Finish cracks on lacquer instruments are virtually impossible to prevent in the long run. It's usually a relatively quick change in temperature that is the culprit, not so much humidity. There's...
Hi everyone,
It looks like I joined back in 2016 but never posted.
I recently discovered the baroque mandolino and it’s fascinating music, so I have been lurking around here recently. I don’t...

Welcome to the cafe. If you have an exact fit replacement it should be easy. It is called a tailpiece however and not a tailgate. A tailgate is for a pickup truck. good luck
I use the little D'Addario microtuners, keep them flipped around backwards, and leave them on while I play. The little bit covering a part of the logo doesn't bother me all that much. But I can't...
I've just noticed that some kind soul ("E.J. Tromp" -- are they a Cafe member?) has uploaded Musescore transcriptions of the four Beethoven pieces for mandolin and harpsichord on Musescore. Even...
Here is a pic of the faux tortoise parts and the Strad replica bridge I am making. The tailpiece appears to be a Waverly cloud with the plastic attached by 2 rivets. Both plastic pieces are in good...
Good luck finding instructional videos...

This is the simplest solution I’ve found for keeping straps on endpin jacks.
Hi,
I presume that it’s not just the nut that’s wider, but also the neck. Then smaller production runs, hence higher costs. The increase in cost being down to overhead costs, rather than material....
Here's my latest instrumental mandolin holiday offering: O Holy Night. I thought it would be a fun challenge to try and come up with a solo version of this song that captures the beautiful melody and...
thanks, just ordered one of those bridges, looks highly do'able & correct, or as close to correct it can be, for this Wanamaker ....yes, if I decide to not utilize them, you can have the pieces...

Well ... I get that, but a cutaway does serve a purpose, making fretting higher notes easier, and it was designed for that. The scroll's most common use is as a strap-hanger, which it was not...
Here is a step-by-step process for adding veins between the ribs of a bowl back mandolin.
Strips of a light-colored wood such as maple are thinned and bent the same as the ribs that form the bowl....
Sometimes, a back joint will loosen up on one of these old Gibsons. If the open seam is not attended to immediately, it can be tough to get the parts back in perfect alignment when the joint is...
I recorded a version of this tune several months ago with overdubbed guitar and bass. I've received some requests since then for a solo version of the tune featuring just mandola. Long story short, I...
Sorry y'all, had a hell of a time uploading pics from my phone. Hopefully this works :grin:

I think this is still largely an open research problem.
I do remember coming across a product that was developed by a person who did their PhD on the topic. It was actually pretty good, but I...
Here's some playing around with slide mandolin. This is some of what is being explored in this week's mandolin blues lick of the day series.

I highly recommend that you don't just jump into this without adequate information. When I first was interested in Emberghers there was the book "The Embergher Mandolin" by Ralf Leenen and Barry...
Since the demise of the mandolintab.net ABC converter at the end of 2022, I've developed a very feature-rich open-source ABC editor and PDF tunebook builder.

I only recently came across this video. I have no recollection of doing it! Glad you took time to look at it! Cheers, Kevin Macleod 👍
