    Must be a sign I'm not playing my F-style enough.

  3. Re: Gibson threatening the mandolin and guitar luthier community

    Some companies that aren't worried are probably the overseas ones. Gilchrist, Duff, Northfield etc.

    Re: The First Loar F-5 I Ever Played

    The one and only Loar I've ever played is John Reischman's Loar on a couple occasions. The first time was in his living room, and I got to play it for an hour or so. He played my humble KM-1000 for...

    My New Pro Level F5 for $300

    Ok, so I clickbaited you. It's still an F5 and a darn nice one at that! I'll have to take some photos of my F5 mandolin with it I think! This was my dream camera back in college when I did film...

    There's usually some nice stock at Myhre's Music in Edmonton too. I'm in moderately rural Alberta and that's my main go to place. Where you living? NWT?

    Re: Ebonizing?

    I've done the steel wool and vinegar technique. It worked fairly well, but I used it on old barnwood cut ends. So I never really monitored the finish after I sold it. I made one batch with rusted...
  10. Re: Kentucky Km 1000 and it`s American contenders .

    My KM1000 has sounded better than most new models up to about $3000 that I've played. Better than a Dave Harvey Fern too (maybe setup problems), but not a Harvey Sam Bush or F5G. I'm looking to...

    This qualifies as other equipment right?

    I picked up this full size violin at a Value Village yesterday for $30. I usually check out any fiddle that I find at antique shops or other such places,...

    Re: I “lost faith” in the mandolin...

    I play my guitars a lot more than my mandolin. There's just more need for guitar in my social circles and commitments. I'm even a bass player in a touring band. But I still find the mandolin to be...

  18. Re: Anatomy of a fine Loar mandolin "Bench-copy/Tribute"

    How does the mandolin in question sound? I imagine quite good. I think there's a similar discussion about this in the Red Diamond thread in General Topics right now, but I've always wondered if you...
  19. Re: Anatomy of a fine Loar mandolin "Bench-copy/Tribute"

    Amen to that! The Halsey '23 model haunts me. He offered to build me one, but I didn't have the dough.

    Re: Brands With Larger Neck Profiles?

    I got a chance to play a newer Gibson F9, F5G and F5 Fern today. Loved the neck on the F5G! Nice and thick! I preferred the tone too to the Fern. Good to know. Just gotta play a Northfield now.

    Re: Brands With Larger Neck Profiles?

    Good to know! Northfield is high on my list of options. Also slightly more affordable than one of my other desire, a older Gibson F5L.

    Re: Brands With Larger Neck Profiles?

    I'm not concerned so much about the width of the fingerboard as much as the "girth" of the neck. My Kentucky is a bit thin for my liking.

    Brands With Larger Neck Profiles?

    I'm soon to be in the market for an upgrade from my Kentucky KM-1000. One of the things I'm wanting is a larger/fatter neck than the Kentucky. I've played a few Collings, a Stanley, a Red Diamond,...
