I don't know much about drum kits but my daughter-in-law wants to buy my son a kit for Christmas. I see all kinds in MF starting at a couple of hundred bucks all the way up to >$1K. I imagine that as with guitars, buying cheap just isn't smart. Can you please give me some suggestions on what...

For those of you interested in adding to your steel string acoustic collection, I played a couple a real beauties over the weekend. The first was a Taylor Grand Symphony, spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. I play mostly fingerstyle and this guitar is perfect for that style. It has...

Has anyone played any of the four new models of the Taylor GS due out this month? From the write-ups they sound like a great value and the specs indicate they could be great guitars, particularly for fingerstyle. rpe

Do any of you utilize this or other tunings and what are you currently working on? I really just discovered it in recent months and really enjoy it. I'm working on The Thornbirds Theme as arranged by Al Petteway - it's alot of fun and a beautiful song. rpe

I would appreciate anyone's input on this guitar. I'm looking for a great playing (recording), fingerstyle guitar, with 1 3/4" neck, scalloped bracing. I really don't want to pay $5K for a Ryan or Olsen, etc. If you've played this Guild anywhere I'd like to hear your thoughts. thanks, rpe...

Well, I practiced for over a month on two fingerstyle songs for a church service we had yesterday. One was a beautiful hymn and the arrangement I learned was really nice. I probably played the song 100 times in practice and had it memorized and could play it without error. I get to the church...

Looking for the manual for this digital delay. It doesn't seem to be available on the web. Can anyone help me out with this? thanks, rpe

I'm going to be accompanying a bagpipe with my acoustic guitar for a church music festival one Sunday next month. The piper will be playing Amazing Grace (what else?!!). I've got a fingerstyle version in DADGAD tuning or I suppose I could just appegiate the appropriate chord voicings in that...

Just finished making a couple of sound absorbers. OC 703 (2") framed in wood and covered with a fabric that reminds me of my younger days in the 60's. Do you think they're too ugly and should have a different covering? thanks, rpe
