You can't really get a "good" mandolin for that money. You can get an ok one. There's nothing wrong with ok mandolins! I played on a Kentucky A140 for 14 years before "upgrading" to a...

There are several shops in my area (Western Massachusetts) that sell them. As I said, I've seen a few come thru my little studio with cracks and other problems. As long as you take good pictures of...
Really it's not. Most musical instruments are made in the same factory towns in China. For example, Dalian is a factory town that houses the Daewon Musical Instrument factories and shops. That's...
Maybe so, Bill, but if you had seen the "ovens" at the Daewon Musical Instrument factory in Dalian, China (where Epiphone guitars, Morgan Monroe mandolins are made), I think you would change your...
Bluegrass is 1 part blues, 1 part grass and 1 part god. It's the holy trinity of string band music. If you're not particularly interested in the god part, call it Newgrass and move on
I disagree about the Loar's quality. I have not visited the factory, but because of the cracking reports on various threads, I suspect they are made with kiln dried tonewood. That would be worth...
I guess the guitars are also bad:

Agreed. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them. I've had several come in as trade-ins through my little studio. I also see them regularly listed in my Facebook Group:...

I love the idea of a ten string...but I wonder how it is to play? I play a 5 string viola and the strings are quite close together. I can't imagine a 10 string!
I don't understand what it's for...vocals?
1. I've been working on trebles (Irish triplets) and slip jigs. Hard to play on the mandolin!
2. To learn the Bach Partitas for solo violin on the mandolin.
3. I'd emphasize the need to...

We just had our 3rd rehearsal on the 18th. It sounds great. We meet just once a month for about 2 hours. Would love to have you join us. :)
