OTHER INSTRUMENT FORUMS


Recommended Posts

www.mandolincafe.com is huge and the forums are very fast moving with lots of people posting. I enjoyed it a lot in my "mandolin days." Some extremely skilled people posting in the instrument makers forum in particular.

 

www.fiddlehangout.com is nice, very US-centric but some nice discussions running. (I believe there's also www.banjohangout.com, but of course, I've never been there. -_- )

 

Both sites seem to be well moderated, not too many rules, but decency prevails. (Which is nice.)

Reyes Accordions is 99.9374517354 % 3 row Tex Mex Conjunto Norteno style discussion; a little Vallenato.. but miniscule.

 

My observation .. it is rare to find something of true interest and value there.. but there is the occasional nugget of wisdom.

 

They also seem ( note I said "seem" ) to resent intrusion and are very defensive when facts are introduced to contest misinformation.

 

In spite of the modest quality and grossly obscene prices of Gabbanellis , many have bought into the myth and defend them to the death

 

There is a major division between the Hohner players and the Gabb defenders of the faith. This has been going on for years and its 12,436 th chapter.
