He certainly liked his convoluted soundholes.

They look like they were generally built to a pretty high level of quality.

I like the "cross-eyed" soundholes and the general look, though it also seems to me that this mandolin was stored in adverse conditions. Can you see light through the ribs? I also believe that that...

Not so easy - the fretboards on these Neapolitans are wafer thin and usually cut right through (meaning they come off one fret at a time, not in one piece). They use bar frets as well, not T-frets,...

Hi Kieran,

I've looked at your website and clearly I owe you an apology. Your shop does indeed have exactly what Jack is looking for and well within his budget.

I'm not familiar with either...

Looks to be in good shape - nice find!

You might get in contact with Moloney music in Galway the owner posts on here sometimes. http://www.moloneymusic.com/

I agree. If you want to call it a wooden stringed musical instrument that would probably suffice. You can't argue with that description. If it was moving as domestic freight within the US it would...

Try posting a Waldzither and see the Post Office employee write in large letters on the label: World Zipper.

Just call it "musical instrument".

How about octave mandolin? Bouzoukis can be seen as a long scale octave mandolin, so I think simply declaring it an OM would work.

This is the unfortunate consequence of some luthiers and performers in the UK folk scene abusing the name "mandocello" to mean "big-bodied bouzouki". Steve Knightley of Show Of Hands in particular...

I wonder if some of these DeMeglio "clones" weren't in fact made in the DeMeglio shop and relabeled by others. DeMeglio made a lot of mandolins over the years: their serial numbers range up to...

Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum and new to mandolins generally. My Uncle gave me this old mandolin 30 years ago and apart from putting strings on it to see if It would make a nice sound and a...

Hello guys!

I'm pleased to announce that I finally made the plunge: I bought my first mandolin!
I chose The Loar LM-700-VS w/ CA bridge and extension scoop (it arrived last Friday from Moloney...

There is more to Europe than just Germany ;)



Brexit has only been voted for, not executed yet. I never paid customs when I ordered my Fylde back in the 00's, and exchange rates are much more...

As Groucho said, "I wouldn't join any club that'll have me as a member."

Here is that mandolin in action during the post-Robertson era, with the shift: Helm moving from drums to mandolin, Manuel from piano to drums, Hudson from organ to piano, and Danko from bass to...

This is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, The curator mistakes it for an F-5 but obviously it is an F-4.

Here's my reply from Andy - hopefully there'll be another regarding use on albums!

Dear Michael,
I am one of the great dwellers on the past, so don’t be ashamed of asking...

Remember the Strad cello that was stolen in Los Angeles and later fished out of a Dumpster? For the past 18 months it's been under restoration here in Seattle. Interesting story about it here:...

You better not be laughing at my case stickers! After getting ready for work came out this morning to my daughter upping my street cred. Think I'll leave them on :)

Martin Howley playing his Collings F. They were absolutely shredding some Irish tunes and no b.s. The guy is the real deal. Sorry for the bad photos. The lighting in the showcase rooms varies from...

Well, I succumbed to higher end Tenor-dom.
