: Too True! (Pic)

    I played in a rock band around town in the late 90's. Last gig we played payed 75 dollars.

    Our bar bill was over $300

    One of the best nights of my life:cool:

    Re: Underway and looking to play

    Hadji36 has the idea, add mass to the bridge.

    Lots of creative ways to do it, you can as he said use a clothespin, if you clip a coin or washer there it will help even more. Or perhaps you can...

    Re: Another new guy popping in with questions

    I gotta agree with Tobin on that. The harmonic is great for getting the general sense of intonation for initial setup, but comparing the harmonic and actual correct fretted intonation might drive...

    Re: Another new guy popping in with questions

    Thanks Randi, I sent off an Email to Mr. Meldrum with the request.

    For guitar I mostly use picks based on comfort and grip, with sound being much more secondary. Sounds like the choice for...

    Re: Another new guy popping in with questions

    Understood, my concern was looking at various pictures of mandolins and not knowing how they are braced, but knowing the string tension must be fairly high, it might be possible to do serious damage...

    Re: Another new guy popping in with questions

    Not to come off as argumentative, but it seems to me that it would be rather useful to know about that 12th fret harmonic. As you say the octave harmonic will be at the halfway point, so even with...

    Re: Another new guy popping in with questions

    Thanks guys, yeah it's a real cheap one, I don't even think this model has a truss rod. It's the Rogue RM-100A.

    We do have a great local folk music shop here in St. Louis, so if I need to take it...

    Re: Another new guy popping in with questions

    Thanks, I've done a fair bit of work on guitars and violins, so I'd like to take a crack at it myself.

    Pretty much any stringed instrument will produce a larger harmonic at the halfway point, with...

    Another new guy popping in with questions

    Hi all, I've been an on again off again guitar player for years, (and violin, and tin whistle, ukelele, etc.) and now after a gift card to one of the big box guitar shops will be a mandolin owner...
