Boris, there is no absolute RH value at which all wooden instruments will crack or begin to separate at the seams. It depends on such things as the level of humidity at which the instrument was put...

In my experience, reducing the AO by nearly a whole step will produce a significant and noticeable difference in the overall bass/treble balance. Increasing bass response while diminishing the high...
I once answered that question from a youngster like this, `I don`t know, I found it in a dumpster out back`.
I`m not sure why I decided to be such a jerk. :redface:
Here's one of my wife, Jody on her ride "Stella", an '82 Kawasaki 1000LTD that I customized it to her wishes.

The above demonstrates why I should always read over my posts before actually posting them. That second line should have read:
"It's all in fun and I'm glad you have all taken it that way."
I...
I certainly don't mean any disrespect. It's all in fun and I'm you have all taken that way.

1) No
2) It's basically mind over matter. That is, if you don't mind, it don't matter.
To me it would be aesthetically unpleasing but if it it doesn't bother you and the instrument is of little...
Awesome band! Great playing Elijah.
'nice to see you again at the IBMA a couple weeks back.
Back in '78, I sold my '77 Kawasaki 1000 LTD to buy woodworking machinery. 'no regrets but every spring for over 30 years I would see the guys (and gals) on their bikes and pine for my bike. So,...
You could even make up stuff, like the bike had room and pegs for two and that it had a keyed ignition. It would certainly make for more entertaining lyrics.
I'm another one of these old ##### that won't sign up with Facebook or google or any other "service" were I am the product. I learned (with the help of my wife) to build my own website and have it...
I've thought about doing what you are proposing. Unfortunately, the small, flat bottomed planes that I have don't have thick enough soles to be able to accommodate the amount of curvature required....
Welcome to the forum.
I'm a fan of Golden Gate picks as well and like you, they are too blunt for my liking. I reshape them with various grits of sandpaper finishing off with 600 Grit and then...
If it were me, I would first try paint thinner (known in Canada as "Varsol") as it will not damage lacquer or most varnishes. If that doesn't work well, I would then go to Naphtha. It's a little...

I guess the seal is broken then. I hope we still hang on to the secret handshake. ;)

I think we should all settle on the cubit since that is God's measurement. The standard mandolin fingerboard width at the nut would then be 1/16thc or 1.125" or 1 1/8" or 28.575mm
It is easy to...
DePaule Supply also has a good selection of "blingy" truss rod covers. I believe they will also do custom work to your design.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the folks in southern Texas and anywhere else Harvey did his thing. I understand that the worst is over but I'm sure there will be lots of work to do before...
Be very careful with that drill. Sometimes, when enlarging a hole by just a small amount, the bit can grab and pull it's way down the hole very rapidly, causing all kinds of tear out. That's why I...
You are absolutely right. In the case of new instruments from prominent manufacturers, I don't think anyone could beat Mandolin Bros. for price. His prices were so low that it really irked the big...
I subscribed to "The Vintage News" all through the eighties and nineties. ('not sure of the exact dates) I subscribed mainly for the entertaining style of Stan's prose but received an education in...
Thanks, I didn't realize that Flatt and Scruggs were in the band that early.
