Poe 14 for trade

Hi all, I posted this on the Mandolin Cafe and thought I would post it here in the event that not everyone lurks around the classifieds there. I've decided to trade my Poe F5. This is a great mandolin with some fine appointments, and sounds great too, but I just can't deal with the neck on

Re: Practising

I think you and I could learn something from each other, Robin. My biggest problem is my tendency to do FAR too much noodling without any kind of structure. All of my discoveries have been accidental and I think my improvement in terms of technique has been slowed because of the lack of

Re:New mando

Hey Trey, I appreciate it. It does have an elevated fretboard. I'm actually pretty taken with that round sound it has. I would really love to have bought an older Gibson, but it seems like so many have repaired top cracks, etc. I guess I'd rather do all the breaking myself. Thanks again,

Re: New Mando

Thanks Mike, I appreciate it. Yeah, I can barely take care of myself so I try to limit my responsibilities. Since my son was born I gave up shaving and eating fruit to balance things out. Adding an older Gibson seemed like it might pitch things out of my favor again. Still really liking

Thanks Jonas. That one is a "white whale" tune for me, meaning that I just seem to chase it and chase it but never get it. It'll straighten out eventually, I suppose. Thanks again. -- Original message from Jonas Mattebo jonas.matt...@gmail.com: -- That's

Fatten up is the best phrase to describe it. I was looking for a good way to describe this recently and all I had was "flesh it out", which sounds like something I would do to a shitty project plan at work. -- Original message from 14strings perrypale...@gmail.com:

Re: Monroe Camp 2009

The one topic that I think would benefit me most is not necessarily just the review of tunes that Monroe wrote or made popular, but an exploration of improvisation in the Monroe or Compton style. I think I saw this mentioned in conjunction with the Compton seminar being hosted by Jim

Re: New Quandry

That pretty well freaks me out, Mike. I keep my mandolin hanging on one of those wall-mount jobs. I hate to put it in the case since I take it down every day. I try to keep a humidifier running in the room during winter when the gas heat has a tendency to dry everything out. It usually

I agree with you about Rawlings, Jonas. I got the chance to see him play in a small setting and it was all hard downstrokes ala Monroe. A tremendous guitarist. I don't think he gets his due... -- Original message from "Jonas Mattebo" jonas.matt...@gmail.com: --

This same instrument was featured in a bluegrass band on the PBS series "Song of the Mountains" a few months ago. I think it might have been a University group and they had a short, smiling fellow come out and do some fantastic fiddle tunes along with them. Haven't been able to find a

Re: It Was Bound to Happen Sooner or Later...

I feel your pain, Petimar. I waited for my Poe mandolin for a year, had it shipped overnight in a Calton. When it arrived, I opened the case and looked inside...and there was the broken headstock scroll. Hadn't even played a single note. -- Original message from Petimar
