    Re: Free V-Picks - Right Here

    I never, ever, ever win anything. So, I won't be surprised if I don't win these picks. My XYL calls me an optimist -- that's funny.

    Re: Eastman 515 v. 315

    My Eastman 515 is a sweet sounding mandolin. It actually sounds better than my Eastman 815 and Weber Bitterroot. I don't know about the Eastman 315 -- It would be hard to go wrong with a 515 in my...

    Re: Brand New and Looking to Buy First Mandolin!

    That looks like a Gallatin F Octave Mandolin. I have one of these and it is awesome sounding as most Weber Gallatin models.

    Re: Body Binding - Does it serve a purpose?

    Violins use purfling that serves to protect the plates from damage from impacts to the edge and keeps cracks from extending into the the top and bottom plate.
