Hi all. I am curious for those that have this mandola, if you made a bridge swap. When i first got my Loar 600 mandolin, i had a Cumberland bridge made for it and i noticed a difference in sound,...

Hi all. I am curious for those that have this mandola, if you made a bridge swap. When i first got my Loar 600 mandolin, i had a Cumberland bridge made for it and i noticed a difference in sound,...
Thanks! I probably have strings for octave as well, but was more interested in trying, hearing, what it sounds and plays like in a different key. It’s one thing to tune your mandolin a certain...
Thanks ! I saw the chart with the string tensions and it never dawned on me that .03 was a 30 in string gauges. I probably have a few loose strings that will work for this and will let you all...
Hi all. I posted this in the Blues thread, but thought more folks here would have an answer .
I have searched here high and low, and have read advice on how he tuned his mandolin, but i never...
Thanks. I tired that. It’s a bit floppy. I do have 12 sets of acoustic guitar string in the 10’ guage that i got by accident and couldn’t return. . As i dont use them on my acoustics, i use...
Hi all. I have searched here high and low, and have read advice on how he tuned his mandolin, but i never got accurate info on specific string gauges. One thread did mention string tension ,...
Thanks! I will give it a try. Mine came with a set from 40 to 11, i also wouldn’t mind a little less volume.
Would you have a gauge for those strings? I have a banjo in and would like to try a different gauge as well to see if it plays different.

She opened for the Stones in the early 80’s. I had really high bleacher type seats. But even from all the way up there you couldn’t mistake the legs moving around on the stage.
I listed two instruments about a month ago on reverb. Both received offers at full asking price, and i accepted them, but after a day of no response i looked closer at the offer and on the bottom it...
I have had a few. Had a pickup put in my blue ridge Br40t, sounds acoustic like plugged in, also had eastwoods SG shaped tenor, two humbucker and a bigsby, it can crank tunes loud and distorted. ...
I just sent them an email. Seems like a place where i would be in a different stratosphere than any of the people mentioned, but a unique experience the same. Checking with my wife, and we may go....
Just to follow up, i ordered a replacement Kluson set. They arrived yesterday and were installed by me. One of the fw repairs i ever did successfully. Had a local instrument guru look at the old...
It’s got to be in there. Mine had it. But i cant find mike marshall in mine. There are a few courses that can help layout some simple blues scales in different keys, and once you have that...
Eastwood has a page on their site that shows a few different tenor tunings that Warren Ellis uses. They include what gauge strings work as well.
I got one of the cravens, and what a surprise now there are two to choose from. Both look sharp.
I am drawn to tenors as well, originally because it was a different sound to add in with guitars to break things up. Even though i have had a few for about 10 years, it’s one of my weakest...
Hi. Great info! I ordered it from a builder called Mia. I wanted an octave for a long time but didnt have the money for what most decent ones start at. Plus she would make it whatever color i...
Waverly costs a bit more than i am willing to shell out. But i bet they are smooth in use. I am searching for another set of the Klusen with the black buttons.
I learn something almost everyday here! Thanks. But i bet up still screw it up.
Worm over is a new term to me. I will take a look and see what i can find. When you say orientation, does that refer to which way they turn?
Good point. My head stock isn’t a normal shape either.
Thanks! I will take the time to look at the spacing. If that is off, i am guessing i have to get individual tuners, or ream out the hole. But this is very helpful!
Hi all. I have an octave that has had some really tight tuners since i got it about two years ago. I am looking to replace them as the way the hole octave was built, i am guessing they are not...
