Another happy Lafferty owner checking in. Lucky enough to get one of the original Octave's that Dennis got in. Love the short neck and has great punch, tone and resonence. On to of it all love...
Gerry- i am jealous if you played it before it shipped but glad I dont live that close to him! He seems to get enough of my money!
I do appreciate the responses, and have been fooling with holding...
New CBOM player signingback in for some help. Tried an octave a while ago and had wrist issues with long scale. Was lucky enough to get one on dennis's new Lafferty octaves w/ short scale and so far...
Gotta chime in here, having established a LONG history of catch and release with Dennis at the Mandolin store. Been playing two years or so, and have been through 7 mandolins in that time trying to...
Relatively new OM owner of a Weber Beartooth OM. Love the sound, look and general feel of the OM but am having trouble with the bass G string. Specifically, it seems to "roll" off the side of the...
edit-typo
Sean-I just watched your YouTube video, and agree, you are much better than you give yourself credit for! Great tune by the way, check Traditional Tabs site to try to dig it up and only find Hunt...
Another one chiming in. Those guys have never led me astray, and continue to deliver. Just got a PHENOMENAL Weber OM from them!
Soupy-a couple of more that I have, all purchased from Mel Bay

Once again, thanks. I have been in contact with Doug and we could be moving down the custom made arm rest route once parts arrive.
Thank you one and all. The first night was frustrating, last night I got the string changed, and in tune thanks to the hints. Suprised at how much different it is from regular mandolin fretting and...
PS-I forgot to add that I followed the mantra of first do no harm, so I quickly loosened all the strings and stuck it back into the case, feeling like a dork until I sought guidance and humbly...
Good evening everyone-well, I read everything out there, knew what I was buying and made the jump into the OM.....and as they say, that wasnt enough so please indulge me in some beginner OM...
Mike-been where you are right now. went with Collings, great sound, sold for a Weber because I had to have an F, sold the weber to go back to the Collings, which is on it's way. I have large hands,...
thank you one and all. I appreciate knowing that I am not the only bipolar person on the board! And maybe I will buy a banjo and a fiddle just to give me one thing to play each day with one day of...
"What the folks in here have tried to instill in me, and I think "rightly" so, is that the whole idea is that our musical interests are meant to be fun, recreational, enjoyable, and worth the time we...
I have learned a lot from the board, and have been struggling with something. I picked up the mando about a year ago, and have been told by my teacher that I can play. Like most folks on this...
You know, that street sign might just be the ticket, hadnt thought about that option....but I will need another case to carry that around. Me and the big Wegen are good buddies, might have to try to...
quick question-love the large Wegen 1.4 picks, but have large hands and as I increase speed seem to "lose" the pick under my hand. I know that part of it is technique, but also function of size 14...
sorry guys, did a little more digging and think I found the answer that I was looking for. I will need to convert in my head, to fingers, and not one to one direct translation
Have what is likely a naive question. Have never seen or played a mandola, and am interested in purchasing to complement mandolin, primarily to gain some extra width and length on the fret board to...
I'm with Kevin, my weber came with a very chunky V-neck, and it is a wide nut. I sent it back to Tony and had the V removed (or neck shaved, call it what you will) and rounded to their normal...
Second the Thomastik and Wegen heavy pick on the Breedlove. They made ALL of the difference in the world on my FF.
Ken-sent you an email this evening regarding purchase of one of these. Love the looks, but would need wide neck, if possible. Thanks, and look forward to your response.
