  2. Re: Bluegrass Mandolin Jam Tunes by Rick Williams any good?

    Looks cool, but he specifically states: " Bluegrass Jam Tunes books are not available by mail; you must come to the store in person to purchase one."

    So if you don't live in Oklahoma ....

    Keeping up with the Fiddlers

    They just want to play so dang fast, and I can't seem to do it. I can memorize the tunes, and I can play long strings of eighth notes, I just can't keep up with the fiddles I'm trying to play with.

    Funky old canvas case/gigbag ?

    I got this "case" with a 4-string converted banjo mandolin that I bought from Jake Wildwood a couple years ago. (It's a cool instrument, but I haven't played it much and am thinking of trading it...

    I'm in the greater Derry area. I bought a case late last year from a couple in Concord who told me about the group. They are probably part of your circle as she also mentioned playing with the...

    Re: Hello All!

    Hey Garrett, are you familiar with the NH Scottish Music Club in Concord?

    I haven't been, but was told about it by someone who attends, and it sounds kind of cool.

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    I wonder if those electronics are sealed with waterproof controls. If not, it defeats the purpose just a tad. I've spilled coffee on both sealed and unsealed keyboards, and there is a difference.

    I wasn't. But I'm a newbie in more ways than one :)
  13. Re: anyone seen/tried a B&J two point like this?

    I would. If only for the rose on the back :mandosmiley:

    Also, a quick google says B&J is apparently a New York distributor. Could this be one of the first two-point Strad-O-Lins?

    I was under the impression that structured vs unstructured had more to do with whether it was adjustable or not. I see that I'm also in the demographic of people that didn't know how much there was...

    NFI, but this instrument looks like a great deal to me for a price of $2500.

    Re: Strad-O-Lin Circa 1940?

    I was thinking about that. I paid almost exactly the same amount for a tailpiece. The tuners could be worth something, too, but at least one looks bent.

    Actually, I hope it doesn't get parted out....
