Howdy all! I'm fairly new to the mandolin. I'm trying to learn how to play. I have an Alverez A-100E that I absolutely love! It's an "A" model with a pickup. I've played it in church some, mostly chording. I live in South Eastern Oklahoma and I was wondering if there where any mandolin players from this area (Ada area). I looking forward to meeting all of you and hopefully picking up a helpful tip or two here and there!

Hi all...I've posted a mandolin tune called, The Rio Thing, please come and check it out and give me your thoughts. Have a great day and don't forget to pick the mando for your sanity today!!

Thanks for allowing me into the group.
I play a 4-string, arch-top mandolin that I built myself. It forms part of a double necked guitar/mandolin that comes apart.
I enjoy the crisp sound of single strings and compensate by playing a lot of double stops when I do tremolo on slower numbers.
I have used it in a rock band with two overdrive pedals plugged in in line to get power and sustain. It's got a Seamore Duncan single coil guitar pickup but sounds very sweet and authentic when played clean.
Mandolin players are rare in my part of the world down here at the tip of Africa.
Merv.

In addition to the guitar I enjoy playing various mandolin family and related instruments as well so I thought I would join the group and check out the discussions. I play around with mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin, Irish bouzouki, tenor banjo, and tenor guitar. I look forward to the discussions. My mandolin playing is mostly swing not bluegrass.

Anyone ever heard of a "Piccolo Mandolin?" Gibson made one early on and I once read an article in Frets (I think) about one and it prompted me to build an instrument similar to it...Edward Sparks

Here is a link to info on my instrument:

Hey, AG did an article on how guitarist should try playing other stringed instruments...maybe Teja can look into and post it here? What do you think Teja? Edward Sparks

Hello! New here and looking forward to sharing things with other guitarist who have "picked" up the mandolin! I have one mandolin but it has an interesting story! I also own a vintage Vega banjolin. I am looking forward to being in the group! I will add more when I have a chance to wake up! Edward
