  1. Re: Looking for a good mid-level octave mandolin..

    Guitar Center/Musicians Friend had a 300 and a 600 series Eastman octave this morning. Anyone looking for something under $1000 or $1500 will get a pretty good deal.

    Re: Overcoming halted progress and frustration

    Try break it down in phrases, and get those up to speed. Then try stringing two phrases together, and get those up to speed. Then string a third to the first two, etc. I’ve worked on East...

    Re: Best Place to Look for Used Collings

    Nice, Pat, but I only have a few Collings mandolins left. Although TME currently has my last and all time favorite MT2v there. I had COVID late last year and have now developed some issues with my...

    Re: D'Adarrio humidipak with Big Mon

    Boveda has a similar system for violin and viola instruments. It’s a much smaller system.

  5. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    I’m not keen on banning specific tunes or songs but I have to say if you bring a tune or song to a jam you should be able to play and or sing it well enough to lead it so that others can follow along.

    Re: Top Current Makers

    Larry Smart is making some of the best mandolins available out there. And unlike some of his more elusive brethren, he is happily taking orders and the wait is not years and years.

    Re: A Style “Holy Grail?

    Fatt-dad has the right idea. I am lucky enough to own a lot of terrific mandolins including two Heiden A5s. My feeling is, think about (and enjoy playing) what you have rather than wish you had...

  10. Re: Heiden's....the most expensive modern mandolin builder?

    Mark, I believe that our Heidens were probably built around the same timeframe in 2018.
  11. Re: Heiden's....the most expensive modern mandolin builder?

    I think Nugget’s prices are in line with Heiden’s. The last F5 in the Classifieds was priced somewhat low. The one at Carters before that was in the $30k range. The used A5 at TME this summer was...

    Don’t forget Nugget.

    I think for at least a bit these are going to be sold directly from Northfield.
  14. Re: What’s going on with low inventory of mandolins at shops?

  17. Re: Why do some higher end mandos return to the market so quickly

    Many people lease their vehicles for one reason or another. Many of the newer cars you see on lots have been turned in for some other model. And sadly, the repo rate on cars has hit an all time...

    Re: Ellis-Pava A modlels no longer being made?
