    Re: LRTI surgery

    I had it done on my left thumb, and need it to be done to the right one, also. In my case, they did not use a tendon, but what I called high tension fish line. The rehab was short, and the recovery...

    Re: Mandobird pickup replacement ideas

    My Mandobird VIII has an Almuse pickup and a Moongazer bridge, and is a joy to play. For new pickups, it appears that Lace has a emando pickup on the market. I know nothing about it, but it might...

    Re: Surgery for arthritis...

    For all of you playing with arthritic hands, let me mention again that Voltarin might give you a lot of relief. It's over-the-counter, and at Sam's Club it's packaged with 2 large tubes and one...

    Re: VERY quiet mandolin for practicing?

    An Mandobird VIII fills the bill for me. Quiet, paired strings, and easy to fret.

    Re: Surgery for arthritis...

    My recovery time was shorter than a joint replacement. I was in a splint, padding, and all wrapped in an ace bandage for a couple of weeks. Then the stitches were taken out and I was put in a...

    Re: Surgery for arthritis...

    They did a Mini TightRope technique on my left thumb. It relieved 99% of the pain and problems, and the recovery period was shorter. Sooner or later I will have to have it done on my right thumb,...

    I use the rectangle for my 814v. It also worked for my Jessen A-oval.

    I haven't played a 815v, but I have an 805D and a 814v, and I love both of them. My fingers are not long or slim, and the neck feels good to me. Double stops are no problem, either. I have no...

    Re: What PA gear brands do you favor?

    I'm still analog, and the group does all kinds of music, so my/our needs might be a bit different. I use an Allen and Heath GL2400 mixer, EV speakers and subs, old Sonic moniters, and QSC amps. ...

    If it's a thumb that is the chief culprit, as it is in my case, the Dr. did what's called trapezium suspension surgery. I was able to fret 6-7 weeks after the surgery. I will have to have it done...
