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."

January 27, 2007 | JazzDolas keep him up late

Sometimes, we get mail we just have to pass on, the latest a fan of the new JazzDola JD-13 Strings weighs in. Seems his newly built basket-case mandola is finally settling in and his recent satisfaction is credited to the acquisition of these strings. Nothing like hearing a happy customer gush:

"Ted; It's almost 4 am and I cannot sleep so I am picking.

I just wanted to let you know that I so absolutely love your strings. Given the early disasters (neck problems) and the long search for strings that would make this thing play, sound, (etc.) like something remotely usable, I never thought this instrument would ever get much attention. Now it is splitting time 50-50 (or better) with the -dolin.

I only have your strings to blame. I love 'em... Thanks... thank you so much. I don't think I have ever done anything to an instrument that created such an improvement. It wasn't an over nigh thing as I had to get used to it, but today I can't put the -dola down."

Sometimes quality gear can drive our creativity, and we're glad these are working for Levi. We worked very hard in the JazzMando Research Lab trying to come up with just the right combination of gauging (and length!) on these. We feel the 7 months of getting them right has paid off, and our customers are telling us so.
