I would purchase a pava from the mandolin store. They do financing, and their customer service can't be beat.

I don't even want dog slobber on my pava or morris, can't imagine the aneurysm I would have if I got slobber on a Heiden. Lol

She licks The Loar and that isn't an issue for me at all. I can't wait...

I got a boerboel (south African mastiff) recently. She's currently 8 months old and 150 lbs. When I play any instrument she loves to put her mouth on them, whether she's licking or just rubbing her...

What are your criticisms of the book?

I've tried making a purchase from this website and their PayPal is either experiencing an error or entirely defunct as "buy it now" goes no where.

Where can this book be found? I've tried to search on Google and come up empty handed.

Thanks in advance.

I've played both and considered purchasing both. When it comes to playability, I'm not sure anything is easier to play than a Collings. I was shocked, honestly. It'll have you playing like a...

If you want an American build with a great tone and a luthier who guarantees his builds; Morris. Otherwise +1 on the eastman 300 series. They have a great warranty and are, in my opinion, some of the...

I had Tom Ellis personally call me back when I had an issue with the finish on my pava. Not only did they fix the issue but they paid all the shipping costs. I think their customer service is...

I have so many picks because I got tired of digging them out every time I used a different instrument. I've got a mandola, octave mandolin, oval hole, f hole. I also use two different types of picks...

Sigh. I have about 300 dollars worth of blue chip picks. I thought I'd never stray from the brand. On a whim, I bought a pack of 10 dawgs for 10 dollars. I'm now filled with 300 dollars worth of...

At this point you should be deciding what kind of tone you want. That'll help narrow down your choices re: builders.

Sorry to say but the mandolin store moved to Tennessee

So much for an economical alternative.

Ratliff's are great but you're not gonna get one for a grand. Country boy f style goes for just over 1700.

An f style for a thousand bucks your best bet is either a Kentucky or eastman.

Separations, top and back sinkage, cracks in the top (especially near the sound holes)

OH, do I relate to this with my dog. She's chewed up all the furniture. Lol. She's a large dog, but still a small baby mentally. Being 85 lbs at four months old is a lot of power for a dog that...

My dog is an 85 lb four month old. She jumps all over her humans and displaces whatever we are working on most of the time. I wouldn't feel safe playing my mandolins around her. Hell, she tried to...

I don't have the tools. A basic set up kit from stewmac costs 120 dollars. At that price I might as well get the rover from elderly, but unfortunately that's not in my price range.

I got a boerboel puppy recently and she chews absolutely everything. It's this reason that I've packed up my mandolins and stuck them in a closet. I've been looking at getting a Rogue, aka mandolin I...

Thanks for checking in. Glad to see you weren't caught up in a forest fire, hurricane, flood, riot, or taken out by a virus. Lol

I have no idea what you are talking about in terms of his behavior as an authority or otherwise? I'm not judging his skill or behavior. I was just curious where he went and if he was okay. I've got...

There's quite a few threads on the 272. Some have video demonstrations. I'd use the search option on the forums to look for 'em.

I had the 272 for a bit. I liked the sound, but ultimately the feel...

Anybody heard from Br1ck recently? He was active at the Cafe but haven't seen him in the forums for a while. With the world gettin' weird just thought I'd make sure he's okay. (hope this kind of post...

The ecuadorian bandolin is a 15 string instrument with triple courses. Anybody have any clue where to find one in the US?
