I wanted to use it for a Wienman F-5 but it was too tight a fit. My Gilchrist wouldn’t fit either. They could be wedged in but no chance with a Tonegard.

I wanted to use it for a Wienman F-5 but it was too tight a fit. My Gilchrist wouldn’t fit either. They could be wedged in but no chance with a Tonegard.
I recently took possession of a Saga Superior 1520 case. It was new old stock and I think they are discontinued. I’ve discovered that it is an extremely tight fit for any of my F-5s and I’m wondering...
It’s their Cremona finish.
Looking forward to this, thanks for posting!
To illustrate your point and to show how the individual player's technique influences tone, the Tone Poets album that Grisman produced features Crusher being played by a number of top artists....
Thanks for the good info, Rob, I do appreciate it!

You can see now why I don't post very often! If anyone cares to tell me how to turn this picture around I'd appreciate it!
Hey all, just a quick update. I've had my Wienman for just a little over a year and it is continuing to open up in all aspects of tone and volume. I'm amazed by how much fun it is to play, thanks in...
Hey Stephen, it has been awhile, hope all is well with you and your family. I think the seller did not know what he had because it was not the correct cover for a Calton. It's possible he washed and...
Are all Canadian made Calton mandolin cases the same size? I put an ad in the wanted classifieds here looking for a case cover for one and found a Small Dog cover that the owner claimed would fit and...
Compton is unequalled in capturing the spirit of Monroe’s music! What a labor of love to bring these tunes out of obscurity for us to enjoy! Mike’s interpretations, his style, and his tone pay homage...
[QUOTE=PatLong;1844766]Nice, very nice looking Kentucky!! Question, how it feels to play with a pick guard ?[/QUOTE
They just work better for my right hand playing position. I switched after...
197659197658197657 PatLong, I see now that my info was incorrect and I apologize for the confusion. I had the month and year reversed. I looked at my KM1000 for confirmation, which I should have done...
I think the used price range for these is in the $1100 - $1500 depending on condition. The one in the picture looks like it's been played a lot and has the player rash on the top to show for it. It...
I have one of these and called SAGA to get info. From what I learned about serial numbers it looks like yours was made in August of 2001, 0801, and was the 166 instrument made that year, 0166, hence...
Thanks for all the comments on my new Wienman. I've had it a couple of weeks now and am enjoying playing it more every day. The fit and finish are excellent and it compares favorably with any of the...
193114193113It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here but wanted to share a couple of pics of the new Wienman I ordered and picked up on Thursday. Wes and Will were a pleasure to work with and this one...
Thanks for the reply and input. I'm going to try his upcoming Zoom workshop and go from there.
I'm interested in taking up some virtual lessons during this pandemic and would like to get feedback and reviews from those of you who have enrolled and participated in the Patreon course offered by...
I have some Pro Plec 1.5mm rounded tri-corner. You said 346 but also mentioned having difficulty finding 'big thick picks'. Isn't the 346 a 46mm,which is pretty thin? As Marty suggested, Maple Street...
The price in 2006 was $22.5k,same as today.
I recently purchased a used Collings MT-2V and wanted to switch to a James tailpiece. I called Collings and was told that the screw spacings do not match up and that the stock holes would need to be...
Yes, Darryl, Mandolin Brothers credit themselves with starting the re-issue market when they approached Martin in 1977 to commission 225 D28s and 91 D45s to be built over a 10 year period. Those...

In retrospect it was probably late 2002 or early 2003,not 2000,that I purchased DL #8 from Doyle.MAS,in its advanced stages,may cause severe memory loss. (Just ask my wife-"Honey,I don't know where...
