    Re: your mandolin ownership history

    I want to enter the running for "quickest to insanity". I have to be close to most mandolins in the shortest period of time, though nowhere near the overall title. My first mandolin was a Fender...

    Re: Neck Relief

    I just purchased a Weber Absaroka that has setup #2. Very disappointing, as it was advertised with a recent setup by a luthier I had heard of, so I expected better. The mandolin buzzes on the first...

    Re: What B.C. Picks have you tried?

    I first bought a CT55 and TD35, both with right hand bevel. Do not care for the CT55 much, but the TD35 was pretty good. Still used my Wegen Bluegrass at 1mm and 1.4mm a bit more often. Then I...

    Re: sound port on the side

    Here is the sound port on my Black A4:

    The mandolin is loud for both player and listener. Plus, it is a great view of the Virzi!

    I have seen round sound ports. Can't remember where,...

  8. Re: How does the Gibson F-9 compare to the Gibson F-5G?

    I have an F-9, but have not been able to compare it directly to an F5G. One of the differences that has not been mentioned is that the current F-9 uses rosewood for the bridge and fretboard instead...

    Re: Newb here: Appreciate Your Opinions

    It is not cheaper to buy a cheap instrument if you already know you are serious about the mandolin and can afford better. The cheap instrument will be money wasted, unless you plan to keep it as a...

    Re: Mandolin on sound quality merits only

    Now, he did say he could save for a $1K+ mandolin. Not saying I don't suggest the occasional ham sandwhich, it is hard to resist! In this case however, most suggestions have been pretty reasonable,...

    Re: Number of employees at Gibson mandolin division

    I have a new F9 and a flashlight, so I decided to see if Adrian is right. IMO, he is. It is pretty clearly machine routed, has about a 1/4" step near the neck, and slightly less but still very...

    Not sure what your Givens is worth, but the Parlor in Knoxville wants $4K for a 1979 Givens A with lots of play wear. No, that is not $22K, not even $8K, but not exactly cheap either. You do pay...
