"Y'all come again when y' cain't stay so long!"
I noticed this too. Very mysterious. But Frank has always been able to bend Time and Space, so why not music as well?
Beautiful playing! What mandolin are you using?
Actually, Charles E., at present I have custody of a D'Aigle autoharp, which happens to have micro-adjustable Allen-screw tuners on each string. So even with my crappy ears, using my Cleartune tuner,...
:)) - mine too.
Thanks, Mike - James wrote 26:1 in his post, but you're probably correct that these are the ones he's talking about.
Thanks for the reply, James. You're fortunate to have a Givens, and I hope the day that you can't play is far in the future!
I've never seen a Grover tuner with a ratio that high. You don't happen...
Sunburst - they did change the guitar tuners, so apparently it can happen. I wonder why they now offer the high-ratio ones for guitar in addition to the regular flavor. Seems to me they must have...
Certainly true of my technique, CarlM!
Sounds like those 24:1 tuners were made from substandard metal. I'd guess that Waverly's higher-ratio tuners are well-engineered and won't have that problem. If I break any teeth on my Waverly 21:1...
Yeah, Sunburst, I know a lot of people don't even notice their tuning machines - they just use 'em. But as I get older I find that small deviations from what I perceive as "in tune" bother me more....
Mike, I vaguely remember those 24:1 tuners. Do you remember who made them, and whether they were decent quality?
In any case, I thought it was interesting that Waverly decided to offer their...
With the digital tuners of today, it's possible to tune stringed instruments very precisely - the one I use (on my cell phone) will measure to a tenth of a cent. (Even with my not-great ears, I can...
As Allen says, in the mid 60s the instrument that got the most attention from the new (college, northern) bluegrass audience was the banjo! Many record labels with bluegrass releases saw this and...
Terrific from every point of view - playing, instrument, audio, tunes!
What a giant talent Charlie was! A powerful voice and one of the best bluegrass rhythm guitar players ever. His right hand was a marvel to see.
That was indeed the problem. Thanks again.

Many thanks, Scott. Likely is the problem.

The issue seems to be that the individual replying to you entered their email address incorrectly so...
Today I got a reply to ad #181616; when I tried to send a return email to the prospective buyer, I got an error message back "550 blocked".
I'm not very computer-savvy, so I'm not sure what this...
Fretbear, do you know who the other singers/players are on this? Sounds like first-rate talent.
I love David M.'s playing, the way he sticks to the bluegrass straight-and-narrow. And there can't be many Loars as good as his.
Eloquently said, Allen.
Wow! Nice job! How long did the fifth one take you to make?
Three wonderful-sounding mandolins! The F2 is the surprise to my ears - can easily imagine Paul Williams playing that one with Jimmy Martin. Of the three, the Brentrup is the one I'd want, however....
