To be clear, we are not wanting to play together, only to perform for each other. We took yesterday off to regroup. Zoom works great for spoken word but it’s horrible for playing anything. Very high...

Northfield has done a fabulous job with aesthetics on the F5S. It just looks classier than an MF or an F9 for thousands less. Only one thing bothers me, and it’s directly related to cost. The backs...
I have played both. I have quit commenting on Girouard mandolins. I have played a few Pava and they all have a wonderful clarity, nice resonance and I’d be happy to own one. Collings is a brighter...
Over reaction sure. But every time I read someone suggesting any interaction whatever, like, I can go over and visit my girl friend, or I can go down to the hardware store and get stuff for that...
Any suggestions welcome. Three of us are going to test multiple platforms tomorrow. We are forecasting a two month run. We have a Facebook group page where folks can post videos, but we were hoping...
If it were the host paying for a platform everyone could use, that would be fine, but I cant see a dozen people doing that. We bought the venue we use $1500 worth of QSC speakers, a mixer, new mic...
This week me and two others set up a Zoom meeting we thought would lead to a virtual open mic night. On our final beta test we found a serious problem, since researched and we found out what works...
Binding generally comes loose looking at the top from the front. I agree with those who suggest back issues. Also, if you want to sell it, a more known builder like Ratliff, Silverangel, or a Weber...
I take a bluegrass pick and use the holes as a template to drill holes in my Dippers. Different strokes....
I played one back to back with a Waterloo. The Waterloo was better, but not nearly twice the cost better. We live in a great time of affordable instruments.
EVERY inexpensive mandolin needs a setup. The cheaper the mandolin, the more it needs one. A professional would charge at least $50. So Rob Meldrum is the way to go. But I’d buy an Eastman 300 series...
What part of social distancing do you guys not understand? Does it only apply to everyone else, or only if it isn’t inconvenient to you? When it shows up in your area, it’s too late.
Acoustic Guitar Forum. Let’s Talk Guild, but haven’t been able to connect lately. Defunct?
You have to pay to use the AGF classifieds.
Even those of us with a modest amount of experience, four years in my case, and who live in relative mandolin heaven, don't have access to very many brands, particularly one man shops. We each can...
My daughter was house hunting a few years ago in LA and were looking at a little bungalow at an open house. Kevin Bacon was there with one of his kids house hunting. I don't know who ended up with...
It’s already the second. Some just catch on quicker. I was in Gryphon one time and a young woman came in to the store and thinking I worked there asked for help. After setting her straight, I said...
That truly sucks. You should at least be able to do a drive by, and have them throw it into your trunk. Perhaps they could mail it to you.
You could certainly go to J74s, and probably J 75s. I use J74s on my A1.
I've watched this maybe thirty times and it never gets old. The thing with music schools is they all have projects that need collaboration, so they all help each other out. Someone is a great...
After three weeks, it's not the actual change, I'm retired and maybe went out twice a week, but the psychology of can't that's getting to me. That, and everyone you see is a potential killer.
Once in a while I get serious. This is the time. We have but one tool to get a handle on this. Without the ability to test, it is each person's job to assume you are positive, just asymtomatic....
Stock up on flour. That way you can bake bread. Flour is in short supply here.
Stock up on eggs.
Stock up on your favorite libation.
Make sure you have extra strings.
Don't forget cookies....
You had me hook, line and sinker, and a bad joke to boot!
Good for Eastman. You may just be able to slip the new saddle onto the old base and save yourself from fitting the new bridge.
Be grateful if you are still employed. My son in law is a senior engineer designing chips in Silicon Valley. He hates the management aspect and would rather just do the science. He’s really happy to...
