I am pretty sure Blue Chip has a return policy where you can return the pick if you don't like it. I think you have 30 days according to the Return Form here. The same may be true for other higher...
Mine tends to go up in tune far more than down as well.
How about a used Octolindo Scholar? It has a 21.5” scale.
Oh and apparently Shane MacGowan lived in San Diego for a spell in the early 90s. A few people on reddit mentioned they met him and knew where he used to hang out etc. That was complete news to me. I...
That song has been on my mind non-stop ever since I heard his passing. In particular the lyrics from the chorus feels particularly poignant to me:
Take my hand and dry your tears, babe
Take my...
Congrats on this great milestone Mandolin Cafe and Scott. I'm grateful for all that you've done to make this such a great place for all of us
I hope you like the case. I really like mine, and it actually fits an A5 I have quite nicely while other cases did not work. The only thing I wish it was different with the case is the two latches on...
I must say I haven't heard this before. I just checked mine which has a white exterior and a blue interior, and I can't say I notice any staining on a mandolin that I've had sitting in the case for...
Usually when I see a Flatiron Festival F5 with a bound fingerboard, I just assume it's an import model made overseas. To the best of my knowledge, there is no domestic Festival model (A or F) that...
I'm partial to ebony / black myself, nothing fancy. Here's a ebony armrest by Doug Edwards with a matching finger rest on a '91 Artist A5 I used to have:

If you check the classifieds...
If only the seller takes as much care and time with the photos as he did with the description...
I'm somewhat intrigued by this wire visible from the soundhole:

What could be it? An...
Congrats Daryl and thanks for the write up. That does answer a question I had as to whether the label on the new F5G is signed or not. These new F5G look great and I'm sure it sounds just as good....
I had a '91 and '93 Flatiron Artists A5 that were both signed by Bruce Weber (unfortunately I don't have any pics of the labels). Both were really strong BG mandolins, and as far as I remember, both...
I also second Silverangel by Ken Ratcliff. I was playing my Econo model last night and was still blown away by how good a mandolin it is.
Also recommend you check out Weber mandolins, which in my...
Very few mandolins need more than just a serial number. I assume the OP is looking for a Gibson?
Looks like it's already sold, so there's your answer :grin:
I'm curious how this one sounds like alongside one of Northfield's F2. Hopefully there'll be a video or a sound clip out soon.
Lots of good suggestions already. I looked at the Thomann page briefly, and I think many of the models are also sold in the U.S. under different brand names. Personally, I think the recommendation...
I have zero experience with mandolins that I'd worry about affecting the value of. But from my standpoint, I would not be put off by, or discount, a mandolin that has been refretted, or even have the...
Really sorry to hear. Unfortunately if it fell out of a scooter traveling at high speed, it likely would have sustained considerable damage. Regardless, you should definitely post the info in the...
A mandolin with a zero fret still needs a nut to keep the strings in place in their desired spacing. I think most european built mandolins have them (zero frets). Check out some pictures of the...
I listened to the album yesterday while working outside in the yard. There are definitely some catchy tunes there, and I feel like most of the songs that really caught my ears were sung by Sara...
Beautiful rendition Colin. Bravo.
Couldn't agreed more Bill. Bruce and Mary are just wonderful and exemplary people. You probably remember I have a Silverangel Econo A. I ended up sending it to Bruce a couple years ago and he...
$1500-$1600 used to be the sweet spot for a killer A5 in the used market. I bought more than one Collings MT around that price; got a Pava back in the day for less than $1700 shipped. Now I don't...
