I’ve been playing flatwounds exclusively for the past 8 years and more exclusively Pyramid Gold heavies.

Such a gorgeous mandolin
It’s really heart warming to see so much love for oval hole mandos! I too just love there ton!

I’m happy to see them still making mandolins still.
I’m making the switch from mandolin to Tenor and plan on GDAE tuning as I play mostly blues/jazzy stuff
That’s a great tip!
I’m glad you posted this. I see the tail piece they use takes loop end strings. I’m planning on stringing this OM tuning GDAE and might have to use gypsy jazz strings to get the thicker gauge.

Never been to Dusty Strings but I was lucky enough to snag this Waterloo WL-M after seeing it pop up on their Instagram account back in ‘20.

Great sounding mando!!
Love the tailpiece and armrest! The armrest looks like it matches the back and sides pretty well too.
Gorgeous!
I’m still working my way to 1,000 posts. Congrats on the mile marker JB!

Sounds good in the white!

Looks and sounds so good!
So good that I watched a few times!
Also use a Dude String Winder and been loving it’s for the past four years.
Don’t forget Waterloo’s WL-M. It’s a flattop design but after owning one for a month or so it definitely hangs with an arch top oval-hole.
