    Re: Rob Meldrum's Mandolin Set-Up eBook

    If you want a second mandolin to apply your new found skills to after the Rogue, I would suggest a low end Ibenez.

    I did it with my old acoustic/electric model and it played and performed on par...

    Yeppers... Herb did mine and had to fuss with him to take more cash!

    He did a great job on it! Much improved over the setup done when I had the K&K pickups install new.

    Don't know what is classed as 'older' ... this was purchased new last winter.
  9. Re: Replacement Tuning machines for Eastman MD515

    I looked over the Rubners and thought they seemed outstanding from a design standpoint. I might go that way. I'm not sure what the stock ratio is on mine but if it is smooth and capable of zoning in...
  10. Re: Replacement Tuning machines for Eastman MD515

    Well that is being done right now. I've got it in for a tune up and attention to the tuning machines is on the list. But I still would rather have a more granular ratio on the machines regardless....
  11. Re: Replacement Tuning machines for Eastman MD515

    Can't find any spec's on the Schaller Grandtuners... might be a good move with the 18:1 ratio but I'd like a bit more info before making a jump.

    Mike,
    Will do! Thanks!

    Thanks Al...
    Looking over the options I really like the only in stock Rubner’s but aside from them being a bit out of the reasonable price range for my 515 they are only 15:1 ratio..

    So I think...
  14. Replacement Tuning machines for Eastman MD515

    I love my MD515 but the tuning machines are stiff and temperamental.
    I’m not sure what the ratio is on them but I would like to find a drop in replacement set that would provide a more granular...

    Re: Sweetened tunning

    Good point.. and in the promo video's for the StroboClip HD their reasoning is exactly that.

    The human ear can detect variances of 2 cents or more. So if you have a Snark tuned ensemble with +-...

    Re: Purchase Input for a Beginner Mandolin

    On the A vs F debate... I own an F and have owned and A. When I purchased my F to replace the A, I was informed that the A's were slightly more playable and not quite as temperamental as the F's. ...

    E, The last mandolin I took to Herb he schooled me on doing my own setup and never charged me because he made me do it.... if he’d do it and let me pay him I’d be happy to! LOL

    I have come to the conclusion that it is high time I get serious about my Mandolin skill and I have begun to take steps to address that.
