Thanks for these resources. I'll start looking into these avenues! I actually saw JWalsh picking at Cranmore and at a festival at an apple farm in Maine and hearing some mando and acoustic music...

Hey Dave,

Did you ever find anyone to pick with? I moved up from Louisville Ky to Conway NH and would love someone to pick some BG with.

Hi Jim,
I'm in Conway NH, about an hour and 15 minutes out of Portland. Do you know of any bluegrass jams in the Portland area? I know there is one on the second thurs I think. How is that one? (I...

Collings MF Deluxe

(Or if you can find a used Gibson f5 Custom from TMS with the big frets...)

I'm obviously biased ;)

Sweet. Enjoy

I really enjoy Mandolin Orange.

Greensky is pretty much rock/country/jamgrass.

Caleb Klauder is old country.

On the weighted bell curve of mandolins, I'd say the peak is near the $5k mark... Because at the far ends are basically a $350 starter and a $22,500 Gilchrist, and you could basically eliminate the...

Microfiber cloth

The actual Saga site specifies Adirondack on the 1050 but they specify "Select Spruce" on the 950.

Nice! Enjoy it!

I bring my own mics, I have a Shure Beta 57 and a Beta 58. One for instrument and one for vocals. we usually use our own board unless the venue has their own sound guy, advanced board, etc.

I've bought several mandolins from the Mandolin Store, and also from Cotten Music in Nashville. I have been really happy with their service, and setups.

A well respected luthier here on the cafe offers "hotrodding" services and he says he has the best results with higher end mandolins like km900s, 950s, 1000s, 1050s etc. It would be cool to hear some...

Good luck. Post up the results when you do the work. Curious how it turns out for you.

The 150 is a good first instrument, but speaking for myself, I would jump into a radiused board like the KM250 or 500 asap. Nothing against the 150, but I think the km250 is definitely worth it.

Just clicked full site and it's back.

Thanks!

No idea how I would've survived the work day! :))

Maybe someone can help me out.

I'm using chrome browser on my desktop at work, and somehow the forum view looks like the mobile version now. Any ideas how to switch it back to normal view? On...

Collings produces some of the best mandolins out there, and I say without hesitation they set the bar for consistency. Their fit and finish is second to none. Tone is subjective, you may or not like...

This is definitely not the wisest ad, but maybe she's just impatient and creating interest in the instrument they plan to sell. She is potentially being honest at least... Maybe her finance is really...

Northfield states that their wood is all sourced in North America, and then assembled overseas.

My band busks twice per year as a fun way to celebrate birthdays in spring and fall, and we invite some friends that aren't in the band.

We play in the artsy end of town with a ton of bars. Its a...

How good is it compared to a US made mandolin? That really depends on the make and model. Some of them can be really nice. I think a Kentucky KM950 would be good enough for most folks. Those are in...

No Mandolin Content Unfortunately!

I've been flatpicking the old guitar a little recently because I injured my foot in a rock climbing accident and I've had more time at home... It's been a ton...

Northfields are in a higher class than Eastman. Eastmans are great, the Northfields are just better...

Kentuckys have a traditional tone and in my opinion their finish of their master class...

I'm interested in this as well. I was hoping for better reviews on the baggs because I love the boost feature on the Venue DI preamp that you can use with it. Any suggestions on a boost DI preamp...
