Right, Jim. Truss rod adjustment to change the neck relief. I will indeed keep a weather eye on it. Thanks, All.

Always a great week. I've been several times and always find the instruction, the folks and the vibe to be most excellent. Fort Worden, where Country Blues is hels, is a jewel of a place. Love it!
I seem to have solved the problem by changing the neck relief a little and raising the bridge a half turn. Thanks for your ideas, everybody. I know where to come when lsomething else goes wierd.
Thanks for the information!
Hi Everybody- I have an Arrow style G that I recently bought from Buffalo Brothers. It's been playing fine . Nice action. I just took it out of its case for the first time in several days and found...
Spike Jones and His City Slickers circa 1948.
Thanks for all the help!
Hi Everybody,
I'm the new owner of a 1919 Gibson A1. Everything is fine except for its going out of tune every time I play it. Each course has detuned itself, often only one string. It's a...
The mandolin pictured is now mine (mine! mine!) and it's shaping up nicely. Its lovely voice can be heard even though the strings aren't yet stretched all the way. I'm happily surprised by the volume...
Hi Everybody-
I'm trying to get in touch with Paul Lestock, the Arrow mandolin guy. I tried his e-mail address from a year ago, and it bounced right back. I want to ask him about building a Jazzbo...
Let me un-hijack my thread to say thanks for all the good information. I like the idea of 4 strings on an EM150. Is scale length likely to be a problem?
Thanks.

Tenor guitar tuning= mandola tuning. Right. And it has 4 strings. Good point.:grin:
Hi everybody-
I'm thinking a 4-string mandola would be a cool tool for playing jazz and such. I know Breedlove has a model. Anyone have thoughts about it?
Any other makers come to mind?
...
OK I pulled the "rigger"?
Are you on a boat?~o)
If you don't read you can't play something you haven't heard before.
I had one of those things from Lark in the Morning. The only way to be in tune is to be playing something else.
Hi-- I'm going to take you up on the offer to find a way to get in touch with Paul.
Thanks
I'm wondering what this group of opinion makers thinks of the Arrow Jazzbo as a solution to the 4-string mando question I raised awhile back. Looks like a tiny archtop, costs somewhere in the...
Thanks everybody. Interesting information.The Arrow website has gone away, so there's no checking on the Jazzbo now. All the pictures that have been sent look wonderful, and I'd be happy to have any...
Thanks. Domra, imagine that. It seems to be bowl back.
Magnus- Wow! Beautiful. Just what I have in mind.
Hi-
Anyone know if there is such a thing? Ready-made or from a builder?
Could an 8-string be successfully converted?
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Anybody tried using a Calton mandolin case for a Phoenix Neoclassical? The long brown case the instrument came in doesn't look flight-worthy. If not Calton, then what?
Thanks
Steve James said "Play as hard as you can and as loud as you can until you fall down dead." It's the "as you can" part that's relevant here. As a 37 year old living in a 74 year old body, I find...
Hi - My Phoenix NeoClassical has a crack near the top f-hole that runs the length of the hole. It's hairline, but the top is so thin there I'm afraid it's going to crack all the way through. Can...
