  3. Re: Considering a trade - is it me or the mandolin

    No guidance here. I just received a Clark Two Point that I ordered a year ago. I love everything about it. Did I need it? Emphatically, no. I have a Weber Yellowstone. There was just something...

    Re: Mandolin Pricing?

    Maybe it’s a dealer problem but I have always gotten a, “This is what’s in inventory, take it or leave it.” Since I am never in a hurry to drop serious cash, I leave it.

    Re: Mandolin Pricing?

    I have a Clark on order that should be delivered any day now. Bottom line, it is built with components I want, the finish is awesome, single piece back, tuners I chose - you get the idea. None of...

    Re: Memorizing a song

    Funny thing, I remember songs much more easily than tunes. But, I can’t sing! ��

    Re: New Eastman Octave tuners?

    I just noodle around with my Eastman. Stock tuners are fine. I was also fortunate enough to find one a few years ago that was very inexpensive. I probably wouldn’t buy one at today’s prices.

    Who knows, maybe Weber will become a Bruce Weber instrument again.
  11. Re: Is The Note On The 5th Fret Of Your Mando’s “A” String a “D”?

    Depending on the humidity, my E and G courses can be perfect all the way up to the 12th fret. D and A courses wander a bit. The lower the humidity the more accurate the fretting. As the humidity...

    Re: Are travel mandolins worth it?

    I have a Ranger that I will likely sell. The tone isn’t all that robust and it just feels funny in my hands. It is as if it was designed for the left hand. Probably good for backpacking but if I am...

    Re: Ads without a price

    I rarely read the classifieds. I just don’t need a new instrument. When I do browse through the classifieds, no price is a definite turn off. It was only random luck that took me to the Weber I...

    Re: Music Store Etiquette

    Play some arpeggios up the entire fret board. C major is pretty straight forward, play all combinations of C, E, G you can find.

    Re: Pick thickness - how to choose?

    To confuse things even further, I like the BlueChip CT-55 but I like the feel of a Weber TF-140, mostly because of the tactile feel from the holes. So, I drilled holes in the CT-55 using the Tf-140...

    Re: 11 Year Old Gibson Mandolin Endorser

    I worked with a training manager who used to say that if something comes to you easily, that’s talent. You should develop it and run with it. The American ethos is to put in endless hours of hard...

    You might check with a luthier in your area. They probably run into this occasionally.

    Other than that, the usual suspects - FedEx, UPS or DHL.

    Re: Speed of bluegrass... is it just me?

    Listen to the words of Monroe’s Uncle Pen. It is all about the barn dancing. Monroe changed traditional old time music but his early years are immersed in traditional tunes.

    An Eastman MDO305 will get you started if you like the A style. There are other F’s out there or guitar body. Personally, I prefer the GBOM. Austin Clark made mine but it takes awhile to actually...
