Hi Kendor,
I teach mandolin family instruments including the octave mandolin and have an online studio. I’d be happy to chat about lessons if you’re still on the hunt for a teacher. I’ll send you...

Hi Kendor,

Hi mandolin community,
I wanted to start this separate forum to post videos of folks who own and love their Old Wave instruments. I was so sad to learn of Bill Bussmann's passing. Our paths...
I am so saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. I’ve spent several years with a gorgeous octave mandolin that he sent my way and I’m so grateful for the time and talent he shared with our music...
Thanks for posting this! I was just about to do it and you beat me to it, Bill :)
Hi friends and neighbors!
Our duo The Boston Imposters is playing our new album release show tonight at The Coffee House in Milwaukee at 7:30pm central, but there will also be a livestream. Here...
In fact, I think it is this mandolinhttp://https://www.facebook.com/fretboardjournal/posts/wow-quite-the-back-on-this-ellis-mandolin-owned-by-ricky-skaggs-and-for-sale-at-/168375656652266/
It's an earlier Ellis F Style. The inlay style and script changed when Tom Ellis began making mandolins again a few years ago.
Thank you all for the kind comments. I really love playing it and feels more and more like home every day. A friend of mine is a former student of Mr. Unger's and gave me his contact info. I hope...
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. If it belonged to your artist friend from Gloucester, MA that is a coincidence because I'm originally from Gloucester in the UK.

Here's a video from the two-point flower pot mandolin mentioned above!!
Hi everyone,
Been meaning to post about a new (mandolin) baby for over a week now, but with teaching, gigging, and an 8 month (human) baby, time keeps getting away from me.
Let me start with a...
Songs like this can be really tricky on the mandolin because they often feel caught between major and minor modes. I made a quick version for you that is in G minor. It mainly uses frets 1, 3, and...
Hi everyone!
Yesterday was the anniversary of Peter Ostroushko's passing and I just wanted to post today in memory of him and his music. If you are looking for beautiful music to inspire you...
Thanks Zach! It was a lot of fun. Here is a link to the archived show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq_Kx3xwAHQ&t=554s&ab_channel=TheCoffeeHouse-Live
Actually, no octave tonight as I couldn’t fit it in the car! But the mandolin is a Nugget, so hopefully that gives me some bonus points!!
Hi folks,
My wife and I (aka The Boston Imposters) are doing a free livestream concert tonight at 7:30pm central. We'll be playing lots of our own songs and a couple of borrowed favorites...
I think it's great that the forums are a space for folks to share their opinions, but I think it's kind to assume that if someone built/commissioned/plays a fretless mandolin, they might see this...
It's in 5/4 until the transition back to the more conventional version. I enjoyed the way they played around with the emphasis of the beat in 5...reminds me a bit of On the Road by John Hartford.
Hi folks. Made a quick video of this tune at a slower tempo so it will be easier to learn by ear. I don't tend to make tabs of transcriptions, but I hope this helps....
I think Mike must use Waverly tuners from time to time as my A style came with them and they are original as far as I can tell. I'd love to know what the serial number is for this Nugget. It was...
It's really nice and refreshing to read a discussion of music on the internet that is respectful of different folks personal tastes and opinions! I've yet to listen to the full album yet, but having...
Hearing Peter Ostroushko on Prairie Home is one of my first memories as a beginning mandolin player. My wife's family know the Ostroushkos as she grew up in the Twin Cities. Yesterday she recalled...
A few folks have mentioned the Gilchrist Model 1 as an option. I have one from the first batch in 2009 and find that it is the most versatile mandolins I've ever played. I know that there is...
Bryan plays mandolin on this fantastic track from Tim O'Brien's Chicken and Egg. Really musical and tasteful playing.
