I don’t know how it was then but, I would like to think people helped each other out where they could.

To the OP- I have a “new” box of Elixir Medium, Nanoweb. If those will work for you, they’re...

I suspect it’s relevant because, during WW2 most manufacturing was to support the war effort. Something called the War Production Board. I would venture to guess that would include the production of...

My favorite to play on mandolin is “Carol of the Bells”. There is the inner child though that loves to play Rudolph

Merry Christmas

I had what I consider an early one, had the old style tailpiece, Schaller Tuners, I don’t remember if it had the ribbon or a ring inlay. I think it was 124 or really close to it. It had the letter...

Dennis,

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

What a great song! You were able to convey a message and emotion, that I was able to feel.

I have enjoyed all your videos, especially; Dear Abby.

Mandozine.com has it, click on Practice Tunes, then on the left click on Tab|edit, then in the search field type in Sultans of Swing

I have read that Bill Collings didn’t use EVO fret wire on his mandolins because he didn’t like the tone it produced. It was here on the ‘Cafe that I read it, I don’t care to put the effort into...

Mandozine.com has it.

Now if I could figure out the opening guitar to Money for Nothing, I’d be quite happy. I’ve been struggling with it for about 2 months.

Good luck

-Best

To the OP:

As a mandolin enthusiast for the last 20 years, I would answer “Yes” to your question. I have wondered the same thing recently. I also don’t recall there being so many available at one...

The refinish was done in ‘36 and it looks like a beautiful mandolin. I never would have guessed a refinish would have such an impact on price.

I can say that Matt Bergdorf has done all my mandolin work for the last 15+ years. Within the last year he did a refret and a really professional speed neck on my Collings. As well, he has done a...

The M4 I ordered from Mike came well set-up, with the strings slacked and bridge taped in place. The neck profile is more of a “C” shape and I think it is comfortable to play. There is also a...

I may be way off track here but, the only thing I can remember from that time is Mickey Cochrane / Folk of the Wood.

This is true, the name is not related to “pancake” mandolins. In Boulder, you see the impressive Flatiron. Steve Carlson grew up in Boulder and hiked around the Flatirons. This is where the name came...

I somewhat remember reading on this site about a decade ago, that the A models had/have a beefier neck, it was an unintentional outcome when developing the mold. The F models have a smaller neck...

I would go with Woodsongs, Matt Bergdorff is the only one I want working on my mandolins. I have NFI

[QUOTE=Stevo75;1467080] I know it only takes a minute to go into another room and pull an instrument out of the case,

Get a mandolin for every room. :)

I was also told, by someone at the local...

Ohhh Yeah, I remember hearing something about that somewhere. I think there were a few made with the old antique maple.

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen it before

Thanks

Tom,

Right-on man. So, do you still have the Ajr Prototype? If so which one do you like better. It looks like your new one has a 3-piece neck, what about the prototype. Are they both Adi/Sugar...

At first I thought it was The Dillards, Whole World Round, but there was no mention of any leaves.

Chris Hillman played in The Flying Burrito Brothers, maybe you're remembering the song All Alone...

Maybe I missed the answer, but are the Ellis and Pava neck profiles the same? I am going to guess the answer is yes

Thanks

Yeah that's a cool shop down there, glad you had a good trip. For what it's worth, Shawn's dad is John Ramsey as in Ramsey Mandolins. I don't know how many he's made and I only know of one locally...
