    Re: Peavey Composer Series

    I originally bought it because I thought the case was going to be nice. I assumed (wrongly) that the mandolin would be of Rogue quality and playability.

    Re: Peavey Composer Series

    I highly recommend them for the price even if its not the power plate.

    I still play mine at sessions and just noodling (unless the kids are sleeping).

    All kinds if fun for a buck and a half.

    Re: Obligatory Rookie Thread

    I'm going to chime in on the Hora instruments, or rather, the Irish Bouzouki.

    I currently own two Eastman Mandos, a Gold Tone Mandola and have had several "cheaper" mandolins. My budget has never...

    Re: Ella or Cass, Dream a little dream of me.

    The melody line was killing me since i don't read music that well. I had originally asked if some had the bridge tabbed out so that I could see what I was doing wrong.

    I was curious how...
