I have a Performer A; it's a better player than I am.
Well, there is this...

Been playing in a church choir with mandolin, mandola, mandocello & guitar for years now. Only complaints I've heard were about not enough mando__ (fill in the blank). Advice: Sit in on a couple of...
I guess I'll bite Scott.
Could you please change "wreded" to Dave Wrede?
Thanks Scott!

Boy, I'd be losing a finger in there for sure! :grin:
Got 2 of 'em, an A and F5. Both of 'em keepers.
I also go back to those catalog days; even have the Elderly record from back then!
Gotta make a pilgrimage soon.

I've been doing this for more years than I really care to count.
Never used a capo on mando; that's what my "flat instrument" (guitar) is for :))
I'm more of a "hole filler." If there's a hole in...
+1 on Music Villa & Greg Boyd's
Both are fantastic shops
There's also Piccolo's Music in Helena.
OMG!
What can one say??
You won't be disappointed. I've got 2 of 'em plus a Flatiron mandola.

(Doesn't appear to work correctly in Chrome but works fine in Edge.)
Doesn't cost too much to get the nut & saddle reworked.
I have an Eastman and had the string pairing & spacing tightened a bit and now it's eminently playable.
I think it cost me $50 & a trip to a...
Same thing happened to me in the days of snail mail at an overseas location.
They sent me a couple of new sets gratis. Been a loyal customer for all my mandolin strings since then.
Guess I'll just have to stay in my lane....
You could try emando.com. They have a page for ordering strings (http://emando.com/shop/strings_cello.htm). Next time I need strings for my Eastman 'cello that's where I'm going. The D'Addarios are...
The only time anyone has ever mentioned my instrument is when someone noticed it says "The Flatiron" on the headstock. Their comment was along the lines of "I wish I had an instrument that said...
Ya gotta get a mandola...
The range is almost identical to guitar, but the sound is nothing like it.

Goodness gracious Mark, you're gonna put Mel Bay outta business! :))

Awesome Mark!
Bookmarked for reference!
CES,
I'm not an engineer of any type or kind, I only know what has worked for me.
3-4 windings on plain strings and 1 or 2 on wrapped strings has worked for me for going on 40 years.
