    Re: Mandolin 'dogs'?

    Ha ha! Yes. I bought a name mandolin from one of the great dealers present here and it just didn’t have any undertones or character. Very strange. I bought it via their website. It had been in their...

    Re: Norman and Nancy vid

    My first mandolin was a ... not a Gretch but some other Chinese-made American-branded plywood contraption I bought for $200 after drinking two martinis with my friend Tom. I have to say I thought it...
