They worked on my octave before I sold it.

Nice instrument Martin.

That is what I am thinking about, just flat top and with a round soundhole.

About 6 months ago I got out of the mando world and hopped over to the Tenor Guitar world. #I swapped my mando for 2 tenors, both Regals and like them. #However, I find I am gravitating toward the...

That makes sense, thanks for the help.

Should I measure from the back/tuner side of the nut to the 12th fret, or the front/fret side of the nut? #I tried the search feature, and learned some answers to other questions related to this, but...

Gary,

Do you have a picture of the headstock from the front, straight on? #Looks interesting, but it is tough to see on the angle.

Thanks, Nate

Mine fits in the Eastman fiberglass case.

Nate

I will admit that I saw this also, and it did not have a bridge. #I will also admit that since I was watching on my Tivo, I actually backed it up and watched it in slow motion to confirm. #The other...

Don,

Have you ever considered producing a mandola kit?

Nate

In the classified there is a Rigel R200 Mandola that Ken Cartwright has for sale. #This is well outside the budget, but he if you read the listing it he says he has a Flatiron Cadet for cheap. #No...

This on really did speak to me, but after seeing what similar instruments are going for, I have a hard time justifying the extra expense. #I think I am going to sit back a while, think about what I...

I hadn't thought about a search so thanks. #

This is the first time I had seen one in person, so I think I was impressed with the feel and balance. #I also liked the gloss finish over the pictures...

I wandered into my local Guitar Center, and lo and behold is a used Gallatin hanging on the wall. #Pretty basic, mahogany back, spruce top, gloss finish upgrade. #After market pick-up and tailpiece....

I think that Nathaniel is asking some questions that are a little bit different than the standard "how to" and "why do it" questions. #

I don't know the answers, but my guess would be that...

The store was probably Frank's Violins. #I know they had one a month or two ago, and were hoping to have some more in late June. #No financial interest, just happened to be there a couple of weeks to...

Mine is a one piece, however a replacment. The guy who set-up mine said it wasn't the height at the bridge, but the spacing of the strings. My only buzzing now is at the first fret, but that is a nut...

Bob,

That is too bad. it isn't that wife dislikes the one, she just likes the octave better. I hope you can get enough info to make a decision.

Nate

Bob, Just thought of this. I have had two other people play it and really like it, particularly for the price. My teacher, mostly a guitar guy, but also a good mandolin player, was really impressed,...

Bob, I would buy it again, and other than a set-up which required a new bridge, I haven't done much to it. #In the near future I will replace the nut(thanks for the instructive article and nut...

Thanks guys. I contacted Weber and Gibson and they said the same.

Nate

I was at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival this weekend, which is a folk art type fair, and they had a couple of "stages" with old-time and folk type preformers. #It was very interesting because I...

Brian

Also look at the depth of the slots on the nut. #I picked up mine last night and even with the new bridge I was still getting a buzz. #We found that the nut was cut too deep and one G string...

On the low end buzz, I took it to a luthier near me for a set-up and he thinks that the G strings are too close at the bridge. #I ordered an uncut bridge from Elderly and will keep you updated. This...

If you right click, on the red x, save the link to your favorites and then follow that link you can see the picture. #A little involved, but it is a neat assortment of mandolins.

I just bought a MA-550 and want to add a strap button. I have seen them mounted on top of and on the back of the heel. Which is better/recommended? Also thinking about switching to GHS strings with...
