Where is the best place to order bulk individual strings. I just want to get a few cases and have them instead of running all over town before gigs. :crying:

This is a first post for me here at the Cafe. I felt compelled to stand by my friend Mandocowboy. I remember when he first told me of his desire to purchase a Weins mandolin. I too looked up this...

Hey just a Happy 4th FYI Homespun video and tapes is offering free shipping if you order today on the 4th.

I bet they stay awake nights worrying about what the wannabee's are thinking! That family has been through a lot, had nothing and has lived the American Dream!! They play 300 gigs a year and she's...

Practice songs in the dark. It will do wonders for you when you pick at the late night festival jams. It also teaches you to use you sense of feel and positioning rather than rely on sight all the...

Brilliant yes, enough of poking fun here. I hope that you've been inspired by the legions of mandolin talent and their most amazing forsight! I am given a fresh dose of laughter each day by the folks...

Nice lookin axe! How's the woof? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

Wow I just had a revelation. Now that only happens about every 25 years or so and I had to write it down! I'm going to make a mandolin that has a pop open bottem! Then I can stuff strings in, and...

Go to Big Joe, the man will know something or who will if he doesn't.

Well boys I think they are on their way! I would bet that if you roam the halls at IBMA next year you'll see Adam there. He just loves to pick, just like me!

Personally I wouldn't buy one listening to it over the phone. I think the best way still is to see the mandolin and play several. IBMA is a great place to compare axes. Yes it's true that builders...

As for being a "Professional" I would have to say quite a few have made a living from playing mandolin. It's one thing to say professional and another to make a living from it. I consider myself a...

Here I am with the band.

That's cool and bro she's a keeper for sure. She did some homework there cause if I were buying a Gibby right now I would have to buy the same model! I've heard some other Gibby models and for the...

Those boys can pick. At IBMA I had the good luck of jamming with friends from Memphis and in walked Adam. I had never laid eyes on him in my life. He asked if he could sit in with us so me gave him...

Nice looking headstock Jim!! I like Mr. Ryman's mando that you made!

Hey I know you guys really want that mandolin! Think of the attention you would get at the festivals when you walk up to a hot jam with your New AXE!!! You'd stand out for sure, plus I bet you could...

Hey mandodave, that's criminal for you to be stockpiling those Hutto's. I think I'll turn you in to the bluegrass police!! You should sell a couple to some really great pickers so they can be enjoyed...

Go Korean for that price. but you may find it on e-bay so good luck!

Go with the tortoise picks if really want something that will last and give you a great sound. Everyone that is making a pick is trying to duplicate that wonderful sound. By the way, I'm trying to...

Hey Big Joe, do I sense a little bias, after all you worked for Gibby. Having said that, I have owned a few Gibsons and they didn't do for me what the Collings did. I think that you're most...

Cool, you have now in your posession a hand held howitzer. It will only get better with time and playing. Welcome to the brotherhood of the Collings ranks!!! Enjoy

I know of a Collings MF5 that a friend in Denver has for sale with waverly tuners. It's #4 and would certainly be a great buy. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

I don't know if you checked or not but the inside of the scroll may not have been filed down. I have a mandolin that I had to do that with and all is fine now.
