Re: Tips on getting more volume out of a 3 week old Mando?
Agree with Jim Garber above. Playing and practicing with proper tone will be more beneficial than banging away for more volume. If it's volume you want amplify it with a pick up, mic or whatever. IMHO the mandolin is not, by its very nature and design, meant to be a volume instrument. Much more nuanced like its kin, the fiddle / violin.
