OK, so: photos. And apologies right up front, because they're awful in that they don't come near doing this instrument justice.
This a a seriously sweet little axe. I wondered what a cedar top...

New, as in straight out of the extremely well-packed shipping box and just tuned up.
This is a beauty.
More info and (I hope!) pics to follow shortly.
I have an Eastman DGM3 (i.e. Lyon & Healey knockoff) mandola. It gets played less than my mandolins, but enough to keep it around even after I get an octave. To my ears, the mandola meshes better...
Thank you, NDB.
The US Coast Guard have descended in force and are now conducting constant SAR missions. As a fuller picture emerges it's unlikely to get any prettier. This was apocalyptic. Those...
I'm a subscriber as well. The course is well structured, with each new concept clearly explained and demonstrated. Studying classical mandolin opens up a whole other world of possibilities on the...
Ukulele, banjo, and wuffo (short for "wuffo you play that funny-lookin' little guitar?").
I'm mostly chiming in to second everything slinds said.
Go if you can. The Marshall Mandolin Summit is worth it and then some.
A more personal take: most of what I've done on mandolin so far...
I love cats. The bond with one is special. You have my condolences. RIP Uther.
So how long before Gibson goes after Epiphone? ;)
How many bassists does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. The keyboard player can do it with his left hand.
And a sort of riff on one that's probably already been posted:
How do you get a...
I'm not sure what kind of burst it's called; maybe tobacco? Personally I think it looks like milk chocolate and honey. It's a lovely finish. :) I'll be more than happy to post photos as soon as I can...
I just got a BR40-TCE and love it. In fact I'll probably make a complete post about it soon.
Blowing pretty hard down here for the past few days, but the temperature is nice and rain is intermittent so a handful of us had an impromptu jam on the deck at the neighborhood Bait 'n' Brew.
A friend of mine had a pleasant experience purchasing a new TKD A-style oval hole from The Mando Shop in their physical location. FWIW I've played that particular instrument and found it well made...
Oh, [EXPLETIVE]. Now I'm tempted.
Thanks.
I guess. ;)
I don't, but only because currently I don't own a car. I'll cheerfully pay more for a mandolin than for a car, and intend to do just that in the next few months. (Minor detail: I refuse to buy a car...
Only one sticker so far, but I thought it really belonged on a mandolin case.

Wolfe Guitars in Jupiter are, as their name implies, guitar-centric, but I've seen them stock Breedlove and (IIRC) Weber mandolins including some pretty nice ones. If you're looking to have work done...
Interesting thread. My left-hand approach depends to a some extent on what I'm doing, but in general:
1. Just shy of 9"; call it 8 7/8". Apparently a bit on the short side, but then again so am I...
I suspect more people actually listen to bluegrass.
Retro-progressive Caribbean Gothic surf punk alt-country doomgrass. Or something like that, if I feel like trying to make their eyes cross.
Otherwise it's more like "whatever there's a chance of...
I didn't know about this podcast at all. Subscribed just now. Thank you!
My first thought was that it was Salvador Dali's attempt at a cigar box mando.
It may be a little pathological, but recently I retuned a 6-string dreadnaught to C-G-D-A-c-e just to get a feel for whether I could adapt to mandocello fingering. The high c and e were arguably...
After playing in a bar band Stateside for a few months during the early 1980s, I grew to hate Freebird, as in refusing to play it again for literally 30 years. Then one afternoon on the beach last...
