    Re: opening mp3 files

    It just occurred to me that there could be another resolution. Right-click on the file and "open with" Windows Media player. There is probably a check box to tell it to do that everytime.

    Re: opening mp3 files

    Re: Stormy gig

    Re: CD replication and case design

    I had really good results with a 100 pack short run through DiskFaktory.com. You can access them through Musicians Friend and get a little discount. Also, depending on your needs, you can build them...

    Re: best oval hole for around $1500?

    I wanted an oval hole F and couldn't afford a vintage Gibson F-4 or a mandolin from a small builder. I lucked up on an advertisement from The Mandolin Store on this message board and wound up with an...

    Re: Classifieds

    When I see a "new" instrument dealer advertising an item with "call for price" that tells me that the dealer is willing to sell below the minimum advertised price and might be worth the call. This is...

    I just got her in , last evening. I've only had about twenty minutes with her, but as soon as I finish my coffee, I'm going to let her rip for a couple of hours. At first glance, I am quite impressed...

    Ayy, Capt.
    I keep saying that one day I will make it out to the Big A and jam with you and Charles. Maybe I can get with Jude and Bryan and make a weekend trip out there.

    Re: I'm very excited! I placed an order.

    Not in the context of traditional Cajun music. There was a time when Tommy Comeaux played some mandolin with Beausoleil. Michael Doucet's music is great music, but it is much more accepted outside of...
  13. Re: Is it really possible to make a mandolin sound like a fiddle?

    I agree with Tom in that when one refers the genre "Old Time" it is referencing a specific music from a specific time and region. That isn't to say that new music isn't, or can't be written in that...

    Re: Mandolin as musical catalyst

    In Cajun music, there is no mandolin. I've played guitar for years, and I wanted to learn the fiddle so I could do some twin fiddle stuff with my bandmate. I've not been able to get it because of a...
