Just received my issue of Mandolin Magazine yesterday and it is the best issue I can remember. The music, articles, content are all exceptional. Great Job.

I bought a Savannah on a lark for a wall hanger. I tuned it up and put a new bridge on it and beleive it or not, it sounded great. It is NOT hanging on the wall, it is my travel mandolin. Not bad for...

I did a Google on the Brand Name and found nothing, has anyone ever heard of them? It is a "F" style mandolin and is selling for $85 bucks.

Just for the heck of it I purchased a Savannah A model with an oval hole for under $100. Got it home, changed the bridge and tuned it up, it sounded every bit as good as some of the more expensive...

You got guts, enough said. Good Health

I purchased a variety of picks from Vinny, one of them just did not do the trick for me. I called Vinny and he suggested that I send it back and he would replace it with one that I liked. He CALLED...

I was browsing in my local music store last week when I notices there were several new mandolins hanging on the wall. I picked up a Savannah SA-110 oval hole and looked at the price (under $100)....

When I notch a new bridge, I use a scroll saw blade, use one that is designed for VERY fine cutting, it works great.

I own a D hole model Paris Swing and think that the fit and finish is very good. I put a Brakke bridge on it and restrung it with J-74's and it sound and plays remarkably good. The look of the...

Excellent customer service. You will enjoy their courtesy. It is very refreshing after dealing with other companies.

I have two Michael Kelly mandolins, a Dragonfly and a Plus, they are both good mandolins, I personnally don't have the talent to make anything but a moderately priced mandolin sound good. I would...

When I read this thread I immediately opened all 5 of my mandolins and found that 3 out of 5 had bridges that were slanted forward. I used the technique mentioned and all 5 are now straight. Again,...

My wife does counted cross stitching as a hobby. She is looking for a pattern of a F style mandolin. We have looked on the internet but only find things like bowl backs. If anyone knows of a location...

I am 69 years, 2 months and 29 days old, I have been "playing" for about 4 years. I have 5 playable mandolins. I love it. It is great for hand movement and keeping my mind sharp, I practice about 2...

This may seem rather obvious, but why don't you learn to do the setup yourself. It is not very difficult and you can get it exactly the way you want it. Time is not a factor, since it is in your...

I too am an old geezer, I am 69 years, 2 months, 5 days old and have never felt younger, I retired about 8 years ago and have been a mandolin player for about 5 years, I never miss a day of...

I like the bass to be as full as possible and the treble to be "Sharp". My original question was what strings does the factory install?

Just got my second Paris Swing mandolin for Christmas. #1 was a Nuages oval hole, #2 is a D hole Samois, I like them both but was wondering what strings come with each mandolin. #I presently have...

Just got an email from Raoul at Elderly stating that "the screws are on the way". Ladies and Gentlemen, customer service is NOT dead, at least not with Elderly. Thanks and you have a customer for...

OK, so I am being petty, yes, I went to the hardware store and bought screws that would fit for $3.00 (20). I guess I should think before I post, but I was upset. Playing the mandolin is more...

Thanks for the suggestion, I have another MK that has a onepiece tailpiece and I use a Capo to keep tension on the strings while I change them. I really like the tailpiece.
