It is just someone's interpretation of what something should sound like you all. We all have a little of it in us. Just imagine when we are gone what bluegrass will have evolved into. Galaxygrass....
Sounded good to me. Made my evening.

Keep the strings on and tuned. Find a friend or relation that will let you keep it under their bed until you come back. You might be pleasantly surprised and just about find it in tune as I do with...
You can twist those intelli tuners around so they are barely noticable. If you are close you will see them. The only live touring professional mandolin player I know kept one on his headstock turned...
My biggest problem with my thumb is I sometimes bring my thumb a little to forward and get the pick at an angle playing the strings and not keeping the tip (point) level with the strings I am...
You have my interest on the K-38. That was the earlier problem, the mandolin was just low and easy to get into. I am 6'3" tall so the K-38 might be tall enough for me to notice. The base of the k-38...
"Foggy Mountain Breakdown" (looking at differant positions) and differant breaks for "Uncle Pen".

I do not mean to sound like a smarty when I say this but I have a lot of guitar stands around the house but no mandolin stands. Mandolin stands just do not seem to stay on the Weagle radar real well....
Maine Michael gave a great suggestion. You need to play what you will buy. Alot of differant models do not sound the same. I know this sounds weird but it is true.
Good luck on your search. Try a...
I was wondering through a pawn shop the other day and came across an older Alvarez A-100( I am going to windup with one of these things yet). This mandolin could be had with a case for $150 and with...
Bluegrass gospel will always be a mainstay of any bluegrass event here in the south. Like someone stated earlier, you can only sing so many songs about love, lust, and murder. You eventually sing...
Sounded great!!!! A little repetition and you will be pat on that tune.
I do not know that much about Irish music but I could envision a little crosspicking in there to make that your own at the...
Those position studies by Grisman are pretty cool. Some great information being brought out by the board members. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Some more stuff to work on. Makes me keep on keeping on....
So far I am holding on to mine but I have to go through several stages and actions to get to it. Dig the hole root around where I think I might have buried it. LOL.
Lynn, do you think you look...
Old time Fiddler Convention in Athens, Tennessee at the college last weekend in October. Contest featuring strong local and visiting talent. Something differant. Been going on for years. Always a...
I do not know of anything for that price but it does not mean that it does not exist. If you are happy with what you are playing, save up some $$$ and get you an even better upgrade.
In the past...
I think something like that would be cool. Maybe also have it on tableture and written music.
What a great feature that would be for the website. Once a month maybe so it would not be a burden for...
Had a Samick A style mandolin that I sold to a buddy of mine that wanted something you could play accoustically and electrically. It was pretty cool to plug in and make effects with. Also, pretty...

Great looking mandolin!!!!
Still love my mandolin you made in 1983. Hopefully be able to see you and your lovely bride in Nashville I think in January. I cannot keep up with dates I rely on...
Nothing beats being able to look and handle the instrument. If the location is within a reasonable drive (4-5hours) take a road trip after making sure this is what you might want. I had a bad...
Thanks a bunch guys!!!!! I have learned some stuff tonight.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Appreciate the assistance.

I hate to show my ignorance on this but looking at the picture on eBay it looks like the strings are attached to a single pin and fan out to the bridge. Does or would the cover help with the...
Next time I sell an instrument, I am going to get JE Stanek to write my advertisement for me. He can write that stuff. LOL. That was great humour comparing the two advertisements.

Am I confused??? You are going to have to buy a tailpiece for that mandolin aren't you??? What would you put on it??? Please correct me if I am wrong. What would that cost???
It is the oldest...
