That's very helpful - thanks!
Not the famous fiddle tune "Jenny Lind"; the Ron Spears tune "Jenny Lynn".
There's either not much out there, or I'm getting old and bad at Google, but I can't find much. This is the tune I'm...
For what it's worth, which might be nothing, I spoke with the owner of one of the stores you listed who indicated to me that the ability to order new mandolins from Gibson has recently been...
I feel inept, but all I can find is information on their guitars. I promise I know how to use the internet...am I blind?
Hi folks! I thought I might pick up a Fender Mandocaster for a little variety, and I'm asking for any input you might have for models or years to look for (or look out for!). Does anyone have any...
Hi there! Does anyone know what software is being used to create sheet music like this (one example from MandoLessons)?

Thanks!
Favorite instrument insurance providers?
Wondering how many of you have insurance on your instruments. I've always got a tinge of anxiety when traveling with my higher-dollar instruments or sitting around a campfire at jams where people...
Hey folks! Any bluegrass players in the Amarillo area?
Hey guys! Look for some professional, or at least educated, opinions of this crack on the top of a 2018 Gibson. It just arrived from a seller and I have 48 hours to figure out how big of a deal this...
Thanks, Pete!
Any BIAB pros wanna give me some tips to get started? I'm trying to figure out a couple of things like odd timings (i.e. Clinch Mountain Backstep), waltzes, etc. Let me know if you're familiar with...
He looks just like Chris Thile.
What is Thile's "pick hold"?
Ok, thanks everyone. I appreciate the input.
I own a 2015 Gibson F5-L Fern and I'm thinking about swapping the tuning machines that came on the mandolin with some Waverlys. A couple questions for the masses:
Who makes the tuners that come...
Does anyone know if Ronnie Bowman is the writer of this song? I stumbled across it while researching the Tex Ritter song "Rye Whiskey". Can someone tell me the chords to the Bowman song?
Lots of great information here, folks. Thanks for the help.
Hi everyone! I'd like to set up a simple sound system for some guitar/mandolin shows. We may add a bass and fiddle occasionally. We'll be playing mostly small bars/coffee shops/etc. We want to "do...
I've had work done on mandolins at both The Pickin' Parlor and at the Folklore Center. Both have very skilled and capable luthiers.
If I understand correctly, these do essentially the same thing except if I get the Red Eye, I also have to get a boost pedal and chromatic tuning pedal, right? And the LR Baggs already has those...
The answer is yes. They're happy to set you up with a variety of high-end instruments to play, but require an appointment as it's not their customary way of doing business. So, there you go! :)
I wonder if they're set up to let people inspect the instruments at their warehouse, at least for instruments valued at this level. I know they've opened the boxes - they sent me pictures of all of...
I was looking at that very instrument yesterday (online) and had a serious conversation with myself about it! She's a real beauty! I love the headstock (rosewood?).
My personal preference leans...
I'm not sure if I'm lighting a can of gas on fire here, but I'm curious what the general consensus is regarding Musician's Friend? They've got 4 new Gibson Ferns in stock and offered a pretty good...
