Although I can't answer your question about strings, I'd like to add that I played one a couple of times at a mandolin gathering and really enjoyed it. While I'm not looking for another mandolin, if...

To my knowledge, he hasn't made the Kid-Mos in years. Looks like a MidMo but has a bolt-on neck and everything is smaller but not as small as the old Holdrio piccolo in my profile pic. I happened...

I use my Evelyn's Big Book for Mandolin (she now has 3 out) for sight-reading practice. The tunes range from simple signature/rhythm to more challenging, so you can pick what you want to read. A nice...

I don't have the Mini Mo but we do have the Kid-Mo. Not at all the same, but in case anyone stops by here thinking you are asking about the small mando, I want to say that it is pretty great. It's my...

Thanks; just ordered 3 for my trio and they'll be here Friday!

My one "mandolin injury" forced me into a slight obsession with ukuleles during my rest period, so be careful and get medical advice soon. Good luck for a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your generosity! My friends and I have your 2015 and 2017 books, and are ready to purchase the 2018 as soon as they are back in stock. Our little trio plays exclusively from your books...

I just received my book today and am happy to say that the hymns (at least the first 5) are not too difficult for me. I'm slow, of course, but with practice can get smoother. My tenor guitar is...

MusicNotes.com, and likely other sheet music places, has it in her original key, Bb. Usually the music there can be transposed before purchase, but I noticed this one is available in Bb only and does...

Your headstock is magnificent; what a great job she did!

That's a beautiful, soothing piece of music there, played quite nicely. Thanks for sharing it

My condolences to you

I was out and about today, stopped by two 7-Elevens and two Circle Ks. Looks like the CD hasn't made it to the OKC metro, which, of course, makes me want it all the more.

A hearty thanks to Martin for occasionally posting 3- or 4-part instrumentations of some of Evelyn's arrangements in the SAW group. That's how I found these books. And a big thanks to Evelyn for...

Thanks for posting. I have four harmony instruments from my childhood (the '60s) and I appreciated the photo tour and info.

I, too, had a trigger that began my tennis elbow, and even after giving that up, playing the mandolin continued to aggravate it for 3 more years. A member here told me about Salonpas (I used small),...

I second Baldassari's Evergreen, but the one that actually gets the most play is Brian Oberlin's Christmas Solo Swing. There is something about one man singing with his mandolin, and nothing else,...

Raffi does have at least one song book that has songs from his first 3 CDs. I got it from Amazon. Also, The Best Children's Songs Ever, which has a LOT of Disney songs in addition to good old...

Have you looked at musicnotes.com for what you want? You can find different arrangements for different instruments (sometimes) and even order it in a choice of keys (usually) ranging from about $3 to...

My dad taught me how
To play when he was living;
The songs carry on

Ruby, pick any of the 299 tunes you like, take as long as you need to learn it, then post it when you are ready. That will move that tune up to a current spot and folks will see it and listen! A lot...

I understand your excitement, Ruby. I had always used one of those flimsy wire stands until three years ago when my daughter gave me this stand. It has never tipped over, it can hold an assortment of...

Thank you -- it was fun, but messy, to create. I never did light it; wish I had.

You know what? I WILL write a letter. I've always walked away and taken my money elsewhere, but I can see that 1 1/2 years later I am still bitter.
