    I would suggest taking a look at the Breedlove OF and FF mandolins in the

    Re: Anyone have a Loar LM520?

    I don't have a horse in the race (and don't want one). I'm going to chime in only because I'm curious about something. I have played the LM-520 mandolin more than once here at a shop locally. It was...

    Shawn,

    Re: Gibson A- With Original Hang Tag

    And with a $1100- Buy It Now- price. That's $500 knocked off of the previous one.

    Scott, I think MAS is still calling.:grin:

    Re: Gibson A- With Original Hang Tag

    Wow. One day left on this Gibson and not one bid.:popcorn:

    Maybe it's because of the bid minimum of $1,000. I would think it's worth that though.

    Now the newer version is described as having a hand-carved solid spruce top and hand-carved figured maple back and sides.

    Re: How to make music

    Re: FFcP vs regular scales

    The main thing is to just have fun playing and learning. If you just pick up the mandolin and noodle around with it every day you will learn a lot. You can find little riffs and turn a rounds just by...

    Re: Help on decision wanted!

    FWIW-I own a Kentucky 380S and I've been very happy with it. The sound is very good and the flame maple is really nice on the back and neck.

    Gibson A- With Original Hang Tag

    That is something.

    No one has placed a bid on this one yet, but then there are 9 days left.
    I just wonder how much the original hang tag will add to the final bid price?

    Re: flats or sharps

    I think it's really all about modes and intervals as to what emotions are implied in a song.

    II Dorian
    III Phrygian
    IV Lydian
    V MixoLydian
    VI Aolean/Minor

    Ben,
    No problem at all. :)
    After I looked at our time stamps on the posts I realized that is probably what had happened.
    Sorry, I merely over-reacted a bit.

    Re: Mandolin Tasting- The Down Side

    Chip,
    Having my own mandolin with me when I try out another one is a very good idea. That's a very logical thing to do but somehow it never crossed my mind. Thanks.

    Oopps...my bad, I didn't look at the headstock photo. That's a shame. :(

    Gibson A on Ebay

    Outside of the play wear to the top this Gibson looks decent. I wonder what model and year it is?
    Not sure, but it looks like it might have binding. Not a bad $$ so far.
