Forgot that, my appologies.
If you have a Rockler or Woodcraft store near you they both sell veneer.
Still worth a call to discuss possible discount coupons, worked for me
It served me well. Great fit, finish and tone.
BTW, it did have a shoulder strap, blanket to cover the top of the mandolin inside the case, a zippered pocket on the outside and accomodated a installed tone guard.
I had a 915 wirh that case. It was quite nice. Did not have any issues with it but those plastic(?) Zippers have failed on my wifes winter coats after many years of use. Never had a problem with TSA...
Well that was 3 years ago. I would call them and discuss price. If I remember right it was one of those pop ups but as I said, 3 years ago. They were very helpful on the phone.
I bought something like this from Mandolin Bros after Stan passed on. Getting it adjusted and installed the first time was like wrestling an octopus, installing it the second time was not much...
I remember reading on this forum that some people used a double tennis racket case/bag to slip their case into. Another thought is the Ohio Travel Bag company sells the parts you would need to do it...
Retrofret in Brooklyn is the only one I know of.
I pretty much listen to cd's I have transferred to my computer or a thumb drive OR Pandora. Have not tried others so cannot compare.
Did you remove all the hardware or just do a great job cutting around it?
Very sad. May the family find peace and comfort in his memory.
There are many youtube videos on how to change mandolin strings. I would check out the one by David Benedict and Wayne Benson. Nothing on that particular model that I saw but you might.
I played one of my mandolins yesterday that had not been played in a long while and every string was sharp. Not unusual in winter in my experience.
As being a beekeeper and honey producer a lot of people use mayonnaise to remove the adhesive from returned bottles before sterilizing them. Seems harmless enough but I am no expert.
The headstock looks similar to my Weymann model 30 but mine does not have a fretboard extension. Mine also has a pop off resonator. It has a nice tone I am told. I have 2 sets of tenor banjo strings...
For the notes - If you could find a print out of a scale, lets say the G scale ( because it covers all strings) that contains both notation and tab. Put your clip on tuner on the mandolin a play...
Just wondering if any of you folks have used "The Comprehensive Mandolin" course from Baron Collins-Hill. I have used his mandolessons from time to time and they are done well. Just wondering what...
Any more opinions on the original question?
Just saw this on the Bernunzio website. Don't know how it sounds but it looks cool. No financial interest, they do get some unusual instruments in there from time to time
...
I had a 1983 N-1 but sold it and another to help fund another purchase. It was a toss up as to which to sell- the n-1 or the stradolin. The n-1 one left because I could get more for it. I should not...
A friend of mine got an Ameritage case for his F-2. I forget which model case but if you contact them I am sure they will steer you in the right direction.
They have appeared in the cafe classifieds from time to time. I recently saw one on reverb and gbase.com
I am not sure if Pete Hart is still building them or not but if you search the forum you...
That does not seem right to me. I was just looking at some pictures on dealer websites and the inside of the scroll is varnished even on the 315's. I would have another conversation with the dealer...
