Just for record, a whoop and a yee-haw are a long way from a Rebel yell. The genuine Rebel yell lasts long in time, is drawn-out, high pitched and more than a little eerie and scary. If you cut loose...

It almost certainly infringes.

The clothes look more '30s to me than '20s. I would be less surprised for it to even be the early '40s than the late '20s. I'm no expert in early 20th century fashion, but there are sewn on collars...

Thomastik's mandolin strings are very warm sounding, but a bit pricey.

Until just a little while ago, every instrument I owned was worth more than my old car (Except that $100 Chinese fiddle). But the car died and I had to get a new one. But in just a few years, it will...

I can't even begin to guess, but I liked Number 1 the best. It seemed to have a fuller, more complex tone. After that, I liked 3 next. Numbers 2 and 4 seemed similar to me. None sounded bad - don't...

Aren't light pick marks just going to show up again when you play the instrument? And then you have to polish it again. And then they show up again . . .

I'd leave it be if they were where pick...

I have a Weber Sage. I love the way it sounds, but I have mostly been just noodling around on it, and trying to play it like a mandolin. The stretches, though, make that less than the best way to...

Who has Scott Tichenor's daughter's "Starry Mandolin"?

Did he play "Bluegrass Widow?" Lyrics (for those who aren't REK fans):

It’s been five years come this autumn, she remembers well the day
The day the fever got him, and took him far away
Far away...

I used it on a mountain dulcimer I made. I have also used it on gun stocks. It is pretty easy to apply, and gives a good appearance. It isn't quick, especially if you want many coats, but I like it.

I am impressed. It looks great.

I made a kit mountain dulcimer, which was fun, but way easier than a mandolin. I'd like to try it some time.

I like rectangular cases for mandolins. They aren't that big to start with, but I can see the space saving appeal of a teardrop shaped case, too. I am also a traditionalist, and like the wood and...

Could be time for new strings.

If that doesn't solve the problem, check the tuning machine, too.

Buy full width boards? ;)

You could certainly express pessimism, or some other negative emotion, in your playing. How could you play any murder ballad without expressing some negative emotion like sadness or futility?

I am...

Thanks. I didn't search - I apologize.

I have a Breedlove K style mandolin. The "scroll" isn't a scroll and you can't use it as a place to tie a strap. I have been tying the strap to the headstock.

I have considered installing a strap...

That was it - thanks.

So they were ivory. I'll be. They sound good, and no wonder they took scrim nicely.

I like the Thomastik flat wound strings, which seem to have a balanced and more warm tone as compared to the J74s. For me the FT74s were sort of in between the Thomastiks and the J74s, and neither...

Five or six years ago I got some picks from a member here who made them out of an ivory looking material. (They may have been available in other materials, but the ones I have are in that...

Me in an old Mandolin Cafe chord t-shirt. (That was pure coincidence. My wife just happened to take the photo on a day I had it on.)

Here's a detail of my Rogue.

I think Elderly is great, and if I was going to buy a big ticket item over the net, I would choose them. I have - I bought my Breedlove mandolin from them. They have replaced defective CDs for me...
