  1. Re: Six strings are just too much! (but 8 might work...)

    I understand that the Pono OM can also be strung up DGBE. I'm primarily a guitar player - but I do dabble with the mandolin. I'd love to buy a high end archtop OM but I have a tough time justifying...
  2. Re: Tenor Banjo suggestion for beginner Mando player

    Re: A-4 in ads

    I just saw this thread and it has me thinking it is time to list my 1916 A-4 for sale. I'll try to put it up on the Cafe' this weekend. I just can't justify keeping it because I am not playing any...

    Re: L baggs para acoustic d.i.

    I guess that is what I am trying to say. As time went on, after trying gazillions of different gizmos, I came around to a point of view somewhat different than you read on the forums a lot. My...

    Re: L baggs para acoustic d.i.

    I never liked the Para DI with K&K pick ups. I do like the Orchid with the K&K. Never understood why but my experience has been the the Orchid virtually eliminates the the need for eq. Very smooth...

    Re: Which arm rest??

    I did notice that the damage to the finish was only on the side where cork was used to pad the armrest. The other side was padded with a thin strip of leather. I may put mine back on but use...

    Re: Which arm rest??

    I like arm rests. But, I recently had the experience of a cork pad on one side of my arm rest causing what appears to be permanent imprinting in the finish of an old teens Gibson. Not sure I will...
  14. Re: Collings MT or Larrivee F33? .... which would you buy?

    I have not owned a Collings but I have played many and personally I agree with this - so I would certainly want to play the instruments before I committed to one or the other. There is an awful lot...

    Re: Ratliff, Old Wave, Silverangel, MT?

    I think that you should take two weekends and make two trips to all the shops in the Boston and New York area. Don't bring your wallet on the trips. Wait at least a week after that trip. Then buy...

    Re: A Strap with Some Teath in It

    I like a fairly narrow braided strap - the Bailey is perfect. I love it. No sliding but also no digging in. Just right.

  20. Re: K&K Mandolin Twin + Para DI... can I make it work?

    So I guess we can see - you will probably get as many opinions as there are users! I have come to the point after a lot of experimenting and lot of money flushed that I place a very high premium on...

    Re: Mando Armrests?

    I have an armrest on my Gibson A4. The main reason I got it is to prevent finish damage from the sweat on my arm. I removed it the other day just for the heck of it and I discovered that the cork...
  22. Re: K&K Mandolin Twin + Para DI... can I make it work?

    At the risk of showing my age - and revealing a bit about my time spent digging ditches as a strapping teenager - the correct name of the tool depicted is indeed "Pick Mattock". I expect you knew...
