  1. Re: Were non-Gibson F style mandolins around prior to the 1970s?

    It depends on what you consider F-style.

    John D'Angelico built at least one (very ugly) F-style mandolin in the 1940's. There was also the Epiphone Windsor model.

    Re: seeking ID on an unknown mandolin

    That thing looks sketchy as hell. I definitely wouldn't buy it without playing it first.

    You have a BRW and an Altman. Why are you even looking at that thing? It's like you're Hugh Grant cruising...

    Monteleone Radio Flyer A-Style

    NFI, but there's an unbelievably sexy Monteleone Radio Flyer A-Style for sale on Reverb.

    Who needs a scroll when a mandolin looks like that.

    Re: Bach Invention #5 - to use a capo?

    If the piece was original written for violin I would say lose the capo on principle.

    But it's a keyboard piece. Capo away without guilt.

    Re: One-Piece or Brekke bridge?

    Step 1: Decent professional set-up.
    Step 2: Tone-Gard.
    Step 3. Experiment with string gauges and picks.

    These things are going to make FAR more of a difference than changing the bridge.
