And it wasn't Sterling before the Euro either, it was the Irish pound, or punt (since 1927, btw).
A recent thread about a weak high E string when plugged in prompted me to pose this question. It seems to me that well respected luthiers very often use high end pickups but tend to negotiate a...
Yeah, that is true. I think it may be better in the West (Galway) than in the East, but it still isn't up to East Coast USA standards by any stretch. I have a brother in law who is a doctor in...
The Spaghetti Western probably is a genre but movies should not be confused with their themes. Film music per se is not actually a genre.

I restrung an instument about a year ago with half-rounds but played it only a few minutes. It was hanging up. I picked it up yesterday and it sounded fine. This made me wonder. The string were...
Reijaards Headless Jazz guitar, model Rogen 2024 - Reijaards Guitars I have just finished a brand new Reijaards Rogen, it's the fifth in a row. Previous models have been sold to the Netherlands,...
