  7. Re: Flatiron Appreciation Thread / 1994 Flatiron A5 Artist Pics

    I am fortunate enough to have 3 Flatirons; a '92 F5, a Performer A, and a 96 M5-Junior mandola. I would never trade any of them as they're each more mandolin than I could otherwise afford. Let's...

    Re: How do you clean strings after playing?

    They're harder and harder to find, but I've always used cloth baby diapers; no lint, soft, and reusable.
