eric@mandohangout.com — Thu, 14 May 2026 07:51 CST

It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned professional or just starting out. You simply can't ignore something that could give you dramatically better results with your mandolin lessons, and help you learn faster than you ever thought possible.
This tool is being used by thousands of musicians and mandolin players from all over the world (155+ countries at last count). And... it is being used by dozens of music teachers and instructors (guitar, mandolin, banjo, music teachers at school, etc.). Below is just one example quote from a instructor who uses Song Surgeon "A While ago, a student and friend of mine recommended that I get a program called Song Surgeon. As a minimalist and as a skeptic, I don't look for more things to clutter up my computer and my house - and I don't believe everything works as well as I am told it does. I went ahead, I bought it and within just a few hours, I realized the potential it had for my teaching practice. I have 24 students, and every single student, except for four - so 20 of them, now have Song Surgeon...." Also there was a review of Song Surgeon done on the Mando Hangout site, which is posted here that you might like to read: banjohangout.org/blog/31636

What is Song Surgeon?

Song Surgeon is an audio slow downer and key changer. It allows you to open any standard audio file - change the key or tempo - and then export these changes to create a new audio file with these changes made permanently. And, in the brand new Version 6 which was just released, Song Surgeon will calculate the chords, tempo, key and volume of the song upon opening it, and immediately display this information for you to use. It can also, detect and display individual notes, something quite useful for a mandolin player. Our all new Song Surgeon 6 Pro also has something called Audio Stream Capture built into it. This module allows you to capture, record and save ANY audio you play through your browser for use in Song Surgeon. It also has the ability to detect individual notes (not just chords). Both of these features are quite useful to mandolin players. Regardless of whether you play in a band and need a simple key transposition of a song, or are a musician practicing new material or mandolin instructor working with a student that needs to listen to a piece of audio over and over again, dissecting and looping that audio for slowed down detail, Song Surgeon is an absolute must have tool With sound quality that matches and sometimes even surpasses what thousand-dollar studio quality software products can offer, Song Surgeon is indispensable tool that is available at the surprisingly affordable price. Song Surgeon will have you feeling like you got your money's worth with just a few sessions of use, thanks to its incredible range of functionality and efficiency. Moreover, Song Surgeon does not have a recurring fee. Pay for it once, download and keep it forever! Song Surgeon is available in three models, Basic, Standard and Pro.

For Sale: Custom Arches A Style Mandolin - $4,150 USD

eric@mandohangout.com — Thu, 4 Dec 2025 05:38 CST

Up for sale is a beautiful, mint custom Arches A style mandolin made by well known luthier Chris Baird of Moab, Utah. Spruce top with maple back and sides and appears as if never played. I purchased it about five years ago from Kennard Machol of Intermountain Guitar & Banjo in Salt Lake City. This was his personal instrument and he was kind enough to include a note about the history of the instrument (pictured). He is a multi-instrumentalist and according to the note he sought out Chris Baird, who he described as an up and coming builder, sending Chris his favorite mandolin, a Gilchrist A Style, and asked that he model one after it. The year of the mandolin is 2006 and the serial number is 12. Again, it is virtually unplayed, as Kennard devoted most of his playing to the fiddle and banjo and sold the mandolin. Although I have cherished the instrument, it has rarely been out of the case during my possession of it.

For Sale: Original Traditional Bridge by Montana Lutherie - $100 USD

eric@mandohangout.com — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 10:02 CST

This innovative bridge design aids the strings in driving the soundboard, enhancing tone and volume with no interference. These bridges are ‘tried and true’ over the past 20 years for all mandolin family instruments with saddles guaranteed to remain unbowed by string pressure over time. For: Mandolins, Mandolas, Octaves, Mandocellos, and Arch Top Guitars. $100-$120 Go to the link for measuring instructions, or don't hesitate to contact Bruce: montanalutherie.com/product/tr...e-nickel/ Improvements Over Classical Bridge Designs: -This bridge may be adjusted under full string tension -Because a brass bar embedded in the bottom of the saddle supports the entire string area of the saddle, the saddle can be made much smaller than the common old, historical-style saddle. -The brass bar also insures that the saddle will not bow, sag or break in the middle over time. -The design also eliminates the screw holes in each end of the saddle that were a part of the old-style. -When adjusting the thumbwheels all pressure is directed down against the bridge base instead of up against the saddle as in the older designs. This increased surface contact from thumbwheel to base gives your instruments a truer tone and more volume. We believe these features give the bridge a more elegant appearance and better mid-frequency functionality. To make the bridge easier to use, the top half of each thumbwheel has been machined to accept a slim profile 5/16 wrench included with each bridge.
