Well, I like my carved top and back GBOM because it balances better that a teardrop shape, and it actually sounds like a large mandolin (and not a guitar). But I doubt that my perspective has...
For those who don't like the tuners on their new Eastmans, try lubricating them before spending more money and time on swapping them out. I used a plastic toothpick dipped in some Tri-flow sparingly...
Yeah, pretty much. This has been an interesting topic. What really strikes me is how people have such strong opinions regarding Eastman mandolins. Why do you think that is?
I feel that for a...
Excuse me? "Poorly developed hearing"..... sounds like maybe you should listen to yourself talk more. I'm not sure who you are directing those comments to, but I can assure you that I personally have...

My take on this is that picks are a very personal thing. One isn't superior to another just because of the cost difference, and one should try to find the pick (or picks) that suit you best. There's...
I don't know very much about the Stanley Brothers. But sometimes when a song is handed down from so far back, it just seems fine to ignore gender. I have sang a lot of old country blues tunes with...
Coming on a little late, Misty, but that is super exciting!! I can't wait to see it.

PS. Blondes do have more fun, and I qualify.;)
Misty,
If you private message me here with your email, I will forward you a nice starting list of some very popular BG tunes with the chord changes. I am working on learning "60 at 60"....that is...
Being a guitar player first, I must say, aren't ALL mandolins travel instruments?!
