    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    Sorry to chime in so late, but I just saw this. Your circumstance is exactly what happened to me, and here's how it went. I was "drafted" to play in the church's "Bluegrass Sundays" gospel band. ...

    Re: Does anyone recognize this strap?

    I think we may have the only 2. I vaguely remember encountering a lady that I thought was half-heartedly trying to sell hers, but I never heard anything of that one again.

    Re: Does anyone recognize this strap?

    NDO,
    I now have Jim Nollman’s mandolin, #65. I think you may be familiar with it.
    I’ll try to post more when I can take some worthy pics.

    Mark,
    That sounds familiar. You may have something here. I’ll follow up on the lead.
    Thanks!
    Jim

    I bought this strap some years back to go on my BRW 2-point. I now have another newly acquired...

    Re: Love for Ovals

    I was going to call you on the fact that Ben Wilcox didn't make oval hole mandolins, but now I remember what you have. I've only seen pictures of 2 of them, and I think I have tried to buy both! ...

  8. Re: "banjo-mandolin" and "nice sounding": an oxymoron?

    Perhaps I can add a little perspective:

    I do have Weymann (not sure the model) much like Jim Garber's one that is pictured. I can tell that the pot on mine is bigger (9"?) I also had a resonator...

    Re: Mandolin Orange is now Watchhouse

    I just had a notion to start in on the Mandolin Orange craze by buying a CD or two. Any recommendations with which one(s) to begin the journey?

    Re: Do You Have Too Many Instruments?

    Interesting article.

    I think I just may have the world's largest collection of banjo mandolins:

    I currently have 3!

    Re: Old vs New Oval

    Eric,
    That's a very interesting thought. My snakehead has a nice rounded neck with a truss-rod, so it fits that bill. I can't logically explain why I'm looking for a new build at this point, other...

    Re: Old vs New Oval

    Jim,
    Thanks for the info. We go way back with some mutual shared interest of Old Time music and these classic mandolins.

    What started this all was the Mike Black A4 in the classifieds a couple...

    Re: Old vs New Oval

    I was revisiting this thread, and in a mad rush of blood, am considering a traditional oval A from a modern maker as a foil to my '24 (ish?) snakehead, a '17 A4 with some top issues, and a '17...

    Yes, I'm seeing a lot of beauty in the simplicity and attention to detail in that mandolin.

    Here's to a return to it's playing form!

    Spencer,

    In addition to your initiative to build an instrument, I'm also in admiration of your discipline to start off simply. That way, even if something went really awry, you haven't invested...

    Spencer,

    Congratulations on that first build!

    Looks great, and sounds even better!

    I saw you a NMC a few weeks back - hope all is well there.

    I'm sure I'll cross paths with this mandolin...

    Re: F-Style vs A-style ergonomics...

    Can't say I have a whole lot of experience in this, but I did have a couple of ideas.

    I played mostly A-model mandolins for years and then bought an old F4, thinking it was the "pinnacle" of the...

    Re: Dreaming of a Great A5 under $6000

    Not tying to stir the pot, but a scant few years back (5-8?) I was thinking that one could buy just about all the A-model mandolin one wanted for about $3000-$3500. What's happened to make...

    Re: What's The One That Got Away?

    Apitius A model some years ago (8 or 9?), before Oliver took his hiatus. Someone was selling it here for around $3500. I was first in line, but balked for an hour or two and the seller moved on. ...
