Hi everyone....it’s been a while. I’ve fallen on pretty desperate times financially and urgently/sadly need to sell some stuff. Can anyone tell me what the current price window is for a used but...
Sorry to resurrect such an old topic, but what is the Ovation MM68 going for nowadays when it pops up used?
There's nothing in the liner notes (I just grabbed the album with this on it)....there's definitely a mandolin already in there if I'm not mistaken. Maybe learn the mandolin part and have a guitar...
Avabeah, I'm in the U.S. (Florida), but my wife's grandfather was Scottish (from Glasgow). Pretty sure he may have been the original owner, and it's been passed down....went to my wife because of my...
I feel like I stole your thread with the one I just posted :grin: I posted about the same instrument. Maybe we can join forces to figure this thing out.
And it appears I am guilty of violating the "search first" rule with this thread right below mine....

Hi Cafe. :) This was my wife's late grandfather's "banjo" from his "Jimmy and the Banjo Boys" music group in Glasgow, Scotland. I think she said he was born in 1920. I told her even with my limited...
Less expensive F-style, try The Loar 520 or 500. I love my 500....both are sunburst finish though.
I have some knowledge though limited of amplifiers and sound. I just received my Ovation MM68 (it's a beauty) and I won't be getting my hands on a true acoustic amp/system anytime soon with the...
Everyone is going to tell you to get an A-style, as you'll get a lot more for your money, and they're right. I believe however that if you already know you've gonna get scroll envy, just get the F if...
Great live version. I really miss REM already....their final album (Collapse Into Now) was one of my favorites of theirs ever, and had a fair share of mandolin on it....
As a rock guy I appreciate the Zeppelin/REM mentions. Don't know him but I like that "Cold Bread" track. Maybe it's my rock/folk showing, but I feel like open chords and the sparkling treble...
I wanna hear some thrashgrass....is that like covering entire Megadeth albums bluegrass-style? :mandosmiley:
I love my Loar 500, got it from Folk Musician. It's awesome, and I think it can be had for a little under what you're looking to spend.
Hi Cafe. Now that it's over and I don't alert anyone that can compete with me :whistling:, I wanted to check and see if I did well on this eBay auction.

I see you went for the Kentucky 150....I started there too and it's a great start. Before I saw you had went ahead I was gonna say if you really want an F, just do it.....you're gonna be doing it...
I love my LM500....I liked my starter Kentucky 150, but stepped up quick. Enjoy!
My Pine Island call was right. :) Guy put an ad on Fort Myers Craigslist putting together a big acoustic oldtime jam for whatever instrument you like.
Does anyone know if International Violin still offers an F4 kit? It's never been on their website, but it is on the catalog despite the catalog being marked 2011-2012. I've never built anything so...
So this mandolin will be a 2nd mandolin....take it to the beach, let the kids mess with it, hang it on the wall where my Loar 500 used to be (just don't feel comfortable with it hanging on the wall...
Hi Clark,
I live in Cape Coral just across the river in Ft. Myers, and find the local music scence lacking. Not much other than bar cover bands (one of which I was a member of at one...
I'm lucky to be in just-missed Florida....but I had a thought. What about obviously putting the mandolin in its case, then putting it in one of those garment bags that you vacuum the air out? Would...
Has anyone tried OAIM (Online Academy of Irish Music)? The site looks amazing, and has no less than 5+ instruments I play or want to play. There are bouzouki lessons, and as I am only a free member...
I was encouraged the other day to see that in the last few weeks my local Guitar Center's mandolin selection has doubled or tripled (Fort Myers, FL location). They used to just have a Mitchell, then...
Though your mind seems made up (I think it was you posting a Want ad in the classifieds?) I will give a +1 for my The Loar LM500. Even with it being a few steps below the 700 you looked at, it plays...
