I believe the two have different finishes (satin vs. gloss), which will cause subtle differences in the tone.

Also, Weber has used different top woods over the years on both models (spruce vs....

Yes!!! I get this!

I too like "broken in" sounding strings, especially on my flat top. I usually change the strings on it twice a year and every time my mind is blown to how much I couldn't hear...

My mandolins and basses go out of tune sharp as well. I believe it has more to do with humidity and temperature than poor cut string slots for my instruments. Its never been of too much concern for...

Right on! :)

The TF120 is my favorite pick. I like the black ones better but I dont think there is any science as to why.

The M150 that I have is alright. I like for softer music, open chords, and tremolo...

If I had the money I'd jump all over this... how about another Gallatin! :)

Actually, I still might. I'd have to do some serious convincing with the boss though.

Although my wife (who is sweet in every way) likes my mandolin playing, and likes that I have healthy hobbies (music, running, hiking), she does occasionally get annoyed at loud and fast bg, ot, or...

Holy inlays Batman!

There's always that one guy in the crowd :))

Different strokes for different folks! And as you've already seen/read there is no specific favorite pick thickness for Mandolin players.

I, myself like picks that measure around 1mm to 1.5mm,...

You're getting there! And a lot faster than me too :)

I drove through MT on my way back home (Seattle area) from ND last summer. Beautiful state. I really liked my night in Missoula!

I feel this!

Last summer I traveled to ND and only had my (the) Loar lm170 for a couple weeks. My Weber never sounded sweeter when I got home to it!

Thanks Mark! Winning my Weber has proven to be a miracle. I didn't have and have never had the funds to afford such a quality instrument. I'm forever grateful to TMS and the Cafe! I'll also NEVER get...

I dont. As far I'm concerned the woods makes wonderful "music" all on it's own. I also enjoy the silence if the woods.

When it come to backpacking instruments are too heavy and bulky for my set...

I use that shape quite often to play the "V7 chord" in any key.

Maybe, maybe not. I disappear into backpacking/hiking most summers. Well see!

Neato! I like the Walnut backed one :)

I beat they sound just as good as they look!

C#7

You're taking a "G7" shape in the open position and moving it up the neck.

I just looked today and noticed I have now gone over 1000 posts here! (Mind blown)

Small potatoes in comparison to others but a milestone for me :)

Thank you friends for putting up with me this...

I asked my 8yo and 5yo daughters what song they think about when thinking about mandolins and their reply was Mama Dont 'Low :)) :))

There you have it folks.

I like looking around when playing... except at people's faces, which overwhelms me occasionally. Actually, I like looking around all the time (this scares my wife in the car, so she drives most of...

Totally agree and feel the same way about REM's Losing My Religion and The Goo Goo Dolls Iris which are the Maggie May equivalent for my generation... pop songs with Mandolin. (A side note, this is...

First off, I've never used one.

However, if you have the money to try one (or any accessory), and they are not that expensive, I don't see any reason not to give it a shot. You could always sell...

My delivery was initially scheduled for Jan 11th, it got pushed back to the 13th, read out for delivery on the 14th, and I finally received it yesterday (Jan 15th). It was only some picks... nothing...

Oh, of course it does! My bad, just couldn't put 2 and 2 together:))
