Well summised Martin.
Got to play one of these today. As of yet it’s the only one in Australia, and unfortunately it was at a guitar show in a trade hall full of stalls selling 6 stringed axes to shredders with amps set...
This should be of interest to anybody using (or wishing to use) a condenser mic on their live mandolin setups.

1990 Gilchrist - Has this one been discussed yet?
Wasn't sure whether it might belong in this thread, although the price seems ambitious, apparently there are quite a few watchers.
How is the...

Pete's pickups are fantastic. Haven't used them with the Eastwood specifically but happy with the hotrods I have used them on.
If it proves too hard to find in the original form, the current Fender Robert Schmidt model is readily available at quite a decent price. A few differences in spec, but is an apple that hasn't fallen...
He was an acoustic engineer, working in an age before efficient public address systems existed, and therefore the oly sound reinforcement was the environment of the performance.
The F5 was a...
This listing seems a little ambitious
Besides the tuner issue, is most of the tailpiece missing?
This thread prompted my to look into the Shutts, but all I could find online besides one of these two, listed as faux Shutts were carved top and back instruments.
Didn't someone try to punch a hole in a BC pick with a nail a while back?
EDIT: here you go...

Guitar toolkit has a nice accurate tuner as well as a metronome and a chord finder that can be set for mandolin. Handy to have in your pocket.
Salted or unsalted?
Mmm, hole bunch of mics you've mentioned are listed as P48 in their respective specs. Not liking the chances on its of those, but standing by for report...
I think the original version is a great...
+1 to those saying try getting something a bit different other than just the cosmetic shape.
Get something with different character, you will appreciate the variety or as chip says, go all in for...
Amazingly only 9,364 of them are about what those little rubber donuts in between the strings near the tailpiece are.
Most Y-splits are passive anyway, so it wont matter who supplies, just use the usual source, probably the venue.
That does however highlight the issue that each feed being split again may cause...
Hey Brad if you're dealing with mixers with post fade direct outs and need more level, take a couple of XLR y-splits and use seperate channels to get into your recorder.
Unassign them from the...
2nd mandolin off the line on September 23 2008.
Looks good, definitely not 1983 though since F9 was only introduced in 2002.
I have let the seller know.
My cast TP only makes it quicker if I use ball end strings, if I use loop end, it it more awkward and takes longer than a traditional TP.
There are of course many different cast TPs all of them...
I wonder if Robert could speculate as to the price range this one might expect to be priced yet...
Yep should be fine, just stay away from paying more for the SJA+ as the volume knob will not work with your passive pickup.
Look for a seller on ebay going by the name Blue Star Music, they have a...
I'm lucky if a music store within 160.93 kilometers even has any mandolin strings. Usually I am confronted with "Oh, do you mean ukulele?" Or " We have strings for a banjo if that helps."
Fantastic...
I find buying nickel strings from MrMando himself both easy and economical, and I live on the opposite side of the world.
More recently I've tried some flatwounds which are nice, the Jazzmando...
Pretty sure the A5 I tinkered on was Peters's personal one...
