I am no expert but I would just talk to the other mandolin player and let him know you are happy to just play rhythm
I wouldn't go off half-cocked on this one.
Consult somebody who knows the law in your state.
Asking musicians for legal advice does not seem wise to me.
I know this-- a piece of paper with a...
Just strung up!:mandosmiley:
Hi,
I got tipped that this community would perhaps have some interest in this instrument.
This is a custom made mandolin made by Harald Hougaard of Norway. It is a normal scale mandolin tuned as...
Thank you everyone for your help and encouragement. I contacted Ken and I'll be a Fantasma owner very soon! Can't wait. Now, to figure out how to play it well. LOL
If you had to choose between your El Fantasma or the Econo A, which would you prefer?
Here are four of five Monteleonr mandolin family instruments that were in the NY Mandolin Orchestra circa 1985. John came to our concert and we took this quartet photo. There was one other person who...
Isn't that why they created bursts?
I guess it could be worse. You could play banjo.
Way to put the FUN in dysFUNctional, Martin...
Time to resurrect this old thread. There's a 1976 Danny Ferrington F5 on Ebay - actually two listings for the same instrument. Ships from Japan. Seems that there are some major instruments being...
As most of you know, we had a serious hardware issue with the server last night around 7:40 p.m. that wasn't discovered for an hour because, well, we have other things like families, other interests,...

I suggest you contact Charles Johnson of Mandolin World Headquarters, he has a huge collection of Martin mandolins. I am sure he could steer you in the right way.
Here is a link to his webite...
I'm typically not one to engage in open letters to the community, but something has been gnawing at my brain for a very long time. A few days ago I was contacted by a buyer with a question regarding...
Really? You don't know how many mandolins you own? Must be a nice problem to have.....I know exactly how many I own.........just one!
Wow, if signed Loars were made that nicely, they'd be worth a ton of money now.
The only thing I avoided was binding on the back, everything else is there like top of the line, and the price, well, I guess I'm crazy. The sound of this mandolin is off the charts, has it all,...
Here is the first of 10 of my econo A's. Old violin look.:grin:
Allen -
I read a little Arabic and I'm quite sure it translates to - Only A Gibson is good enough
Classic. Years ago I had a cafe member that doesn't come around anymore give me details that he said were missing from that report. According to him a small safe was found down the road that was...
Still, no reason to admonish someone in public. We can do better. This is a forum for discussion. Best to treat people with respect. I see no reason to indicate any trouble is being stirred other...
I'm distracted naturally.
