    Re: Octave Mandolin (GDAE) vs Mandola (CGDA)

    This discussion has really been helpful. Since I was open to either option, I went with the first temptation that crossed my path. I'm waiting for it to arrive so can't comment on that decision yet....

    Re: Best Android Tablet >10" for Sheet Music

    Thanks Barry.

    Ultimately, I may yield to making the transition, but I'll keep looking for now. Chromebooks seem to offer more choices in the size range we need, but I just started looking at them.

    OK so it's been a few years since the last post on this thread, but it's exactly what I'm currently researching. Thanks! I brought my 2015 Breedlove American KF to a local luthier to install a K&K...

    oops, just noticed I'm repeating myself. Sign of aging, I guess.

    Thank you for posting the Nazareth site. I'm newly introduced to Brazilian choros and now have yet another pursuit! So much music, so little time.

    Mandophile, I so appreciate this group sharing their knowledge of this instrument and genre. It makes the whole experience more enriching. BTW, I couldn't find a recording of "Stella" to guide me...

    Thank you so much! Your comments are encouraging. First though, I suspect from your PS comment that my soundcloud profile pic may be, er… a bit misleading. That was taken a long, long time ago,...

    I haven't been online here for a while but wanted to share a couple of mazurkas I attempted from the drop box. They're rough, but you have to start somewhere, right?

    Also, I hadn't fully...

    Re: Italian Mazurkas Anyone?

    Thank you David. It looks like I hit the jackpot! The volume of material is huge; so to not be overwhelmed, I'll have to figure out where to wade in.

    Italian Mazurkas Anyone?

    Hi, newbie here.

    I just inherited a Gibson A40 that belonged to my uncle. It's been somewhat neglected for many years so it's in the shop getting new tuners and strings. I've been asked to...
