Cool! Here's my attempt... David.

I seem to have come home with a new ukulele :0) But more about that in a moment. Recently I've been thinking about learning to play a mandolin instead of a ukulele, and in a music store near to me (Guildford, Surrey), they had a few. I looked up a few reviews, and on MandolinCafe to see what...

Electrocuting a Dolphin Cut some double-sided tape (I used carpet tape) to fit on the metal side of the transducer, and stick it on. I only covered half the transducer (see end picture). Now gently push the (6mm) knitting needle into the chassis socket and pull the socket through the body and...

Electrocuting a Dolphin Here's the transducer, I just extended the existing cables a couple of inches just to make sure it all worked... With it wired up, put a 6mm knitting needle through the you drilled and make sure that you put the nut and washer on the needle BEFORE you push it through...

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, I could be an assasin with what I know about music ;0) But I have a question - apologies if it's a dumb one... I've just bought a 1938 book listing 60 music hall variety songs, complete with full music and words. I've been learning the melody to In...
