I have a 950, like it a lot. Like the radius, the frets and the scooped florida. Mine seems to have a very thin finish. Big rub spot under the treble string and I don't really plant my pinkie. ...

Great sounding mandolin, and I really mean it. One of the best sound samples I have heard.

In life I have found that people do what they really want to do. I have found for myself and others that ten minutes a day playing is much better than extended time once or twice a week. I keep the...

Good article. I have trained protection and obedience dogs to high levels using operant conditioning. It works on all animals, best examples are dolphins. The extinction burst is very interesting...

I have played several Webers, liked most of them. I have a Kentucky 950, like it a lot, some of the Webers were better but cost more. I tried playing a flat fret board the other evening. I had...

I also have a 950 that is showing a bunch of wear below the treble side. I don't plant a finger much and don't drag the pick. This finish wears easily. Since it is not a collector it doesn't...

I am a believer in starting with very functional level equipment, not top of the line. I then upgrade when I can perform better than the equipment I have. In my case, instruments, golf clubs, etc....

Can't beat a Snark. I will also second the need for a decent metronome.

I forgot to add that the Folk School of St. Louis can be a good approach. They have a set of 8 group classes for I think around $140. I haven't been there in quite some time and I don't know who is...

James Jobe is worth every penny he charges. He will get you further down the road faster than most.
So, works out cheaper in the long run. IMO.

Doug's armrests make a big difference. Excellent work. NFI.

To have Emmylou Harris sing harmony with me would be a dream realized. She makes anyone sound better.

I have had a 80's km-650 for several years. Great mandolin, very pretty sounding but not a banjo killer. Records very well. Can be seen and heard on Reverb Nation. We are the band Ozark Tie...

I bought a km-950 used here not too long ago. It arrived with a little of that on the treble side where you get a pinky rub. It now has more in that area but higher up toward the neck. Appears...

One of the best sounding mandolins I have heard on a video. Wondered what it was, thanks.

I don't care what kind of music you may prefer, these fellas can flat tear it up. Thanks for posting.

The best compliment I have for my McClung armrest is that after putting it on I never noticed it being there. It was so natural feeling.

That type of humidifier can also be found in tobacco stores. They are used in humidors for cigars. I have used them for a couple years, works fair.

Then I can look forward to continual bliss.

I am a fan of the Snark and I just like saying the name.

I think there are other threads on the Cafe about them that you can check out. I have had one for a few months now and find it to be a well balanced, smooth playing mando. For this price range they...

Thanks so much for the many good suggestions. After careful consideration I have decided to put a down payment on a 1946 International Harvestor.

I want a metronome that has a lot of volume and a lower note on the downbeat. I need this cause it's all about timing, timing, timing.

Earlier in a post I said "when I grow up", being 66 that could happen just any day now. I was fortunate to have come from a family of backwoods okies who lived to hunt, fish and play music. From...

I love the way the silver angels sound, both of thes were great. Oldsausage plays an a model on some videos that also has this sound. I have Kentucky km-950 that I really like but to me these sound...
