Very good mandolin work. The neck on this mandolin looks wider than most. Is it? Thanks for the post.

[tonedr]

thanks for the kind post and giving this a listen....my mando neck is 'standard' width - Collings does make offer a wider nut width. All the best with your music,

Nicely played Tonedr!

Tylda; Tonedr is playing Butch Baldassari's version in 30 fiddle tunes. Very recommended mandolinbook by a nice man who had to leave us far to early.

[tonedr]

thanks for the kind and informative post....agreed, BB was a great player/person gone too soon.

peace,

great playing as always. i just bought a couple of mandolins. being a guitarist, it was a real shock to feel the difference btwn the small spaces btwn the frets compared to the guitar.

[tonedr]

glad to hear about your mandos!  There is a big difference in feel isn't there. I think it helps as a guitarist because you have to be so accurate on the mando - thanks for giving this a listen and i hope you enjoy your new instrument,

Fantastic, Thanks! Love the musicality of this tune coming through. It really helps to hear the melody brought into the spotlight when I'm trying to learn a song.

[tonedr]

dale

[missinhome]

man oh man.....i wanna learn that song just like that.....i loved it. I have been playin guitar for a long time, but could never pick lead...i just bought my first mandolin, and can play irish washerwoman. but i want to learn so much more. any way you could slow that down for me?

[tonedr]

hello, so great to hear about your music! The mando is such a great instrument...I appreicate your request and i'll give it some thought. All the best,

dale

[stowilsco]

That was awesome. Whiskey Before Breakfast was the very first tune I learned on the mando. And, Collings makes some of the best mandolins IMHO, is that a MT, MT2, or MT2V?

[tonedr]

hello! It is a great old tune - i sure appreciate you watching. Mine is a MT2V - i am really thankful to have it. What do you play?

[stowilsco]

Thanks for the reply. I've got a blond MT2

[tonedr]

sounds sweet! I'm sure it is nice - keep in touch,

dale

[delaloom]

Thanks for replying, I have been playing for a little over 5 months. I would sure like to see you play Hop the Fence, what do you think?

Luke

[tonedr]

hey Luke, hope your doing great these days and getting in some picking time! You keep with it my friend. I may give that tune a shot, i like it. Please keep in touch,

dale

[delaloom]

May I ask how long you have been playing mandolin for?

[tonedr]

absolutely, i've been playing about 5 years, guitar is certainly what I put most time in but the mandolin is such a great insturment i had to start. I sure appreciate you watching,

dale

[folklure]

You're so gifted, Dale. I'm YOUR fan, Bernd.

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Good advice: Don't drink before breakfast, my friend. (But if such a fine music comes out of it ... mayme? sometimes?) ;)

[tonedr]

the feeling is shared! I'm glad I have connected with you and your great music - if only the distance wasn't so far.

Your friend
