It's not the amps that are the problem....it's the speakers. I'm a tube amp nut, although I do have the little Fishman. Tube amps are Blues Jr, HotRod Deluxe, and my Wendler electroCoustic amp. I...
Here's the latest mandolin related build(Mando-guit). Regular electroCoustic "MagPi" system, on both a 13 7/8" 8-string format, and a 25 1/2" guitar format. No preamps on board. A new twist in the...
Fiddles are solid carved western red cedar. Yes, fretted.
Range is C2 to G4, about 3 1/2 octaves. Scale 25". No recordings of the fiddles.
Shipped the mandolin last week; the mandocellectra went out today. 25" scale, with my standard MagPi system. #'s 213, 214, 215.

Actually, my mandolins are NOT hollow, and do not have "tone chambers". They are solid lumber, carved from WR cedar. The body is actually only about 1/2" thick under the center of the instrument,...
I like to keep it simple.....here's the new monogram logo for my instruments. I will be modifying the logo just slightly....am trying to locate a pearl jobber to imprint "Wendler" and "Kansas City"...
Been a while since I posted....but thought you all would like to see an instrument I made for the Smoky Hill River festival in Salina, KS a month ago. Pretty standard electrocoustic construction(...
15" scale
gloss finish
for spreading the word about our obsession:

It helps that he works for the Kansas City Star. One of the sisters who own the Loar called me at...
It's been my experience that hide glue itself can be the problem...wait, let me rephrase that....the FORMULATION of the glue can be the problem. Since it's always mixed up fresh, and sometimes by...
Keeps me in the poorhouse.
The string gauge issue is a red herring. You should be able to use the strings you want to on it.
The problem is the NUT IS TOO TIGHT. What happens is, you tune to pitch, but the length of string...
IMHO, the BEST solution is a Fender Blues Jr. tube amp with an Eminence Beta12LT speaker. Use a Sennheiser e609 mic to send a signal to the monitors...you just hang it over the front of the...
My current favorite acoustic guitar in my stable is a Gitane Selmac copy. I made a new tailpiece for the guitar after I discovered there is more tone and volume to be had by REDUCING the break angle...
AS any comedian will tell you, "It's not the joke, it's the delivery"
Beautiful.
I have my local Sherwin/Williams store order this in for me. About $60/gal, and will do five or six instruments. First a quick wash coat to raise any grain, then "color' coats with StewMac...
Fortunately, sound gear improves every season; it's markedly easier to deal with, smaller, lighter, louder and more accurate than it was when I started out performing in the sixties. I've always paid...
I would recommend measuring at the 12th fret...simply because you can use it as a direct reference( that is, 1X height change at 12th = 2x height change at bridge ). This allows the technician to be...
I use a waterborne floor finish on my instruments exclusively. As stated before, it has it's positive attributes and the negatives....
Positives: water clean up, quick cure...and essentially...
Non-belief of course....until they did a bit of research. Then, it was they didn't want the responsibility of insuring and repairing the family heirloom. So it's up for sale.
Okay...it's in the classified section for sale....I've also loaded up a couple more photos.
Three more shots.....
