    Re: Amps for electric mando

    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...

  7. Re: Electric Mandolins? Do you like it? or Hate it?

    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,...

    Re: Headstock pictures

    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"...

    Re: Another Eastman goes POP!

    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...

    Re: Mann EM-5 not staying in tune

    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...

    Re: Amplifiers

    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...

    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...
  20. Re: Personal observations over several decades of live work

    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...
  21. Re: General String Height - Action / Set up / Style Survey

    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...

  23. Re: Who's the best for restoring a real Loar F5?

    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.
