This is so much like how I feel. I love the sound. I could be felling bad and I'll pull out my mandolin and start to play. After a little while I'm feeling better. I have two mandolins, a The Loar...

Hey Nick, It's really good to see that you're still here. I had to sell the Fern way back when we messaged last. I haven't played since due to tremors. I had Essential tremors and nerve problems in...
Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement . Adds to my joy ~o)
I'm sure guys with flexibility and talent would have no problem. I don't have much of either. I didn't have any trouble going from 1 1/8 to a Gibson F5L. The narrow nut made it easier for my old...
I pulled the trigger on the MD614 . I think the pickup will come in handy at church. I like the binding on the back as well. I purchased it from Brian at the Mandolin Store. Brian was patient and...
I hope to own an oval some day. Don't know I'm old to be learning.
Beautiful! Enjoy.

His " pro"...
Hi Mike Thanks for the welcome. Good answer . I moved back to New Jersey over 4 years ago. I lost contact with Brent as well as my other friends from Bills Picking Parlor. I had some problem with...

There are a few points I would like to bring up.
I knew exactly what I wanted and I new exactly what I was willing to pay for it.

Here it is scooped and set up. With MD11s . What a bear, those tiny frets with DEEP slots. You can see in the second shot how much I had to remove to get past the slots :disbelief:
Thanks to all...
Not as good as it would in your hands I bet.
It seems to have light strings and the action is a little high.
I will be personalizing the set up. The saddle is all the way down and the action...
Thanks Mike
It is, but. I am going to have to scoop the extension. The clicking in driving me nuts. I have scooped an extension before but the mandolin was worth $600 not $6k.
I will probably...
