I think we all have those moments when you think you have it figured out and then you realize you need to keep practicing till it really sticks!

A lot of valid points on mandolins that cost a lot versus the cheapies.If you are happy with what you are playing then who cares. I've played some of each and just love to play!

I'm Gona try doing this it sure sounds better than the way I've been doing it !! Might not be such a chore.

Point well taken on trying to fix an F style mandolin that's been shattered!!

Growing up in the sixties my dad had a lot of the Louvin brothers records.we would play them for hours.I never saw Ira play an F style mandolin apparently he favored the A style

Try not to take myself too seriously, just have fun, practice more

Very sad

Just curious I have a bobelock case and that case looks similar to mine.glad it kept your mandolin safe!!😊

I would definitely agree there is a point where more money doesn't mean a better mandolin.I have an f5g Gibson that's about a year old and it sounds as good as some that are 6k and up.

You might find a used A style for 1500 but yes that's still twice the money he might want to spend. Northfield are pricey

If you like a good mandolin Northfield makes some really fine instruments.they are good quality for a Chinese

I just tried my first blue chip pick its a tpr 40 I'm hooked.but might try a 45 or a 50 the f5g really sounds great with the 40 but its the first one I've had.

I like the miniature dark Reese cups!
