    Re: Cars and instruments.

    Great answer mishima!

    Keith, I don't have any answers, I only know that it's a whole lot easier to buy a mandolin than it is a car.

    Hey Scanbran, great to see you here at the Cafe :) Nice photo, and I really enoyed the soundclip. Nice playing, and the Fylde definitely suits that style.

    Re: don't touch my mandolin!

    Humidifying a fragile old bowlback?
