Happy Thanksgiving to all...and Roll Tide!
I was told the El Rey has a real Mandolin sound. What is best, an acoustic amp or an electric guitar amp?
She's amazing. Her fingers do look like their are dancing.
How much would it cost to buy from the Mandolin Store and have it shipped? I know they ship overseas.
I am really interested in one of these. I am saving my pennies and one day this year I will break open my piggy bank and get one. Too cool. :cool:
I wonder how it will sound with some distortion?...
I wouldn’t pay that much.
Perhaps if I were a rich professional musician, like Bush or Skaggs, I would. Otherwise, no.
Eastman makes a 305 A style octave mandolin with F holes.

I thought it would be interesting, at least to me, to have a thread with quotes from musicians about mandolins and music in general.
The sound of the mandolin is a very curious sound because...
Lakeland used to be a great place to live. I’ve not been there in nearly twenty years.
I’ve never heard of Stiver, being a noob. Any website?

I’m sorry to read about your finger. I had an accident last year and I still can’t use my left pinky well or without pain. I hope you heal fast and play well.
Beautiful F Style. How does it play?
