    Re: What makes strings go sharp?

    We play mostly outdoor shows and this seems to challenge my mandolin to stay in tune. On the inevitable short pause in which I retune (while muted of course!) I offer the ancient observation that...

  5. Re: D'Addario Micro Headstock vs Micro Clip Free tuners

    I use the clip on micro tuner on my Breedlove Legacy FF A model. No one has ever complained that it obscures the name on the headstock. Instead I usually get 'what is that?' and explain it's an A...

    Re: Best way to learn Mandolin with ADHD

    In contrast of Simon DS above, I am a doctor in that specific field (Ph.D. though, not MD) with ADHD as well. When I first began mandolin I subscribed to a year of lessons on Peghead Nation. For...

    Not to pile on with all of us willing to spend your money for you, but here goes: I'm with the majority who favor finding a way to keep it. I'm more of a guitar player who can play mandolin. I can...

    Re: Best Mandolin Stand?

    I don't know whether this helps the OP but I use a mic stand mounted yoke holder when playing live. An obvious concern is the instrument banging against the stand in wind, etc. but I have a tone...

  11. Poll: Re: Just starting out -- Should I really learn to "read music"?

    I admit to having skimmed the thread so disregard my comments if they are redundant. I would offer a qualified yes, learn to read music. I sight read on guitar as this was my first instrument and...

    Re: A Different Busking Question

    the duo I am a part of have had success by asking the management for permission to play. We're careful not to obstruct the entrance/exit and not to play anything that's likely to offend anyone.

    Re: Do you insure your instruments?

    yes. Most of my instruments are guitars so I hope I'm still allowed to comment here! I play out a couple times a month and the peace of mind insurance gives me is well worth the annual cost.

    Congratulations. Somewhat related to this, my Breedlove Legacy OF continues to be a great mandolin. Best wishes for this exciting new launch of a well respected mandolin maker.

    Yikes. I think it has the original strings so maybe it's those vintage 3 strings that have upped the price

    Enjoy the new mando! I check the classifieds nearly every day as well, then go play either of my mandolins and think, 'these are great!' So far so good....
  20. Re: Do you take your best or most valuable mandolin to gigs?

    same here so I only have to decide which one to take as neither of them cost much! I do have a custom Martin guitar that I don't gig with though.

    Re: Electric mandolin.

    and I would add that the joy of the mandolin is that you're never satisfied. There's always the factor of 'this is nice, but what i REALLY want is..." Have fun and enjoy the ride!
