Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

September 16, 2006 | Chronic MAS

Mandolin Acquisition Syndrome or MAS can be a life-impacting condition, and we've certainly got a chronic case around it here. With a James Condino Striped Ebony mandolin in the JazzMando Lab for official review and his lovely green Cricket on the way, we fear one of them may not get returned...

Recent pictures from the woodbench of eccentric wizard/luthier Bill Bussmann also has us tingling with delight; latest picture of our 4-string Alto Guitar/Jazz Mandola, AKA "Solocomp" is close to final stages. Englemann top, 335 Jazzbox body, we're aiming for an instrument to give us maximum Chord Melody playing style abilities.

Looks like a winner!
