You should post a video playing rawhide at about 170. :grin:
Now, if I could only find a F hole with that ancient wood tone I'd stop looking.
There's a Loar in the classifieds. NFI :grin:
First off I have to say "wow" fast shipping. I ordered them right off this morning and I have to say that is fast shipping. I think they are just like the brown blue. I ordered three but ate one....

HAHAHAHHAH - Ok then. :)
I am literally LMAO over this thread. It is so true. I also noticed that when certain brands or models of Mandolin get discussed on the forum they start to show up in the classifieds. I was labeled a...
Mapes custom set. 11.5 16 26 and 40 or 41. Occasionally J75's. Sometimes Black Diamond 11.5-41's or 11-40's.... Come to think of it, usually anything that is under 6 or 7 bucks at the time of...
You may experience some binding in the nut. Also the action at the nut could be a little higher if they don't fit in the slots.
I agree. I said it before and I'll say it again. Close to 300k that he did not need to spend.
IMOP of course.
Sorry, couldn't resist. :grin:

I really don't have an issue with them being pissed off. No one is taking Gils, Nuggets, or Kimble's apart and taking measurements. No one had a flower pot before them. No one is making a mandolin...
I would like to have that reproduction of Bill's mandolin that was just recently made. Or the 20's fern that was for sale at TME a while ago, or Charlie D. signed MM or a Loar.
Imagine having 127 days to play without anyone complaining about you doing anything else:grin:
Knowing all the notes on the fretboard without hesitation to me is the key to playing anything in any key. I feel it is more important than scales. You can play bad notes on a break as long as you...
I mentioned my story in another post a bit back but my experience was not as successful. In 2016 I purchased a new one from a store on line and after playing it for a day and a half I sent it back....

RIP Paul.
I got this really great instrument from Lloyd back in July of '16 and it really has really become a great mandolin. I am trying to get some good sound clips to post, but I thought I would get some...
I'll just pick on a couple of instruments, banjo and mandolin. Just because you play them does not mean it's bluegrass. Trampled by turtles, Chris Thile, and you know the rest are just not bluegrass....
Why can't they make em like that anymore? Instead of the stupid reddish finish?
Bluegrass Boys = better. All boys. Thile's banjo player I bet is a monster though. played that song like nothing.
Thile is genius no doubt. just different. and that is ok. Just not pure. no big...
I am not being a smart aleck but what is so difficult in playing in b flat or b vs let's say c? Or a?
I participated in the test. I did like the strings and if I recall I had them on for about 3 weeks. The only issue I had was I tend to like a little heavier string. Well I have kept up with this...
I've had mine on since Sunday. These are interesting strings. They feel great, have a great "pop" to them. Seem "tight" or have high tension but don't feel like it. However for me the tone is a...
I pretty much use only DR MD 12 strings. I just tried the Curt Mangan bluegrass set 11.5 -41 on one of my instruments and I can say that I love them. It seems as though they take less tension to get...
