Boy, had to search low and high. I got close with one at Elderly at an OK price but the shipping put it over $200. I need something for New England winter humidification. Anyway, just got this case...

Just got the recommended case and it fits great. I wouldn't too it from a truck but more than OK for in house humidification in dry months. Thanks a lot for the suggestion kmmando and Huck!
Definitely. You can go heavier on the lower end and it gets even better. My G string is a 46. I did the same mods you did. Had an uneven fret issue around 13th fret that caused buzzing on the E...
Finally was able to order one of these cases, thanks so much for the information. If you see this message, could you give a brief overview of what you did to retrofit this for the Tenor Tele? I can...
I am, yes and agree and also taking Matt Flinner's Octave course. Something is bound to stick, I figure.
"Sam Brown Hill" is addictive too - also from Joe's course. Finally have that down. And, you did a great job on Inverness - very smooth. Something for me to aspire to (next).
I love my Eastman OM, I've got and had lots of instruments and I just think for what the price is, it's a very strong value and the sustain is amazing.
I tried the parlor. The Recording King tenor is much nicer (I have one) at a cheaper price

Well this has been a good learning experience for me. I got the ROST-7-TS yesterday and as I said elsewhere, the truss rod was cranked all the way to the right. All 4 strings were hitting most of the...
That's gonna be nice. A while back, I asked Max to build an F5 for me (I have a wonderful Girouard A5, now 2 years old). I met Max in 2013 at a Mando Festival and bought an A5 he had with him, then...
Just want to weigh in and offer that my experience (twice now) with Max and Lauri Girouard has been fantastic. Max sent me an A5 about a year and a half ago and though I do check out other things and...
Thanks to everyone on this thread for inspiring me to break this book out in a more serious fashion. It looks like it will really help a lot. And, for those of you who might be interested, here's...
I've always been a fan of Tim O'Brien's right hand example - like this, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62db5rMc2ns
Girouard A5 that was delivered to me just before Christmas, 2018. Smitten. Just put new strings on today. A beautiful piece of work from Max and Lauri.

This weekend, I attended the March Mandolin Festival in Concord, NH. Great event in it's 9th or 10th year, my first time. I had been seeing references to Girourad here in the forum and I saw some...
