    Re: Kentucky head stock inlay

    I have one like that ... From 2013 I think. It is my back-up for when I leave my Collings mando home but could easily be my everyday mando. I like it so much that I had stainless steel frets put on...

    Re: Anything in Central WA state?

    Great jamming with Mandobart and others in Pasco this weekend! There were not that many people at Sacajawea but that did not stop us from having a great time.

    Re: Collings Vs. Northfield Vs. Kelley

    A couple of cardinal rules to consider here:

    1) People generally advocate on behalf of the mandolins they own or want to own when responding to such requests for feedback.

    I played Steve's Kentucky KM 956 that is in the classifieds over the weekend in Spokane at a jam and it is a fine mandolin. I think a person could get a lot out of mileage out of this instrument and...

    I tried some of Pava's instruments at Wintergrass in 2017. They were all excellent.

    Re: Who goes on Mandolin Mount Rushmore?

    Nobody, I would leave the mountain in its natural state and ride my fat bike there with a mandolin slung over my shoulder and have a picnic and play old-time music once I get to the summit.

    Aw Steve... thanks for the kind words. Yes - the varnished Collings instruments are a notch or two above the MTs and MFs ... add to that 13 years of near-daily playing and you can end up with a real...

    My list is simple:

    Re: Givens truss rod on a late 1991?

    I would check with Greg Boyd's shop in Missoula, MT.
