good for you

It isn't necessarily my kind of music and I really don't think most people would even know it was a e-mandolin. I thought his violin playing was worse than his mandolin playing. He must be a good...

I have heard that too. We have talked about taking a travel trailer and going from festival to festival during the spring, summer and early fall. I imagine it is cheaper to go on cruises and not have...

Yes, I thought about the bluegrass cruises but with three kids, one who is charged at adult rates, it is much cheaper to go elsewhere. When we have an "empty nest" we are planning on going on several...

Howdy, I am planning a vacation with the family for Christmas gift and for anniversary. I plan to take a mandolin with me and I want to participate in the talent show. So, when I am going to be on a...

I will tell you that I am ever the more pleased with my Glenn. It has really opened up in the last few months and it just amazes me. The tone is good, the chop is good, the playability is good. I...

Howdy, I just moved to Snyder Texas and am looking for a place to jam. Do any of you know of any bluegrass clubs or organizations in the area and if there are any regular jams? I don't want to have...

No, he is no longer in business for himself. Here is his email address. Last time I used it, it still was working but he may have changed by now. I am guessing he will have a new one in Nashville....

Yes, he is working in Nashville for Gibson. I will not be getting rid of the mandolin. It will be with me, even if I found a Loar at a garage sale, I would still play this mandolin and use it on the...

I will say what I have said time and again, my Glenn F5 was the best money I ever spent on a mandolin. My mandolin is #106 made the day before my birthday in June of last year. I have played it...

Yes, he is now working at Gibson in Nashville. He told me that it was an answer to prayers. It is a difficult task trying to provide high quality mandolins for a great value while having to compete...

Well, I guess the site is down

this was his old email...I think it still works

bubbyjones@webtv.net

you should be able to contact him through the website at the bottom of my comment. He is now working for Gibson but I have emailed him a couple of times from the email address on the second page of...

My Glenn F-5 rocks. I love it. The tone continues to improve. I have had it about 7.5 months and it just gets better and better. It seemed to open up a little at a time over the first few months....

Mine is over two years old and is still in great shape and I play at least an hour every day and often much much more. I keep checking it because I don't want to lose it and I don't want to buy a new...

Awesome...what is the name of the tune. I really enjoyed it.

My F-5 continues to get better and better. This is such a great blessing to own. Alan did an amazing job on my mandolin, too.

Yes, he begins work with Gibson this week as I understand it in their...

thanks guys...I do have one of Don's kits. I will check out the books. I was really more interested in a guitar body style octave. I guess I could try to do a conversion. hmmmmm

Thanks for all the...

Howdy,

I have Don's kit and about to start on it. However, I want to build an F style octave, or guitar style octave. Is there anyone out there that produces plans for such and octave?

What are...

thanks, I'll try that

Hello,
I was thinking about trying to make my own octave mandolin in an f style or a guitar style octave. I have a Don Kawalke that I am about to start on in his kit and am excited about it. I would...

I haven't bought a mando from them but I have bought a banjo bridge and several other things from them and have had great service and communication as well as quick delivery.

put a new engine in my car as it is failing quickly, and while I am waiting, I'll play my Glenn F-5 which just seems to get better and better...happy days

the next closest jam I know of occurs regularly and I'd love to attend but it is 2 hours each way...so I play alone

thank you so much, this is a great list and I will start building my library. Great resource and great help...I appreciate it
