I'm surprised Andrew Hendryx hasn't been mentioned. "Widening Circles" released in 2020, has a few pieces that are undoubtedly electric mandolin, not amplified acoustic, not a tiny guitar. ...
"Start Me Up" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" aren't the same in standard tuning. Not even close. When I first played my Emando (JBbouvier) 5-string upon unpacking, the Stones "Sad, Sad,...
Andrew Hendryx new release "Widening Circles" has, to me, a bit more latitude than many others that feature electric mandolin. It's undoubtedly mandolin. His style and tones are purely electric,...
Mandolin was to be my shutdown hobby just a year ago. Very quickly it replaced the guitar after 40 years. I also have an Octave.
As for the picks, I’ve always been a little...selective, to avoid...
This would do it for you, but might be a tad expensive: Milwaukee Tool MX FUEL CARRY-ON 3600W/1800W Li-Ion Battery Powered Portable Power Station Generator W/ 2 Batteries - about $3,000.00
I string my Steinberger convertible to have the best of both worlds of bari guitar/mandocello growl and octave mandolin in 5 strings CGDAE. The C is below the guitar's low E, giving a bit more...
Rick Neilson of Cheap Trick plays one on a few of their earlier recordings, including a song called "Mandocello". That's where I first heard of one, but oddly, never found any other artists of that...
Thanks so much for this! These are good quality tracks to play along with.
FWIW, I bought my Mitchell mandolin a year ago at a decent shop for $56. I traded it in at another shop a few months later and got $75. They aren't great value, but it was fun to learn on, and made...
I have an Eastman MD505 with a K&K and use a Vox MV50AC (micro amp) into a 12" Bugera cab. I've also tried my ZT Lunchbox with the same cab (and also it's 6" speaker) and a Bugera acoustic amp, but...
The other advantage with a 4-string electric is that you can add effects, including a slight detune/delay/chorus to make it sound more like 2 courses.
I'm new to mandolin but have been playing guitar forever. I haven't been able to gig on a plugged-in mando yet, but I've been experimenting a bit. I've found that a little bit of an octave pedal...
I love the look with the walnut finish. I've wanted to hear one and hadn't seen any YouTube videos of that model yet. What are you using for an amp?
Yes, it did work when I synced the phone to a laptop, which I hadn't needed to do since I got the phone.
Thanks, all! Great music mentioned above. Mario Poletti's "One Man One Mandolin" is a timely release too. It's just what I was looking for, as well as many of the suggestions above. An issue I'm...
It's not that I don't like to hear singers. I just find solo mandolin more inspiring, plus I'm not a very good singer. That being said, I hate guys like Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Vince Gill...
I'm looking for recordings of SOLO mandolin, along the lines of Evan Marshall. No accompaniment, no singing, no banjo, no duet, just ONE mandolin... or mandola, mandocello, OM. Different genres...
My first video posts on the cafe. A couple brief tributes to Tom Petty for what would have been his 70th birthday a few weeks ago.

I'd say most of the retail advertisers on the Cafe are Eastman distributors. I bought mine at Bernunzio in Rochester, NY and Mass St Music near Kansas City. I highly recommend both.
I still say that George Harrison is actually the most influential guitarist the world has ever known. His playing is what initially lead millions to put down the accordion and pick up a guitar. ...
Great thread! I haven't been playing long but because of some of these unexpected things, I haven't picked up the guitar in months.
1) Chord melody is a bit more simplified, IMO. Fewer strings...
I bought my first two mandolins for $40 and $50 earlier this year, caught the mando bug, and sold them for $160 combined later, which went toward an Eastman MD505. If the price is right, have at it....
Covid hobby turned to obsession. Started getting rid of guitars. No guitar jones for the first time since I was 13 (43 years).
That alone was worth the price paid.
I have to wonder, how did you get it from the buyer then back and forth from the nursing home? I'm thinking you're in a large urban area.
I'm an anti-sunburst guy, so for me it was an Eastman MD415GD, which won my blind tone contest against an MD315 and MD305.
