Thanks for the tips. I didn't know about the importance of diminished chords. I will say that I really love the uke. I got the tenor Kala KA-TG in today and I'm just enthralled! One thing I don't...
I got the Kala 15s soprano and my daughter and I both loved it. Stayed with uke tuning, went through a 105 pg ukulele beginner syllabus last night and I really like it! I can play it while we're...
I guess I should have clarified that I already ordered the Ukulele, so the only issue is how to tune it. It's supposed to arrive today so I'll probably play around with it and then decide what to...
DWC: The chording is actually one of the reasons I wanted to tune it to GDAE. I think the two finger mando chords are easier than the uke chords and I would have to learn a 3rd set of chords in...
I have a daughter that is interested in playing, but she is only 5 and lacks the finger strength to push down the mandolin strings. I saw that you can get a decent Kala Ukulele for about $55 on...

Here are a couple pics of the nut spacing and one of the mandolin for Grommet! To be clear I,m not talking about the spacing between the two G strings, the two A strings etc, but...
Yeah, I have a MK and all three spacings measure the same. I just didn't know if the A-E gap is sometimes smaller for some reason. More than likely it was a mismeasurement if they are supposed to...
The above measurements were edge to edge. Center to Center is 5mm, just under 5mm, just under 4mm (G-D, D-A, A-E)
I recently had a mandolin built and I noticed that the space between the A and E string pairs was less that the spacing between the G-D and D-A. The space between the G-D and D-A pairs is about 4...
Yeah it's an overlay not an inlay. I'm sure it's to keep costs down. I've seen pictures of mandolins he's built where the customer requested custom inlay, but the upgrades cost more.
I'm kind of...

Here are the final pictures. It sure has been hard to put down. Believe it or not it sounds better than it looks.
I have a BC TAD-50, Wegen TF120, Red Bear B Medium, and TS all right around 1.2mm. Of these the Wegen is my least favorite. It's harsher on the strings and the tone is not up to par with the rest,...
It's awesome. I don't think I could take a picture that would show just how gorgeous this mandolin is in person. (I will try when I get home tonight though :) Everything is just spot on as far as...
Well it's here! Just came via USPS, and now I'm gonna have to sit here for an hour or two while it acclimates to the temperature. That has to be the worst part of ordering a mandolin in the winter!
I think I saw pics of that one before I ordered the one I ended up having built. Was it a honey amber finish? It was a good looking mandolin.
Jim: I don't know what the inlay is. I'll have to...

Photos of the finished product taken by Mr. Morris. More to follow when it gets here. Shipped today so should be soon!
The city near "the Mandolin Store", not the instrument. I doubt many airlines fly to specific mandolins!
How much is a plane ticket to Phoenix?
I thought about making a video with different picks like you describe. I was just thinking about that today! In my quest for the perfect pick I acquired quite a collection of higher end picks of...
Pandora Internet radio is a good option, especially if you have an iPod, iPad, iPhone. Music with little interruption and you can create your own stations.
Yeah, completely insensitive post. Might be one of yours someday. Too bad people get in so deep. Dick move just to call someone out on posting too much.

Here it is with the back installed and the first stain and seal coat!
Only if noone was using their ears.
Never mind!
These two mandolins in the classifieds look pretty similar don't they?
