  1. Re: Can anyone top this amount of Blue Chip pick wear?

    Well, that's impressive! I've got 3 BlueChip CT picks - I've only used one so far. It's got around a few places, so I'm surprised I thankfully haven't lost it. I only use one corner and have...

    I hope they nail whoever started it... nail them to the nearest fence post and let the buzzards have at 'em.

    No disrepect taken; you make many valid points. It boggles my mind too that people will keep returning to and rebuilding in high-risk areas. I'm still new to this forum and wasn't aware this was a...

    Re: MuseScore software

    It seems pretty nice - I guess there will be some significant UI improvements in the works based on what I've heard, so it should be even better, I hope. I've been using Sibelius for a long time, so...

    Any compression in vertebrae starting with C5 through C7 (including the C8 spinal nerve) can cause all sorts of problems down the arms and hands. Numbness or tingling are common but not universal...

    So sad to hear. This situation is truly frightening; the air has been so swamped in smoke, yesterday, it was so dark with smoke it looked like twilight at lunchtime. We just can't catch a break...

    Re: Just received my first mandolin :)

    Welcome to the party! As others have said, it is an addiction; I practically have to force myself to put down the mandolin so I can get my practice time in on bass :)

    Re: Ideas for what could be rattling on Mandolin!

    My KM1000 does exactly the same thing but only if I play a bit harder. I noticed the action at the nut is very low, but it also does it on fretted strings, not just open strings, so not sure that's...

    Re: Steve Earl and his Gibson mandolins

    All that jewelry on his right wrist makes me cringe a bit with thoughts of it chewing up varnish and wood. Either way, big love to Steve Earle - another of the many reasons I wanted to play mandolin.

    Re: Better tone with light strings?

    I'm using EJM75C ("Medium Plus" Monel set) which are 11, 14, 25, 41. I love the "played-in" sound of the Monel strings (and their longevity), but my feeling on the 41 G is that it sounds a bit......
