That looks very much like one a friend of mine owns/used to own. He lovingly called it “the pregnant goat.” 😂 Solid mandolin and great tone… seemed to be just the way the top was carved. He had a...
Hi Scott! I've been away for a quite a while but am getting back into the mandolin world. Could you please change my username to Tracy Ballinger? Thanks a ton!
Looks like it's up at the neck joint.
I was 36 with no prior instrument experience.

Saw him up close and personal at a very small venue a month or so ago... he is an absolute hoot to watch, and very talented!
It is also identical to the Old Hickory brand...
I don't think I've ever seen a hedge apple small enough to put in a mandolin... All the ones I've seen are softball size (and really fun to throw at tree trunks and splatter 'em everywhere!)

I've got the first verse and part of the chorus worked out; they are both in D. I believe there's some funky chord in it on "death" in the chorus and I can't figure out what it is. A minor, a 7th,...
A little late to help, but I know Sonny ships his mandolins strung with Martin Bluegrass strings, which are a lighter gauge than the ones you use: so the guys were correct (of course!) in pointing...

Picture bluesy fiddle and mando, slow, plodding oom-pah, and a little kazoo...
Cool, thanks for the example!
I have heard of Leroy Troy and the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band... but I don't know if they actually do jug band music (or, really, what jug band music sounds like!) or if they just liked the name!

That's just coool! :cool: Made me smile - thanks for sharing!
You can also buy a rubber grommet a little larger than the ones you are using as silencers between your strings, and slide it on the endpin after you put on your strap. A friend did this to mine,...
