    Re: Flat back bent top no label

    I went to see it. The neck was straight, but there was a shim under the rosewood bridge. The bridge was not in place. I didn't try to move it as there was a small, almost invisible crack going from...

    Re: Flat back bent top no label

    Re: La Fürstenberg

    Thanks Eugene. I should be more specific. But I always am looking for scores showing what the pick does, in order to get closer to what the composer intended.

    Had to change my strings

    I hate changing strings. I don't find it that difficult, I have been doing it for almost 10 years now. But I don't like very much the sometimes metallic sound of new strings. I only have bowl backs...

    Re: Feline String Change Caution

    Good thing I now play classical guitar. I even encourage the cats to play with the nylon strings. I make sure they are not around when I change mandolin strings.

    Unless it is bothering you...

    I am not sure if Matsikas would do a setup. If you intend to buy an old bowl back restored, just have a good look at what was repaired, and other details. And yes they need some care and light...
