    Do you recall their answers?
  2. Re: If you could ask Chris Thile and the Punch Brothers one quest

    Have a link to share, for those in the audience who may be unawares, or for those who do not (regularly) use Spotify?

    Re: Newbie Question

    There will be lots of opinions on this, for sure... some will say definitely learn to play in Eb. I say, eventually, sure. Over the near term, though, particularly since you're new to mandolin, and...

    Re: Hanger for Wall Hanger?

    Fishing line also works well, and is practically invisible. I loop around the bottom tuners so that the hook/nail is hidden behind the headstock.

    I'm originally from Coeburn, VA, a small town that sits just down the mountain from the Stanley home on the ridge. As a kid growing up, I would regularly see the "Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain...

    Re: 1924 F-5 Master Model Mandolin

    Barry's suggestion is, I think, not receiving enough emphasis. This mandolin is likely worth a lot of money. The first order of business, before driving or flying anywhere, is to make sure that it...

    Re: sweaty hand?!?

    I don't seem to have as much problem with it as I used to, which I attribute to two things: tung-oil-finished neck, but also just being more comfortable on stage with experience. Still, what used to...

  17. Re: ordering. new pick tonight. which kind should i get?

    Longhollow Softy is nice -- buy once, use for-practically-ever. But something like Planet Waves may suffice.

    Indeed.

    I'll add two (clearly biased) points:

    1) The only thing we can't do more efficiently in-terminal is browse the Web.
