Happy to see your post this morning. I know it's been a while 'cause I sent you a PM way back in 2020 wondering about your absence. Welcome back!
8 string mandolin/banjo (banjolin)? Mint: <$500. Lunched: <$50.
What you say is true. The problem is that those initial developments (synthesizers etc.) were the unnoticed fire being lit under the fabled pot of water. If AI is left to run it's course, the frog...
Yup. A real class act...

My feelings exactly. The clumsy, heavy handed tactics of the company 'suits' (including any leather-jacket clad pseudo ruffians) is what turned me away from any desire to support them.
I have no...

Ahead of his time.
You won't be crucified. As said above, I know what you're getting at. I think most of us here do. But I would say this:
Compton is a very accomplished picker. He has devoted himself, his life...
What you say is true pheffernan but we have no way to know. No workable parameters here. The phrase "moderately priced mandolin" appears in the thread title. The post then refers to the mandolins in...
Without hearing it, I couldn't say for sure if it's a dog or not. But it sure ain't no DAWG. :disbelief:
Bart, George and Alex... I admire your optimism!
Interesting question but...
Seems it's not all that easy to get satisfying answers from Gibson about decisions they make regarding today's production. Uncovering the reasons for decisions made a...
Bottom of the page here, it does say "Glued in, Set Neck". I take that as differentiating between mortise and tenon neck joint vs dove tail. No mention of glue used.

Chances are, I'm not going to buy one, so it's not really that important to me personally. Regardless of what the 'hide glue' answer is, the question is still interesting. I read everything available...
Hard to say. That is a significant sum of money. I suppose IF I could be assured of getting all (or most) of that money back sometime in the future, I might pull the trigger.
On the other hand,...

The 14 degree radius is mentioned in the F5-G description.
Charming for sure Rick. The penmanship employed in song #1 gives it a whole new spin!
And by the way... song #2 was written by Don Imus' younger brother Fred.
That looks to be a very nice f2. Judging by what I can see of the interior, the case was also very nice until it was pried apart.
On one hand, I'm very happy for you obtaining such a nice and...

Thanks to yov, I now have a clve.
My vote is for mandolihomemade
Yes. What I should have said is "Just not glad enough to learn to like a bunch of those 'suspended' chords."
Don't know how or when it got to be a thing or why they're so popular, but those chords...
Sherry. If you like the music the Praise Team is doing and want to be a part of it, I think you should do like Skip suggests. Let them hear what they've been missing!
Personally, I'm glad...
