    I'm seeing Sasquatch.
  2. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    A friend of mine who lives nearby owns a beat up Nugget F5. It has tone for days and some badass projection. Almost unreal.
  3. Re: Leather Britches played by John and Steve Reischman.

    I learned Leather Britches from John Reischman at a music camp in 1992. It's still one of my warm up tunes. A great one to get your picking hand in order.

    If I did buy one the first thing I'd do is remove that ridiculous pick guard.

    Re: playing late and drinking

    In my experience there's a sweet spot of being buzzed, warmed up and playing freely. The trick is not imbibing yourself past that sweet spot into incoherence.

    Re: Locking your mandolin case

    It's been my experience that a lot of instrument cases could be unlocked with a simple twist of a small or medium sized screwdriver.

    Perhaps not with higher end cases.

    I once saw a harp ukulele at the La Conner guitar festival.

    Re: Reverb Scams

    I've mostly been a buyer on Reverb. Years ago I listed a lightly used 2015 D-18. There were no scammers but the low-baller trolls were thick. Many low-ball offers.

    The worst one was a lowball of...
  10. Re: Good free tuner Apps that work with mandolin?

    I use a free app called InsTune on iOS. It's chromatic so I use it with guitar and mandolin. It's accurate with an easy to use interface. An excellent app for tuning in a quiet space like your living...

    Re: Re-Shaping a Pick?

    I reshaped a tortoise shell pick using wet/dry carborundum sand paper in a shallow baking tray filled with about 1/2 inch of water.

    Use a pulling motion across the sand paper. I used 200 and 400...

    Re: How do you clean your fretboard?

    I recently did some work on the saddle of my Gibson and had all the strings off so I took the opportunity to clean the fretboard. I used a microfiber cloth sprayed sparingly with Murphy's Oil Soap. I...

    Love Bug trailer with picnic table, umbrella, coleman lantern, beer cooler.
  18. Re: F5 , the Classic Gibson or the new era Collings?

    I own one of each. (see signature) I love them both. The Gibson is sweeter sounding in a way. It has the high lonesome sound in spades. It will produce a great old timey tremolo which sounds spot on...

    Re: The Most Elegant f-holes I’ve Ever Seen

    A beautiful mandolin to be sure. Elegant is a good word for it. I wonder about the uncompensated saddle though. It could be a tuning nightmare.

    I had a cheaper mandolin in my beginner days that...

    Re: Mandolin string recommendations

    I think almost any phosphor-bronze string will give you more projection. A popular type with mandolin players is the D'Addario EJ74s. They might be beefier than you'd want. You could try the EJ73 for...
