That's super cool Steve! I love seeing your pictures of you pushing the boundries of the "ordinary" mandolin! Nice work!

Nice job, Dcav and Des! Hope to get mine posted this week. Hope others post as well:mandosmiley::mandosmiley::popcorn:

3rd show of the season if I counted correctly. We get it in the Burgh on a local station at 6 pm. We then listen to the same show at noon on Sunday...

A little tension will keep it from rattling.

Been years since logging into MandoCafe and went searching for Stanley Mando's... I had Chris build me an A-5 (3K$) numbered in the mid 60's...

OH YEAH MAN-they look awesome so if they sound as great as they look I don't know I think it would be hard not to get one if ya could! The total...

Just for good measure, here's a nice clip of Tom and the Heartbreakers doing an acoustic version of "Insider" with Stevie Nicks. Mike is playing...

They are doing a complete rebroadcast of the video on Sundays now. I was looking for some clips of the show and found it on now with just a half hour...

Here's one of my favorite clips of Mike playing that mandolin with the Heartbreakers.

Yes, it would be a good idea to snug it up. 1/8 turn or less will probably be sufficient.

So lucky!

Agree they are something special. I'm on Joe's waiting list and maybe 5-6 months away now. I'm looking at a Due (two point). Very excited.

Great minds run on the same gutter. I thought the same thing.

You feel comfortable to do a fret level on guitar? Have the tools already? Do it entyourself. Get Rob Meldrum's E book for the measurements. It is...

That would be the one I played. Here it is! It had great sustain. https://themusicemporium.com/mandolins/campanella-f-5-mandolin.6115

My reasoning: Everyone needs a beater to take camping. My Michael Kelly fits the bill splendidly. In a blatant effort to recruit another mandolin...

... And worth mentioning, unfortunately Buffalo Brothers is no longer open for business.

Link is the same result for me. This...errr...instrument reminded me somehow of this... https://pin.it/5nfwt2igjwqa3g

Please don’t use the “N” word. Its very offensive… 😉

The ancient oil varnishes, when thoughtfully formulated, prepared, and applied, can produce finishes that are absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps the OP's...

I know I'm breaking the unwritten rules of the Mandolin League here, but I'm still playing the first mandolin I bought, my only one, and very happy...

Clifford Essex "Gold Medal" model recently restored for a client: as best I can determine these were made in London between 1903 and 1919 after which...

That's a stunning build, Gary....and such a rich sound!

Exactly. The secret of the ancient Italians was whatever they had on sale at the Cremona hardware store....

I suspect that, at very least, Wright and Monroe were both listening to the same music. I'd note though, from the first note "Bluegrass Stomp" sounds...

The newest of these four was built for Darren Nicholson -- I love the perfect topographical grain lines on the flat-sawn maple back. Steve

He passed before I ever even knew I loved his style. Thank you for educating me and adding to my library. Blessings PS Anyone still picking...
