I scratched the back of one of my mandolins the very first night I had it. I scratched it on a button (of all things).
After growing bored with my job and with a planned retirement in 5 years, I was examining everything that had great meaning in my life. The mandolin was one of them. 2.5 years ago I bought a new...
Congratulations! Enjoy your new mandolin!
Mandolins are temperamental...or perhaps it's my fingers. I feel your pain though.
That was stunningly beautiful! Wow...thanks for posting!
I have a JBovier ELS solid body electric. It's pretty cool and has a great sound. It has 4 strings instead of 4 sets of 2 strings. As for recommending one, it depends on the sound you want. You can...
I left an email for Weber and Bruce Weber personally answered it.
I'm currently into Nickel Creek...the Dotted Line CD.
Maybe if you made an insulated compartment with one of those large, rectangular plastic ice packs inside to help keep the air cool? Dense Styrofoam perhaps? I don't know how feasible this would be...

you're a hoot! Loved your comment!

I look at the forums first. I've learned so much by reading the posts of our mandolin community.
I tried to play "MANDO" on Words with Friends and it wasn't an allowable word either.
Yep, that counts more than anything. You're her hero!
Yes, it is a beautiful looking mandolin, but the tonal quality is what made this a must-have for me. My Custom Vintage A is a beautiful mandolin with an incredible sound but I never felt it produced...
Beautiful!
That's a beautiful mandolin and really cool photos. Thanks for sharing!

Here's the new mandolin I just picked up last night. It will be good company for my Weber Custom Vintage A.
My daughter started playing violin when she was eight-years-old. She had a burning desire to play violin since she was two-years-old when she heard violin music on TV and it caused her to cry. Her...
Very pretty! Enjoy your new mandolin!
Beautiful! I love the details...such as the design on the tuning pegs. The case is gorgeous!
