    Re: Lafferty LF-5D

    I have a Lafferty as well - a mahogany body octave. Really nice tone, although I wish it had an adjustable truss rod, as I'd like to drop the action a tiny bit more but there is just the slightest...

    Silk and Steel or Bronze?

    Trying various strings on my mandolins to see the tone differences. I see GHS silk and bronze and silk and steel strings - what is the difference between them - other than you can't use bronze...

    Not directly, no. (There are some complicated quasi-legal ways to do it, but it involves several bits of software and some finagling.) In a bit of staggering ball-dropping from Apple, iTunes books...

    Re: Instruments (as carry ons ) on airplanes

    You need to know your planes - my roll-aboard is 19"x9.5"x13" European spec (actual measurements, not manufacturer spec, because they all lie by not including wheels and handle) and it doesn't fit in...

    Re: Women with Mandolins

    Interesting - G C E A tuning, with the G and C as octaves and the E and the A as unison, like a mandolin. Bet you can't run down to Guitar Center and buy strings....

    While we're on the topic, does anyone have a recommendation for the smallest gig bag that a SAGA tele-style fits in? I've tried my cold tennis racquet bag and it's not a good fit.

    Re: Best Mando under $700???

    For just under $700, I bought an Eastman 504 last year (oval hole, probably not what you are looking for). For $795 I bought a 1918 Gibson A off ebay (also oval hole). I spent a lot of time reading...
