I just got a new Stanley mandolin, and thus far am loving it to death. My ONE complaint, actually my second complaint, in that I removed the pickguard, but was use serviceable :), is the...

Thank's object session. The Steve's Live music is a place I'd recommend to anyone near by. Good food, good drink, multiple rooms to jam. They had a band playing as well, great people to jam with....

And I'd love to jam if schedules permit. I am at the Westin North, I have my new mando and would love to play if schedules works out hit me up if you want to jam.

Thank you for the replies. For the intonation, it's just out. I tried to represent the intonation I hear, it's especially noticeable on the lower end of the D and A strings. the D gets funky near...

I have a Pricetone, #42 and it's served me well for years now. I've always loved the tone of it, however I've always been bothered by how after a short while (after getting frets redone) that the...

Looks like a solid top but I am not an expert. It's an 1940's store brand (G B Walters) (Most likely harmony made)

Sounds pretty good.

Any tips for telling a spruce top from a birch top in an older archtop?

Thanks

Maybe... there is a weird peice that I am am not sure what that is for... it screws into the inside of the pot right under the neck...

So as someone shoppin for a refret... Is there any advantage to one type of fret over another (I saw someone mention stainless) Does a harder fret wear strings faster? If I go through strings like...

I like Manjo better... much more macho...

Anyone recognize this fiddler?

My brother is currently living in Jordan and he came across a nice shop that has Ouds. I have a passing interest in these, but the rub lies in that he is not a musician. The shop owner claims to that...

"Hey, Remember the site is great, but it is all tuned to Bb. So you have to transpose it.Explanation. "


Actually... for the sake of playing it by yourself for learning, just play it...if you are...

I know this topic is a bit old, however, Evan, would it be possible to get that Tanyards recording? I want to learn it up some and I like hearing different takes on the same tune. (The link in the...

Great instruments and great people. That's what makes a good buying experience.

I would keep the mandolin and guitar I have, invest it, live off the interest, and maybe actually get good at playing them! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Part of that wood for mando neck is it is 5 years old and has been played heavily by me (acid hands) the different coloration is solely from playing (no steel wool to remove the finish) When I...

Pricing is great. At the last conversation I had with Mr. Price, Mandolins were still 2500 and guitars were 2000. It's not a custom shop per se, you don't tell him what you want (although I guess I...
