Hey guys,
I tried looking for some opinions myself but there isn't a huge wealth of info on these. Would a used Weber Y2K be a reasonable upgrade? I know they were Weber's entry level model but I...
Thanks for the replies everyone! You're right. I've decided now to keep the Kentucky, buy an upgrade, and have Sim look over both for me. Now the hunt for a second mandolin begins... And I already...
So I'm still playing the Kentucky KM-140S that I bought a few years ago with advice from this forum. I like it a lot still, but I'm stuck.
Whenever I play it now, if I let off any of the pressure...
Looks like Dave Hynds may be my best bet. Good price and guaranteed from a player. Thanks! I couldn't find any on ebay originally but I didn't think to check the German ebay.
I'm interested in learning this instrument, but playing it almost seems like a forgotten art, hardly any info out there at all! Consequently, it's hard to find any for sale as well. This one I've...
What a gorgeous instrument. I love the violin scroll headstock. Happy playing.
Merry Christmas to everyone on this helpful and friendly forum. Wouldn't be enjoying my mandolin nearly as much without all of your help.
Wow, a bandurria. What a beautiful sounding instrument. Thanks for the info and the video. Coming from a woodwind background, I'm learning more and more about various stringed instruments. I've had a...
I saw this mandolin for sale, and it doesn't look anything like the other 12-string mandolins I've seen before. It's about 24 inches long. Made by Teleforo Julve. How exactly would this thing sound,...
Ah, sorry for the late reply guys.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, it's a bit more than $25. I may buy it as a conversation piece if nothing else, I'd like all my practice time to go to my mandolin...
Forgive me if this is in the wrong place to post this.
Hey everyone. Still playing the mandolin you guys gave me advice with. :) Anyway, I walked into a music store today and I was in the back...
Thanks for the info you guys, and for the laughs. I told my friend what he most likely had, and he thanks everyone for that. He's gonna continue to hang it on his wall as a sentimental piece.
Alright, I know someone who has an old mandolin that was his grandfathers, and it has a story. One night, his grandfather was playing the mandolin in a bar, and a fight broke out. Someone got on the...
Thanks for the resources you guys, I've learned a lot from them so far.
It is a Kentucky KM-140S. I really like the sound. I got it for $150 with the case.
Good news, everyone. I got my Kentucky just a little over an hour ago. I can't wait to start playing. Thanks everyone who helped influence my decision. I really appreciate it.
Now, where to get...
UPDATE: Still scraping up the money to buy the Kentucky, but today at a flea market I saw a mandolin hanging on the wall. Turns out it was a Gibson, and the price was 12k. I had a conversation with...
Thanks for the input everyone. I decided on the Kentucky. Over the Kay because I like the sound more (and because the Kay doesn't have the truss rod), and over the Johnson because I do want an...
Thanks for the replies you guys. Upon further research, I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Mandolin-Style-Holes-Sunburst/dp/B0002H0KG0 It's a Johnson by Rogue. I've heard to stay away from...
Hey,
I'm a woodwind player who wants to start playing mandolin. I've researched a bit, but still wouldn't consider myself knowledgeable on which brands to buy, good prices, etc. At a local antique...
