    I had exactly the same experience - it felt like the "D Dorian is C major just starting on D" was a back-to-front way of explaining it. As you say, thinking of D dorian in relation to other D scales, especially the D minor scales made so much more sense. I did learn them for my double bass teacher, but Dorian is the only mode I've actually used. Edit: this has been rattling around in my head since Sunday, and ended up writing out some scales and modes. It puzzles me that dorian clearly fits into the 3 minor scales, but is taught very differently.

    Until a few weeks ago I'd been stuck on Boss pedals - loving the symmetry of them all lined up matching. But Christmas brought a Joyo "Oxford Sound" for my mandolin, and today I added a Donner "Harmonic Square" pitch shifter I've just bought from @Oldman. A nice pedal in a very neat little package compared to my Boss pedals.

    Oldman Feedback

    Rosie C replied to Oldman's topic in Feedback

    I bought a Donner shift pedal from Brian. Great communications, the pedal arrived promptly - good condition and everything working.

    It looks good from the back.

    Good advice. I was offered £900 for a VW Fox by one of the big car-buying companies, but their attitude bugged me because it was in nice condition for its age and they were determined to run it down. I listed it on FB marketplace at £1500, sold within 12 hours and my inbox exploded with around 70 people enquiring. So likely I could have sold it for a chunk more.

    No, for my parcels at least you get 3-4 days when the status is mysteriously "travelling to the border" which conjures up 1970s cold war spy dramas...

    Lately it's been around a week for items to arrive for me, sometimes a little longer. I'd prefer not to use Thomann but for some things they're so much cheaper than anywhere else

    Very true. My most recent was just before Christmas - guesting on piano accordion with our town brass band, and having learned a dozen carols from the Salvation Army carol book, which includes tunes in D♭ and G♭ key signatures. At the start of the second tune, an internal part attached by wax detached and that was my gig over. Of course if I'd been playing bass this would not have happened!

    Ah, sorry, I was skimming through while waiting at the GP surgery and didn't see your reply. I managed to find a soft bag for my guitar-bodied mandolin at my local music shop but it had been on display years and was very dusty - but a run through the washing machine worked wonders.

    Depending on the material, put it a washing machine?

    I have Pro 17s for playing with our Morris band. I also have the Evolve Ambient IEMs which also have a 17 dB reduction.

    Especially back in the day making round-backed lutes. I'd love to make something like this, but my woodworking skills extend only about as far as putting up a batten for a curtain rail!

    Indeed, by Jarred Cooper!

    It was not King of Kings, Lord of Lords. Nor was it King of Kings, the King of Glory Comes. In fact it was King of Kings, Majesty

    'tis indeed! After services, as people are milling for coffee, our band leader has a habit of choosing one of the hymns and playing it again but in a different time signature, or swung, just to keep us on our toes! No jazz today though, we had violin and 'cello instead of cornet.

    My own understanding is that in addition to repairs and setup of instruments, a luthier actually makes instruments too. I'm guessing the word comes from 'lute' in the deep and distant past?

    Our three core band members (keys, cornet, bass) each have the organ/piano book of "Hymns Old and New" (the green book). The congregation have the book of words to go with so that's 80% of what we play. But there's a printed sheet for each week with the readings and a suggested hymn, and that's when it gets interesting. The three of us also play in a big band together, so we're reasonably good at improvising something together.

    Oh Worship the King is the only one I already know. Our version of "Do Not Be Afraid" is in Kevin Mayhew's green "Hymns Old and New: Anglican Version". I'm taking a punt on "King of Kings" being King of Kings (Lord of Lords) from Kevin Mayhew's orange "Complete Anglican Hymns: Old and New". But there's a version in Graham Kendrick's "The Source" too.

    I've just finished preparing for tomorrow's service. Of the 5 hymns, 4 are new, so it should be particularly good experience. O Worship the King O Let the Son of God Enfold you Do Not Be Afraid King of Kings O Worship the Lord
  20. Rosie C
    I have the same one! Excellent value for what they cost.

    My favourite bass line is from "Bare Necessities" - one of the first big band bass lines I learned on double bass. It's kind of iconic in its way.

    We have a kind of Blackmore's Night band doing folk rock-and renaissance music. We have a keyboard player who joins us for larger gigs, but for practice and smaller gigs I've been chasing this idea of harpsichord on a backing track. We're lucky to have a Kawai electric piano in our practice space with a USB slot for loading MIDI It's a bit heavy to take gigging though, unless we have roadies and a Luton with a tail lift 😉

    I wanted to use it as an alternative to backing tracks in our performances. It apparently has a feature to do live beat matching so we could give it a harpsichord MIDI file and it could play out to trigger signal from our drummer. Too steep a learning curve for me though, easier to persuade the drummer to play to a click track 😉

    Reaper is good. Logic is good. Ableton Live was the one which defeated me - utterly incomprehensible to me!
  25. Rosie C
    That's a fair point. I bought mine during lockdown from Amazon USA and yes it was almost as much as my Squier had cost from my local guitar shop.
