I was a heel button hater until I bought an A5 with a button installed. It’s my prefered way to hang a strap on a non F now. Works for guitar and mandolin

I've never been there but this looks like a fun little shop....(https://vimeo.com/163365339 If the video fails)

Picked up a new instrument today! Is a 2014 Weber Gallatin A Style that I bought at the Denver Folklore Center. Sounds so good and looks terrific! The picture is from the store's website.

We made the three hour drive to the Bee 3 Vintage show today. It was good day, came home with a Red Diamond A! Its number 75, its been around a time or two. the strings are darn near rusted and the...

I'm sort of with Ted on this one. . . Even when I was dragged to Keillor's show in Richmond, I found his speach tedious to listen to. I know I'm a bit alone on this matter.

f-d

Sounds like a fun time in the shop!

I'm really curious what you loved about the Northfield? How was it's volume compared to the MT2? How was the tone of the G and D strings?

I went down to...

I love playing my mandolin outside. For me not having to plug into the mains is one of the great joys of an acoustic instrument and the mandolin being so small can go wherever I go. I decided to...

First off, I have no opinion positive or negative of the Mando Shop, no experience dealing with them. I think maybe I've had 1-2...

While were at IBMA, this past September, I delivered a new Pacifica mandolin to a tremendous young player, Nate Burie.

It's been 10 years since the last redesign of Mandozine, with the help of Wendy Anthony and Larry tanner. I decided it's time for another redesign. Some things have moved around, but I kept the...

When Bill started to develop the Collings mandolin, he did consult with Nugget, Gilchrist and Kimble. As most of you know, he spent 6 years working in my shop beside me 1980-86, but I don't how much...

I was recently in Paris, wearing my fashionable et tres chic new black Mandolin Café ballcap. My wife and I dropped in to Shakespeare's Bookstore near the Cluny Museum - they have a lot of...

The ONLY people who say that about Asheville are those that have never been to Paris!!!!

If you're an uptight, crusty, crusty wanna be, then Asheville is definitely not for you. If you want a...

Well, the inevitable happened to me. I've been playing my Morgan Monroe MDM-2 for about a year, and honestly, had no issues with it whatever. Played easily, looked cool, and especially since the...

Hi Reelistic, et. al.
I have Finale 2012 Print Music, I don't have the professional version, and I am unable to export to a PDF file. However, the dopdf program did work to convert my finale files...

I just returned from a week's stay near Asheville and spent a good bit of time on a mando quest. I amazes me that Asheville is ground zero for so many great acoustic musicians and bands but does not...

I don't understand the concept of not playing your favorite mandolin just to save it from wear. It needs to be played as much as possible to develop its best tone (and for you to develop your best...

“I could also add that to my ear, David Grisman, standing beside Jimmy Martin, couldn't play anything that sounded like bluegrass”

Listen to the young Mr Grisman as a member of Red Allen's...

Hi All. I've been lurking here, but am not one to post much (1st one!). In any event, I just picked up my first mandolin tonight. It is an Eastman 515. Got a good deal on it so I'm pretty pumped...

What I get from all of this is the OP wants to have an authentic sound. But by his avatar and several threads I would surmise he's more into the modern stuff.

Before I started actually playing an...
