Thanks again for all the help! I worked again last night and now have the mandolin very playable all the way up the neck. Since I consider myself to basically be a beginner, this will take me quite...

Thanks for help. I have gotten most of the buzz out but still have a little when I play hard. Got tired of messing with it last night so put it away until tonight.

Upon close examination I have discovered that 8th fret is higher than the others. I have adjusted the wheels some but am thinking I should try to file that fret a little.

I recently acquired a used savannah 200 series all solid wood mandolin. I had previously played my son's kentucky 250s. The mandolin has good action and intonation with one exception. When I did...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm going to try and repair it this week.:)

The tailpiece on my savannah S200 has a loose screw. The lower screw has pulled out of the wood. If there a simple fix?

Anyone have helpful suggestions? I have never done this before.

Randy is such a great guy and a tremendous asset to bluegrass music!

I don't come to this forum very often. Mandolin is my #3 instrument. Interestingly enough, I came here looking for opinions on Breeloves for bluegrass. could someone address that?

I'll remember that the next time I cut grass!

I say amen to the ebay experience. I have bought several good instruments off ebay. The only exception being the cheap mando I bought for my son to learn on. I still have it. It is very playable...

Thanks Jim,
Maybe some other folks will weigh in.

I played the guitar for many years and decided a few years ago to branch out. I tried learning both mandolin and banjo at the same time. Due to work schedule I had to choose one or the other. At...

I had played a morgan monroe that was all mahogany. There was not any other quality mandolins in that store so there was nothing to compare it to.

How do ya'll feel about these for bluegrass?

Thanks folks!

I asked an epiphone question awhile back. Here goes the fender question. Would this be a good step up from my Kentucky KM250s? I would probably buy a used one.

Thanks for replies. I don't believe I've ever seen one in the store. If I did it was before I was ever interested in playing the mandolin. I am saving a little change here and there.
Actually the...

Actually I am currently playing a Kentucky 250s.

Is this a good step-up mandolin? If any one has owned one please give me a good review comparative to others in the same price range.

Thanks for responses.

I was once told that a Tacoma mandolin would not work for bluegrass. If not, why? Was this just preference of the person who said that? BTW I have never played one. Just
curious....

I agree with everything Bradley said. It is not about entertainment. Many churches in our area are now much more accepting of bluegrass than ever. I do believe it has to do with the rise of the...

Matt,
I am also new to the forum as well as to playing the mandolin. I currently play a Kentucky
250s A-style. I am watching several extremely good deals on e-bay. Unfortunately, watching is all...
