103342 I would suggest one like this. Not really an all terrain stool. The ground would have to be level. Very comfortable. $150 at Axe Music in Edmonton. I have a friend with one. He says it's the...

I may be a bit bias since I just bought one, but my vote has to go to the Martin HD28. I've tried a number of different guitars and I kept going back to the 28 series Martin. This particular HD sang...

+1 on the CA Bridge. And a big +1 on Steve being a great guy to deal with. I ordered one from him last year and then had it fitted to my Mando. Steve answered all my questions prior to buying, no...

I use guitar strings on my electric Mandocaster. I picked the guages that I want and cut them down to length. I've had no problems. Basically I think a string is a string?

Congrats Marc, she looks like a beautiful mando.

Your right Mike. Canada Post doesn't have anything to do with customs. I shouldn't have worded that better.

I just go an email notification this morning. My new JB A5 is being shipped. USPS to Alberta Canada = 10 days or so I'm expecting. Depending on whether or not it gets held up at customs? When ever I...

I just wanted to chime in on the rose wood bridge discussion a bit. I am no expect on woods at all. I did read some articles on the net over the past year, that stated that rose wood is as durable as...

Congrates Dave.

If M.A.S. and G.A.S keep up I'm going to have to build a bigger music room to keep everything in! Even I'm questioning my sanity.

Caleb, I have to agree with you. I do prefer this one over the current production model.

DataNick, The JB's don't seem to get the recognition that they deserve. My F5 Dorado is one of the Korean...

As anyone who has seen my posts before, I am very happy with my JB F5 Dorado.(bought 1 1/2 years agao)So much so that I contacted Jeff last night to ask about buying another one of his mandolins. I...

I did find this while looking for info on the net. This is from vintageinstruments.com

BFM - 0002 ca. 1905 "Artist Model" Bowlback Mandolin EXC A fine example of the 'state of the art' in...

I suppose it could be Steve. Just a knot though. I never could figure out how to tie an actual noose. I thought the same thing when I looked at the pictures that I took. That's how it was on the wall...

Thanks for you opinion Allen. It does appear to be very similar. Looks like a few differences. I will try and have a better look inside with a light and a mirror and see if there are any markings...

I changed out the stock Bovier tail piece with an Allen AR2 cast one. I would't say there were any big sound changes. Maybe alittle more sustain? I love the way it looks and ot os easier to change...

I picked this up a an antique store this weekend for $49.00 It's defiantly in rough shape. Lot's of old and not very well done repairs. It's just a wall hanger in my...

How about "Three 4 Dinner"?

RX, about the buzzing? Is it a fret buzz or something eles? Check your strap button on the end. Also check to make sure all the knobs on the tuners are tight, and that nuts on the top side of the...

If the band that goes around the mic that says Shure. If it's a sticker it's a fake. I to got sucked into a pair of SM-57 fakes. One works better then the other. I did a google search and had found...

DocScan will allow you to open PDF's on the iPad. You can also use OnSong to open and save your music files. OnSong is an great app for tab/music and for lyrics. I highly recommend it!

I have great respect for all classic Bluegrass. I'm not a fan of the high pitched/high lonesome sound, but I respect it. I do prefer more progressive stuff.

It was back in the early 80's. I was around 11 or 12 years old. A music store that I took my first lessons at had a young banjo player and mandolin player that they were working with. At the time I...

I had a CA bridge installed on my J Bovier f5 dorado. I feel it made a difference in the tone. Thanks Steve for a great bridge.

The picks wearing fast. That is to be expected and that is why they are sold in bulk at a low price. I was just like you. I'd played the guitar first, then moved to mandolin. I started with my guitar...

You could do alot worse then the Ibanez. I had one as my first F style. It was stamped as a 2nd. It was okay. I changed the tail piece to a cast, (ashton baily)lowered the bridge height, and adjusted...
