Well, if Collings believes in using torrefied tops, then I have to believe that there is something to it. I have heard from a reliable, knowledgeable guitar player who has played hundreds of guitars...
I've played a nice Loar F5 at IBMA, and I have played Mike Compton's current Gilchrist Model 5 a few times (which is dry with great depth and loud as all get out), but my favorite EVER was a Carl...
Exactly. Choose similar tunes that are easier (even much easier) is the way to go along with short, specific picking exercises to get your pickstrokes correct and fluid at a slow tempo, staying...
I have said, more than once, to one of my younger students, "I like more modern music, like the 90s and early 2000s", and they give me the strangest look. :confused:
Thanks NDO, I was thinking that a space blanket might save a bit of the warmth already harbored in the mandolin and case, but obviously, not. I know that, for example, wrapping a room temperature...
I wonder if it would work to wrap it tightly in one or two space blankets? Has anyone used those?
Very cool! I do wonder, however, why the word "FOREVER" is crossed out (?)
I have several students with arthritis and their best results has come from receiving very excellent professional physical therapy. Buying a hand exerciser has a very repetitive motion and that might...
Sounds like they don't want a mandolin player in the band and/or they are a "clique", money may be involved, or as someone already stated, they lack imagination and are stereotyping mandolin. I have...
I have 12 year old mandolin that I really like a lot, but the E course needed a bit more volume and cut. I had tried many different strings and medium gauge DR rare phosphor bronze seemed to work...
I've been in quite a few bands and it never has worked out with anyone drinking on stage. I guess it depends on how intoxicated one gets and how it effects an individual's personality and quality of...
It depends on what one terms as "moderately" priced and "A+++." But even if some wiggle room is given to those definitions, I think the chances are slim. You CAN, however, find a particular...
The first step for anyone learning mandolin is to have a decent sounding one that has as good a setup for easy playability. I am no actual expert on ADHD but I did teach elementary, middle school,...
Simply awesome!
It's difficult to be certain, but it looks like these have a standard rounded or "rolled" edge, sometimes called a standard or neutral bevel. The Dunlop Primetones in this color seem to all have a...
Not the murdered man ballads? :confused:
How about banning murder ballads? <just kidding!> :grin:
[QUOTE=jaycat;1928666]The only song I have ever banned at any of my jams is "Sylvia's Mother." It's my jam, and I don't like it, and that's reason enough.
Got a chuckle out of that mention....
:disbelief: Yeah, if you DO have the cash for a Gilchrist Model 5 and... Oh, LOOK! You buy this instead... :confused:
Does these work?

I am in awe of all of these gifted players. I am enjoying following Wyatt's career and believe that we are witnessing who will become one of the greatest mandolin players of all time, developing his...
Mid-tier could mean roughly $3,000 to some, $5,000 or more to others. You can spend less than that and get a pretty nice mandolin. You'll get more for your money, in most cases, if you buy an A-style...
David Benedict has some good advice on budget starter mandolins:
