Thank you, Jairo. I will avoid using jpg in the future.
Thank you, Joe, and thanks for offering to re-format this. I would love to hear a rendition of it.
re: music and cats: We can swap recipes.
I am attaching my arrangement for two mandolins of J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variation no. 29. Anyone who finds a use for any part of it is welcome to it.

How can civilization possibly evolve any further than this?
Joe, I'm happy that you like the piece. Maybe sometime I'll post the whole score.
I arranged this Adagio for 5 mandocellos. I'm attaching sheet music for the Mandocello I part and a recording of the accompanying parts. I always feel good after playing this.
I save the stainless steel inserts from my used auto wiper blades. It turns out that some of the thicker ones are about .047" x .150" stainless bar stock, ample for my 1913 Vega cylinder back's bar...
Further refinements to the Weiss Fantasie tablature. I have filled the open chords for fuller sound and smoother playing.
When we heard Rickie Lee Jones at the Kent Stage a few years ago, in her ensemble was a woman playing a 4-string electric mandolin which had an excellent real mandolin sound. And the concert was...
See revised tablature at end of this thread, plus a combined tablature and standard notation.

Revised, improved tablature:
The pictures I should have included (sorry):
Here I clamped a piece of carbon rod to the neck to show its displacement below the level of the top. Also visible is separation between neck block and...
Thank you for this thread, Scott. I've been wondering how to make the change, so please change my user name from inangaman to Harmon Gladding. Thanks!
I want to replace the fingerboard, add a carbon fiber neck rod, and refret my 1915 Gibson A mandolin. With the board off, I noticed the neck had slipped .012" downward in relation to the level of...
I'm enjoying these, and look forward to a complete listen. A couple of my favorite artists are Paolo Martelli (2.1--two guitar recordings--one seems more expressive than the other), and Hopkinson...
Is there evidence to support this claim? Thank you.
Progress report & new questions:
Showing a photo of my chisel guide for fitting a wedge to replace wood that was chipped out of the neck block in the truss rod router episode.

Thank you, everyone, for your input. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use two 1/8" x 1 /2" rods to make up a quarter by half rod? (I already have the thinner rod on hand. ). And, although I get...
amowry and Skip Kelly: I'm very grateful to you for steering me in the right direction. Thank you!
Please see the attached photo. On my 1915 Gibson A, I had previously remedied a forward neck bow by planing the underside of the finger board to match the neck bow. Now, wanting to refret and...
Fascinating discussion. Thank you for all of your replies. For notation scores, I go to imslp.org. I forget if anything besides the D minor is available there. Learning tablature takes time. I...
Thank you for all of your remarks. Mando and uke could be fun.
I haven't decided how well this video works, but it was inspired by a phenomenal piece of artistry. I remember hearing the original work while I was on my knees, scrubbing floors in Orwell, Ohio...
