I agree with the "what's the big deal with tuners?" team.? 99.5% of folks don't know what they are or even notice them?
I saw Grisman and band a few years ago and those guys tune between every song - I don't remember if they had or used tuners.? It was before all the clip-on tuners were so common.? I noticed all the tuning, but not whether they were using tuners or not...

Take the damned tuner off the damned headstock and don't replace it with a damned tuner that sticks on the damned front of your damned instrument. Re: headset monitors...I can see no reason why a bluegrass/string band would need them unless working a large venue. Playing with two ear monitors is like trying to stand inside a 55 gallon drum and blend. Hartford used to play with no monitors. For the entire time I worked with him, he NEVER used monitors. He'd even make the sound men remove the monitors from the stage or he wouldn't play. He said it was important for people to see the band from their shoes up. Really, it got to where we just played to what we heard coming back from the house (delay and all...<G>). Bugs On Jul 7, 5:00?am, Jonas Mattebo <jonas.matt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey!
