    Re: Love for Ovals

    Count me in, I love the oval sound. '24 A Jr and and Collings MT2-O here. Owned plenty others also. The Gibson is loud and cranky and sonorous and a finicky little thing - a true joy, the pinnacle of...
  3. Re: New Kentucky KM-606 mandolins are in the wild!

    Make sure you look at the necks, the Eastman is a bit narrower and more of a 'V', which didn't agree with my hand. The Kentucky I had around the same time (years ago) was a bit wider and more of a...

    Re: Octave mandolin less-expensive choices

    Gives it a much fuller sound, way more bass. Gave it some authority. I’ve tried the ‘blue’ EJ72 lights and the ‘orange’ EJ76 mediums. The 76’s definitely gave it a fuller sound but the difference...

    Eastman MDO 305, get a set of mandola strings with it. Elderly has one on the way. Have them hold it for you.

  10. Re: String preferences for Collings MTO oval mandolins?

    Classical, Celtic, World, Nordic, Scottish, Folk, etc. The oddball stuff. Not much Bluegrass, but occasionally I like to learn an Monroe tune.
  11. Re: String preferences for Collings MTO oval mandolins?

    I put the Thomastiks (Heavy, whatever they call that) on the MTO last night, played it for about a half hour, tuned it back up and put it away. Came home today, every string was still in tune except...

    Re: Where are the ' Big guys ' ?

    I’m pretty sure Gilchrist stopped coming here because he kept getting skipped over on the traveling pick sampler.
  13. Re: String preferences for Collings MTO oval mandolins?

    I have a set on mine now, I think. They mellow it similar to the Silk and Steel and Monels. I liked them but not quite as much as the ones I just listed.

    I get a little longer out of them than I do a phosphor bronze.

    23 A Jr as evidence. Bought from the family of the original owner. Original bridge (not adjustable) and ebony nut. Strings were so old when I got it they disintegrated upon contact. Refret, set-up...
