Thanks to all for being here!
I moved from the So Cal tall pines area where I had to have all instruments cased, to the San Diego area where the humidity inside hovers around 50%, and leaving them all out on stands. The problem...
Nice and very helpful forum, and for the most part very nice people here without the big egos.
Thanks for posting this Carl. Ken Burns touched on this in "History Of Country Music". Sweet little "Stand By Your Man" Tammy Wynette. I had no idea...
Thanks Rob!
Nice picking and nice touch with a Crowded House song, and coming from a great state with real people. :mandosmiley: Thanks for posting dang.
I also would be interested in some drop in replacement tuners LB. Someone suggested Grover 309's, but from what I read they are for F's, not A's?
I think you're right on the money Allen, and the...
Also, the 505 comes with a hard case, not a gig bag like the 305. I don't really care about the hard case as the mando just sits out on a stand like my guitars, but for only $244 more I could have...
Thanks for sending mine.
My bad. It's "From A Jack To A King" by Ned Miller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJEs2uM7zaM I don't think Ned wanted to be a Queen. Duh.
I thought that was "From A Jack To A Queen". No? Nice song.
Very nice of you to this Rob! Thanks,
Frank
I'm guessing you can't use the Taylor Method to string a mando with regular (74's)? I never tried it, but wondering.
I'm sure you know to keep her playing and not throwing it down in pain (sounds like me...) you need a really good setup.
Welcome to the forum Cap!
Yep, the tuners are not great, but the funny thing is they are much better now. I did lube them, but haven't lubed the nut slots yet, so I'm wondering if the slots are loosening up.
As far as the...
Marcus, I no longer have the 515 after deciding I would never play mando again, I sold it. I actually like the sound of the 305 better, and the guy I bought the 305 from (you all know him) felt the...
I haven't even learned much of anything other than my old songs, and already catching a bit of the "forum fever" looking around at other Mandos.
My question is; would the sound of a higher end...
Fees and regulations are hurting all truckers, and the young are just not getting into it. I'm not sure if it's a Ca. thing, but you have to be 21 to drive big rigs, and the kids fresh out of high...
What about 9's just to learn on?
From what I understand It's getting so hard for truckers to make a living with all the restrictions, and cost of fuel going up and up along with everything else, they are just getting out of it with...
Forgot to mention I bought the 305 from the Mandolin store with their pro setup, but to me the action seems as though it could come down a bit more. The problem I have now is finding someone who...
Was wondering if others (beginners?) are having problems with sore finger tips using 74's/mediums? I was doing all right with playing about 30 min. per day, healing for 24 hrs., but now they are...
That was fantastic! Thanks for putting up that unbelievable talent!
