Thanks so much, today I was with someone who played Reuben which made me want to investigate D tuning. I didn't even know how to put it in D tuning. Gonna try to work out Ruben now, shouldn't be too hard!
Where do you get your pickups? I've found it difficult to find pickups meant for mandolins, so I've been looking for guitar or bass pickups that might get the job done.
Who's the mandolin player, and what did bob just walk over to him and do?
