I have a pair of Breedloves: Legacy FF and Quartz FF. Both were made in Bend, OR, before Breedlove moved their mandolin manufacture to China. I bought both from Dennis Vance at the Mandolin Store...

I can't remember all the brand names but I'll try to tell you what we use.

First, we use a Sound Town rack/road case. We modified to include an light and two power strips inside. On top is a...

Yeah and you wanna know why I've never done it? I don't know. It's one of those things you put off for weeks or even months (or years) But, finally, you do it in 5 minutes but still don't learn...

I do CNC router and laser work. First, the non-industrial routers and lasers are quite accurate and the routers could easily handle slotting fingerboards. That's a minor problem. I've never done...

All the notes are sharp, aren't they?

I have two Gibby Mandos and that the first and last time you'll hear it like that from me. They're mandolins.

A time machine to back up a little? 80 is on the horizon.

It ain't broke. Don't fix it.

Back in the late 50s, my father made one for his Slingerland Songster guitar. It sounded (still sounds) pretty good. I have the guitar now but I don't play it.

Great point

I used tung oil on most all the dulcimers i made in the past. It's been over 10 years since I made my last one. I buffed them with 0000 steel wool for a great finish.

Daddy Buck White sings and plays mandolin with them. Sharon is married to Ricky Skaggs.

I know this is an old thread but I have to admit I have 3 of his arm rests: one on the Blevins octave, one on the Breedlove Quartz FF and one on the Gibson F5L. The workmanship is impeccable.

I've been a bluegrass fan since the 50s and a Willie fan since the mid 60s. The album ain't bluegrass. You can't call it bluegrass just because it has mandolins, banjos and Dobros. And a bluegrass...

Our band's first CD in 2010 was put on all the services. We made a total of 17¢. We didn't bother with subsequent CDs. We made more selling them at gigs.

I usually check this forum quite regularly, about 5 days a week, and I've noticed a double-standard in some of the responses.

It's time to play devil's advocate.

In a recent thread, someone...

Are you really going to be storing it in the sun and heat? Unless you are, pick your favorite color and don't worry about it.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I believe I have my MAS in remission. Actually, I don't call it a pandemic anymore. I refer to it as “everything going on” because it has had such a wide-reaching...

Yeah. Famous last words.

My MAS only vacillates commensurate with the amount of money available. It's always chronic but every once in a while, it becomes acute. A couple of weeks ago, it was acute. I ended up treating it...

Am I missing something? What difference does it make how old we are or whether we're male or female? (I refuse to further define that, political correctness notwithstanding. That's for another...

I've got it now. Amazon is responsible for COVID-19. I'm glad we finally cleared that up.

Well, for me, this is just another reason not to own a cat.
