Just added a nice James Tailpiece to my J.Bovier. I'm not sure it made a huge difference but it makes me happy. Not a bad little Mandolin, especially for the money. Much brighter than my Ellis and...
Thats kinda cool looking... Love to hear it
Thank you for the correction on Cotton Music. When they were getting ready to move the guy inside told me they were done. Apparently that was bad info.
Cheers
FYI, Cotton Music has been torn down for awhile now. Good ole Nashville condo etc :(. Noshville is gone too now eeerrrrrrrrr.
You will no doubt have a great time at Carter's and the Station Inn. The Sunday night jam used to be a lot of fun at the Station but I haven't been in awhile. Visit Gruhn too while you're in town. ...
I would say my personal experience at GC has not been horrible so far. I bought a very nice D28 Authentic 1937 there with a trade which they were very fair on and also cut the price of the guitar by...
Congrats! Enjoy the ride
Ha John! If I end up buying another you can bet it will be an Ellis :grin:
Hi There,

Update: I've been playing this Ellis nonstop now for 3 weeks and I can't imagine ever wanting or needing anything else other than another Ellis. I am soooooo happy with this Mandolin. Thank you...

Ellis Tradition F5 2018 (I'm done)
Hi Lynda,
I knew your Dad and played with him on several occasions at the Tex's Saloon. We would see one another during the Western swing Society jams. I was in the house band playing guitar and...

Hey guys, Thanks for all the posts and the video clip too. I am admittedly new to the mandolin but have a been a guitar and steel player my whole life doing everything from touring to sessions and...

I work 2 blocks from Carter so I have to be careful myself :)
