    Re: BRW Tuners and Tailpiece

    Hi Charley! Yes, I should have started it here, in equipment. Thank you. I would certainly appreciate the moderators' time and trouble to do so, if they deem it necessary. These aren't the...

    Re: Getting Back To It

    Danidog, That is a great story to read! I am glad you found your path back to music and especially the mandolin. I too am 68, and fight the effects of aging, but it is a great way to stay active and...

    Re: Kentucky KM855 on sale on Amazon

    I agree with you Keith. The Mandolin Store has sold me five mandolins over the years, and they provide great service and an excellent set up. It should be said that a discount price as low as this...

    Re: Kentucky KM855 on sale on Amazon

    Pat, No, my friend. I was just noticing a lot of discussion about affordable mandolins and thought that someone might be looking for one of these. The highest rung of Kentucky F5 before the 1000...

    Re: Help me spend $10k

    I don’t think you can go wrong with that great Hogan F5 Pheffernan linked, or the Ellis A5 that Charles E pointed out. I think what JeffD talked about made a lot of sense. I would extrapolate, get...

    Roger, I love those KM 1000 blacktop versions! You bought it at a great time! I don’t know if they are still in production with the black tops?

    Pat, Still waiting for yours to hit the market! Just kidding. I know she’s a keeper, but I will admit to some degree of envy.

    Willie Nelson’s Bluegrass Album

    Has anyone else heard the album by Willie Nelson called, “Bluegrass: Willie Nelson”? He records some of his hits played to a bluegrass or string band tempo. Dan Tyminski plays mandolin. I am a fan...
  20. Re: Is Gibson Getting Ready to Roll Out Some New Models?

    Glassweb, I think it a great thing to provide a 100-year version of the 1923 Loar F5. Who better than the original makers, Gibson? I saw that video of Sam Bush playing it at IBMA and was impressed.
  21. Re: Is Gibson Getting Ready to Roll Out Some New Models?

    Glassweb, I appreciate your response and informed opinion. I am gaining more knowledge from those who have gathered information about early Loar specs. Thank you!
  22. Re: Is Gibson Getting Ready to Roll Out Some New Models?

    Playing one would be a treat! Also, buying one in a year or two used, would be the way to go.

    Re: NMD Kentucky KM 950 Master Model

    Stoler, I have to say, the Master Models, 900's-1000's, are very similar in sound to the Gibson mandolins. My F5G is a wonderful instrument. I wanted an A5 bluegrass mandolin with a radiused...
