Mine are covered by Clarion. I had to submit a spreadsheet (which they provide) listing instrument, age, serial number, and replacement value. Anything over $5,000 they want an official written...

Great stuff, Colin - as always!

I have been watching for Niles' book The Mandola Sampler. Elderly finally alerted me they got them back in stock - but I couldn't make myself pay $17 shipping for a small $8 book! I thought there was...

I don't have the carbon fiber case, but I got one of the fiberglass F-style cases when they first came out last year. The color of my lining is exactly like the photo you posted.

Another lovely arrangement, Colin!



I know the feeling. I have never had Mandola Acquisition Syndrome, but after six or eight months of Colin's arrangements, I now own a Northfield Mandola. We...

My Northfield Mandola came with their strings, but they'd been played a bit, so I replaced them pretty early on. Seems to me I saw somewhere their strings come from Battle Creek, and if that's the...

I've heard of Pursell, but never been in to talk to them. I know Clawson well - lived on Elmwood for a period of time many moons ago. Good luck on your journey!

Brian - Your profile says you're in suburban Detroit - where, specifically? I am in Rochester Hills. As others have said, you're not likely to get much satisfaction from anybody at Guitar Center as...

I decided I "needed" to go down the Mandola Road, so have been watching for one of these for awhile. This is Northfield Quickstep #4, purchased from Gryphon, and built 100% at the Marshall, Michigan...

There is a link in the video to download the arrangement. They're $6 or $8, but well worth it. I have been making semi-regular contributions to Colin's fund! Which I just did again, as a matter of...

In my case (no pun intended) the foam on the fingerboard is right above the neck support, so while the neck gets squeezed a little, it doesn't get bent. The foam above the strings is pretty well...

I now have the "new and improved" version, and had the same concerns re: the padding above the fingerboard and tailpiece. That only lasted a short while, the padding settled in, and now the case...

Think three-note chords. Chop chords are overrated. Only my opinion, obviously.

That looks pretty meaty and therefor heavy to me. I would lean towards Cumberland Acoustic or maybe a Brekke bridge? If it's a Weber, possibly it's got a Brekke bridge now. Weight matters. On my own...

Fantastic, thanks for sharing that!

OK, I'll play. This the back of my avatar.

I tuck the strap alongside the neck so it's not in the way, but it closes just fine. My only beef is that the accessory compartment is tiny - not even room for a regular Altoids tin in there. First...

I have a 1919 F4, and it fits great in the new Crossrock fiberglass case. Their initial case fit both F and A models, with use of included padding. This summer they released a new version designed...

Just beautiful. Congratulations, and Merry Christmas!

You might look at Vidami. They make a bluetooth version and a USB version. I have no personal experience, but a good friend swears by the BT version for use with her iPad. I believe there is a full...

I've got a PDF I converted from TablEdit. No idea if I'm posting it correctly, but here goes ....

Don - I'm not posting to correct you, but to make you aware - on D'Addario's site they list the EFW74 set as stainless steel flatwounds. I would imagine they're the same basic strings as the Chromes...

Thanks, Roger, and same to you and yours!

It looks a lot like the case my 1919 F4 came in, for whatever that's worth.

I need to pick up this book. We also saw Werner play with Toots, many years ago, at a small club in Cleveland. It was one of those spectacular nights in our lives where all was right with the world....
