Out of the half-dozen or so of these type of instruments (not made by Goldtone) that have come in to our shop I have yet to see one that was playable in any sort of appreciable manner. They were...

I have my grandmother's name stamped on the tailpiece of my Collings. Sort of commemorates her as when she passed away, she sent a little bit of cash my way that I used to fund the purchase. Since...

Here is a Session King with a single coil pickup built into the end of the fretboard. Wish I'd taken a photo...but it has three pole pieces (inbetween the strings)

Hey Joe,

I was just playing my short-scale Weber OM through my Schertler Guilia, using Schertler's stick-on pickup. This is not really the set-up I was thinking about in my earlier comments. ...

So much manufactured outrage! I watched the video and frankly it doesn’t seem like such a big deal to me. Gibson will talk big, and will enforce what it is legally able to enforce. What it can not...

Every so often I buy a vintage photo and I found this one the other day. The image of the boy in his new looking but oversized hat and coat (perhaps bought large to grow into?) makes it worth having...

Hello all! Has anyone gotten around to trying out the newish Magic Fluke Flea mandolin yet? Curious to hear feedback on this one... Might make a good traveler? Thanks!

If the issue persists with new strings, you could check whether the strings in each pair is exactly at the same height at the bridge and nut. I have a slight issue at the lowest course with my...

Hi Joe,

You've done what I would have done to start: get a new set of strings. Old strings can be a source of a lot of weirdness.

Have you had the instrument set up?
Have you determined if...

Same here. I get more volume from the primetone material, but it is way too bright for my taste. The Proplecs give me a more woody sound. I do have a problem with the Proplecs developing...

IMHO (Your mileage will vary): I wasn't really impressed with the Primetone picks I bought. They're okay. I much prefer the D'Andrea ProPlecs.

Hacking out another Dylan song - practicing in the shop today & trying to get the chords & chord progression under my fingers.

I'm so happy! My last album has had great reviews and has ranked on the "best of 2018" lists at some of the most prestigious musical media in Spain.
That means national exposure for mandolin among...

It would probably sound like this one.

Here’s “I’d rather have Jesus” on my Kentucky KM900 mandolin.
New strings, it sounded so good I wanted to record something, hope you like it.

I got a "tactical" hard gun case from Amazon for less than $70 that fits my Kent electric mandola. I think it's bomb proof. It is heavier than it needs to be and only just wide enough. The handle is...
