I have one and love it. Firstly I would contact Sound to Earth and buy it directly from them. If your mando is not a Weber they will customize it for you and get it right. I asked Verne Breeke to...

Best uprgrade after set up was the armrest-tail piece that Weber makes. Looks so cool and plays much more comfortable. Oh don't forget the Wood Nymph and you right hand will be so happy!!!

Without getting into classical physics, if it leans fowoard toward the fingerboard it is more likely to flop over during a string change and do some damage. I like to cut the feet so they lean back...

I got the one with the built in arm rest. Kind of cool looking and functional. Tell Vern it is for an MK and to bull nose the radius. It makes it much more comfortable. The tailpiece itself is cast...

I have a Dragonfly II. All I can say is that with proper set up it is a nice practice instrument and nothing to be ashamed of. I took the time to properly set bridge as it was listing toward...

Vern Brekke at Soundtoearth makes one out of ebony with the solid tailpiece built in. They bull nosed the radius at my request and want to make sure you are completly satisfied. Improves sound and...

Think I will get a file set. Stew Mac has some sold individually. Should they match the exact size or should I get ones that would fit larger diameter strings I might use occasionally.

To deepen the grooves or to make new ones do I need a seperate file for each string? If so what sizes should I buy?
Mike

I have a problem with getting a clear note on lower frets of E string. How do I measure tolerances of nut if the fingerboard is radiused?? Are the grooves in the nut set to high?

Just got a no-name bowlback and want to make it look good. Any suggestions on readily available materials that I could scab into where the old pickguard was?
Mike

Does anyone see a problem with changing the scale length of an old bowlback up to a 13 3/4? I have one that needs a new fretboard and do not like playing on the smaller scale. Also any suggestions on...

A ways back I posted to see if anyone insalled the new armrest\tailpiece from Weber. Since I got no feedback here is some for you. The holes line up and the radius is perfect. The button will need to...

If you buy one from Oklahoma Vintage Guitar ask for Bobby. Tell him what you are looking for, he seems to have a deep understanding. I got a great deal on a Dragonfly II with a great sound. Be...

Eugene,
The pics on that former thread look nothing lik this one. Again, please allow me to thank you for that information. This one has the tuners that are the older style. I play some old...

I am ready to be committed and for the comittment but would really like to know if it is an easy mod especially for the MK. I talked to Weber and they said they believe the tail button is larger on...

Has anyone used the new Weber armrest on their mando? Seems like a great product and it has a built in tail piece.
Mike

I know someone who had six fingers. He did'nt play the mando but if he did could he tune his in sixths like the Pastoral...la da di da di da da di dadidadadida!

I came across a very old Stella (Sorry I can't post pics). It has 38 staves, very nice floral inlay pic gard. Old style tuners with the plate that hides the gears that work very well after a clean...

Thanks for the advice Bob. I will have to learn how to post pictures someday. What is French polish?
Mike

I have a turn of the century oscar scmidt stella bowlback. It has 38 staves and is very playable. It has an ok finish for its years but I would not mind having it refinished to make it look better,...

I am old to violin and new to mando. I studied the classics but also did lots of improvising with contemporary and folk.Your freinds will have to loose the security of the scores and depend on their...

Thanks for the reply. I decided to order one and risk the shipping. I am currently playing a lower end Washburn and looking for better playability and a decent sound. I am not a pro like many of the...

Has anybody personally experienced the new MK Dragonfly? I have heard that it is loud and very playable and a good bang for your buck but that was from a dealer over the phone. I appreciate your...
