    Re: My New Pura Bouzouki

    Nice new one, Leigh!

    Darrel is a great guy and builds a nice instrument.

    My 20" scale Octave sings. I can just imagine what a longer scale sounds like.

    Re: Nmd - bighorn

    I owned a very nice BH Oval. It's the only Weber I've owned that I regret letting get out of my hands.

    Re: Dynamic ( !!! ?? ) Bass Player [NMC]

    I'd bet a shiny penny that this is a spoof. It might be a bassist who is really tired of guitarists who assume playing bass is a piece of cake. If you've been playing the bass for a few years you can...

    Re: Loud Mandolin for Irish Trad Sessions

    I can add to the Flat Top parade; The loudest, yet very sweet sounding mando I've owned is my Arches FTO (flat Top Oval). It has a sharp, cutting tone. I currently have TI Flats on it and they...

    Re: Looks Pretty Neat!

    Hey Karen,

    Re: Flatiron 3MC with issues - value?

    I'm with Shaun. Unless your bike has a trade value of $500, or less, I wouldn't trade it. Caveat emptor, unless you plan on making it a keeper.

    These are great little players and would probably...

    Beautiful, Jim! I'd love to have a go on this fella'.

    I really like the trap tailpiece as well. Both of my OM's have them and I wouldn't have anything else. They are as stable as any other I've...

    Re: Octave learning material?

    Well, you've been playing for awhile so I think you would probably benefit from John McGann's OM book. It's not for the beginner, but even though you are new to OM your dues paid on the guitar will...

    I'll go ahead and admit to my blasphemous ways; I have never really liked Gibson mandolins. They just never really did anything for me. There were a couple over the years that were nice, but the...

    Congrats, Phil!

    That's about the best deal anyone who is looking to try out an OM could get. You did a good job!

    The TC isn't a $3000+ one-off, handmade legend, but it is plenty good enough...
