    Bart, I alternate between guitar and mando on a daily basis ... some days both. I generally play/practice anywhere between 1 - 2 hours. That playing session was a tad longer than usual, but not by...

    Re: Sore thumb ... think its from a V neck

    Thanks for the replies. I may be applying a lot of pressure ... my thumb seems to be telling me so. I'm not too sure what to do differently, it seems like the action on both my acoustic mandos is...

    Thanks, forestf5 & lorraine!

    Re: Mandolin Set-up E-Book by Rob Meldrum

    Another grateful recipient here! I didn't know whether to start a whole new 'Thanks Rob' thread or add to this one. I guess my comments and well wishes to him belong here.

    Robert: Wow ... you're good. All you had to go on was my first name and you found me on here AND made the connection to my Loar order you just setup and shipped. Do ALL your [satisfied] customers...

    Bart:

    You hit the nail on the head ... I do need to resist the urge to spend money for its own sake. As you said, I need to settle on an instrument and learn to play it/listen to it/own it.

    I...

    Bart:

    No argument the instrument would be better off in experienced hands. I'm a greenhorn, but I did do my research and examined things pretty closely.

    Specifically the clearance under each...
