Thank you Beanzy. I will have fun checking out that app as well as ForScore. It's definitely new (to me) technology to reduce some of the "clutter".

Thanks Brian. ForScore looks quite interesting.
Thank you Tom and Beanzy!
I have noticed many, many professional classical musicians (not too many mandolinists) are using Bluetooth foot operated page turners when performing. If anyone is familiar with these devices, could...
By the way - I have the mediums on my Lyon & Healy and Phoenix - but the TI heavy's on my Collings. I doubt that most people could feel or hear the difference between the two sets. Also, the now...
The 154 mittels is what everybody uses, including me. They work just fine.

I have to agree with you Dean. Thank you for posting!
I believe John Turner had the most authentic Scottish fiddle music you will ever hear. Check out his CD's at

Here's a video of a soprano mandolin. Holy Moly!!!!! Quite cool!

Thanks Bob. That totally clears it up about piccolo mandolins!
I know in the world of violins, a dance master's kit or pochette, , was a very specific instrument like the one you see in the link...
This is an interesting thread - thank you Jim. But what exactly is the difference between a piccolo, pocket, and modern day travel mandolin? I've always been fascinated with "pochette" violin "kits"...
Stumbled on the same video today and did a search to see if her name was on Mandolin café. What a great video, and I love the happy carefree way in which she plays exclamation.
Another mandolin favored by classical players is the Phoenix Neoclassical. The two person shop ceased production in 2015. They are incredible mandolins. You will find high praise for them on numerous...
I would agree with Flatrock's assessment. My Lyon & Healy definitely feels different than my two more "modern" mandolins. It feels different because of the string spacing. For me, it just took time...
Very, very cool!
Absolutely.
There are various ways to hold a pick as exemplified by partners Mike Marshall and Caterina Lichtenburg. Mike holds a pick similar to Chris Thile. Caterina holds the pick in a very different way as...
Sue, your quote from Zen Guitar is excellent :-)
You played some L&H mandolas - oh what a treat that must have been! And yes, I'm envious LOL!
The first would be the Lyon & Healy Model A played by Frank Solivan at Mandolin Brothers. It's the most incredible mandolin I've ever seen - even if it was only through the internet:

A week later I have to retract my comments about the Gator Journeyman case. The lid developed a warp and became difficult to close. I returned it for a replacement. The second one had a similar...
Matt -
I agree. That video is a superb approach - and that's what I'll use for practice. . Thanks so much for helping!!!
As Jim, Erich and others say, it's a matter of preference and perhaps genre. I would also suggest that every mandolin is unique. Two similar mandolins out of the same small shop might sound and feel...
Ky -
Yes. Here is a portion of "Oblivion" by Piazzola. I hope you can see the image well enough. Thank you.
