it was given to him 15 years ago, and he never learned how to play. He just wanted it gone. I told him the price was "pretty low" and he was fine with that. I'm also fine with it.

I ended up buying it for $375. Deal of the week for this guy!

Many thanks guys! I'm gonna go for it tonight.

I have an opportunity to pick up a flatiron performer A on a trade locally.

First digit of the 8 digit serial is a 9, so it could be 99, or 09 (I think)

Is this bad boy made in US or Overseas?...

After over a decade of watching, I just scored a Weber Sweet Pea travel mando in perfect "Has this ever been out of the case?" condition. Local guy had it for $150. Just had a friend grab it for me,...

Daniel Brauchli Cittern. 21.3" scale, Englemann spruce top, Tassie Oak back, neck, and sides. Tuned GDGDG.

I intend to do both. I have a low baritone voice, which really doesn't mesh well with mandolin. Also, I am drawn to the GDGDG tuning for its potential in cross picking trad tunes. I've wanted this...

That is my plan, I have a bunch of sheet music meant for bouzouki and am choosing new (to me) songs to completely dissociate the learning process from my mandolin experience.

Thanks to you both!...

Hello all. My custom cittern is just being finished by Daniel Brauchli down in Tasmania. I went with a 22 (ish) inch scale tuned GDGDG. With his very responsive carbon-bracing technique, he talked...

I have no idea how this is relevant. I said that Rubners are comparable in smoothness and gear tightness to Grovers, which most people are familiar with and is a very common stock option on nice...

I just replaced my Breedlove Quartz OF's tuners with a set of Rubner Classics. It came with Saga Golden Gates. The Rubners work with the Saga inserts, and 4 of the 5 screw holes line up. The 3 middle...

I don't think this is a good move. Breedlove has been, for many years, the least expensive "good American-made carved top mandolin".

After this, what will they be? Another good for the money...

I am having a custom cittern made for me by Daniel Brauchli in Tasmania. We are currently discussing tunings and scale length. I originally wanted to start with DADAD tunings, and a 22-24" scale. ...

I just picked up an IV mando kit, and i'm about to attempt my first build. I have access to just about any woodworking tool i need, but I am not going to push the envelope my first time around. So,...

Is that woven fabric on the the "carbon fiber" background on the "cabelas" headstock? Doesn't look like carbon to me, more like a picture of a shirt or something.

I would love this! Can't say I've ever been to a good mandolin concert before.

He is an interesting musician, he plays bass for a rock band as well. It will be neat to see what he turns out in the future.

His name's Ben Bosco. I really enjoyed his music (which I just discovered), and just figured I'd spread...

I am beginning to consider a cittern as my next instrument. I am in no rush to acquire one, but am wanting to gather some info, so when a used one comes along I'll know what I'm getting into and...

I just paid for it, haven't seen it yet. There are numerous light scratches on the back, but no gouges, and it's been kept in a very humid area (Florida) so cracking shouldn't be an issue. He said...

all the lines etc on the peghead are just dust the owner never cleaned off before listing.

Ok, I was surfing on ebay, and I've been eyeballing the old washburn bowl backs for quite some time. I saw a washburn "crematone" mando in good shape, no cracks breaks etc, for 100 bucks obo. I...

albeit somewhat lacking in quality control. Eyeballing the neck angles was a little too efficient for me.

Anyone else having trouble with the subtitles? Must be in Canadian or something....

they sure work fast, very practiced and precise movement!

I did buy a humidifier, it's in the mail.
