Tom Aebi has recorded two albums with the disbanded formation "Kesh". I have one cd, should I send you 2-3 mp3s?

Thank you MTGuru for your uplifting words :) I got my Johnson Octave Mandolin today and I'm quite satisfied with it. BUT somehow it had the wrong strings on it for a GDAD tuning so I replaced them with d'Addario strings well but guess what happened. The D'Addario strings (the low G and D) are too th...

Something must be really wrong with that instrument. I gave it to a luthier, he polished some things and adjusted the bridge but that "lovely" thing still doesn't want to play in tune. So this must me one of that Hora instruments that it is not really playable. Still thank you for your ans...

Thank you very much everyone! I tried the "12th fret" tipp and the intonation is good (not exactly the same with every string but on average good). I made a mistake before, the scale is sharp not flat. I also noticed that the intonation gets better the higher the fret. So, according to the...

Thanks for your answer. Yeah, I guess the intonation is wrong. I tune the instrument with an electric tuner that all the open strings (GDAD) play in tune.

Everything went fine, the pipes sang like they should and I haven't had to do anything on the chanter/reed. The next issue is: Why does the time on stage go by so freaking fast? We played 75 minutes but I felt like playing for 45... Well, my thanks then goes to Mr. Vignoles for that good reed :) Onc...

Thank you very much for your replies, helped me a lot

Well I'll see what happens tomorrow... Don't want to be a shame for O'Carolan

Our band Amhrán has its first amplified concert on saturday. The location is not that big but can get quite hot and the Irish night where we play is always attended by a lot of people. So, I don't know if there are similar topics already (I guess so) but I would like to have your opinion what is imp...
