Hey folks!

It's been a long time since I've posted. Over the last year and a half or so I've sort of fallen off of the mandolin wagon and into the tenor guitar world. I bought a 1971 martin tenor...

Just thought I'd drop in and share a couple photos of a recent (4-string) build, and say hello to the Cafe' forum folks. I haven't posted here for quite some time, but haven't forgotten about all the...

I have two of them & I think that they are terrible. I hacked out some of the bracing on them & put them to mandolin tuning which improved them a bit. I got one for me & one for friend but it is too...

Glad to see this obscure Gem of a Gem available , so woody, smoky, and heavy on the Bebop. Some of my favorite string band music ever.

I picked this one up today. The owner had an appointment in St. Louis so we met. It's very clean and structurally sound, but does need a significant amount of work. The bridge has a few cracks, any...

I play in FCGD, and I know a few others on here do. This tuning is only 1/2 step lower, so there's no reason why it wouldn't work with the right combination of guitar & strings.

I got mine today. Pretty good for 189 Euro and I will post a video in the next few days.

I don't post here much, but I have read through many of the threads here in CBOM over the last few years as I've been learning about and stoking my interest in octave mandos. I had one brief fling...

How did I decide to get a tenor guitar? I will tell the story.

Some of the tunes I want to learn feel like they sound better when played
lower. The mandola scale would be about right. My...

I bought the Recording King ROST-7-TS. I will start a new thread.

I bought the Recording King ROST-7-TS tenor guitar from Sun Valley
Guitars after seeing their name as forum sponsor. I am a beginner,
and after shopping around for a mid-century cheap guitar I...

here's some tips:
what you have now is a combination of mandola(bottom four strings)and mandolin(top four). The challenge from the luthier side is that mandolas use a longer fret scale than...

For posterity:

Thanks mreidsma,
The easiest way I've found to thin the width of the fretboard is to use Dremel like cutting discs. I remove the board,draw the lines on it and use the cutting disc to cut through...

Very good news. Zach sent an email this morning that Dennis received his double transplant yesterday and is now in recovery but awake. Zach posted that here. I had received a call from Dennis on...

in my experience on the 5-string electric, I'll usually "comp"(grab chords for accompaniment) in the mandola range of the five, lower four C-G-D-A. i've heard my friend and electric mando hero Paul...
