    Re: Wasburn vs Luna vs Michael Kelly?

    I disagree with the *tuners don't matter* crowd. I've had tuners on various instruments that had the annoying tendency to slip; it's not unheard of. But, $100 thrown at good tuners vs saving that...

    This forum is way better than any of the banjer sites...

  5. Re: Kentucky vs. Eastman: Differences in 600 series and up?

    If you've managed to get three different opinions, then you should be able to find enough instruments to try out and make up your own mind. :P

  8. Re: Stolen 10 years ago, on craigslist today - what can I do?

    We had a good laugh a few years ago on the Pittsburgh bicycle board. It all started with a discussion of a bike theft caught on camera, and the this random new account shows up and it quickly became...

    Re: Headphones recommendations?

    I'm a big fan of the Sennheiser HD 280 which runs for around $100. I went through a phase where I was mostly making music on synths and computers and I was extremely happy with these. I've also used...

    Re: Kentucky F Mandos

    I don't really think of my KM-1000 as having much bling at all... I find that the lineup, up and down, tends to be priced according to workmanship and cost of materials, rather than any superfluous...

    Re: When are you ready for a jam session

    It depends on the jam? I mean, really, until you show up (even if you just stand there with an instrument in hand without playing), you really aren't going to have that personalized knowledge of what...

  15. Re: Is there such a thing as a "Mandolin Culture?"

    I think that it's more of a community than a culture... various communities, geared towards specific interests. I think when I use the word culture, I tend to not limit to a given instrument but...

    I almost bought that on ebay, solely due to the fact that the guy listing it lived five minutes down the road (presuming the same model). Beautiful mandolin, I hope it plays as nicely as it looks! I...

    Beautiful violin. In the grand scheme of things, $250 wouldn't be wasted on it. I'll be spending around that to have a crack repaired on my violin (exact opposite side of a crack I had repaired...
