Take a look at this thread. https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/109641-Montana-Gibson-Mandolin-Specifications/page2
I think it's a 1941. https://www.retrofret.com/product.asp?ProductID=10812&name=Gibson-F5-Carved-Top-Mandolin-1941
I played mandolin for many years sitting down unless I was performing. I would typically cross my left leg over my right leg. It worked ok until my leg fell asleep.
A few years ago I bought a...
In the summer of 1974 a buddy and I happened upon the Falls City Ramblers at the Our Common Heritage Festival in Dayton. At the end of the set they invited the crowd to join them that evening at...

Sounds like Money's All Gone.
I've had the same problems with the DR wound strings as others noted. They go sharp as you play up the neck but not in unison. One is sharper than the others. I contacted DR last fall and they sent a...
I just bought one for my Android phone. The only problem is I haven't found a camera app that will allow me to monitor the mic input sound levels while recording videos on the phone. I had do to make...

Here's what it sounds like.
Hey everybody. I'm the proud owner of the latest by Robb I ordered it in February and it arrived today. The black on blonde is stunning plus it sounds great. Robb did a really nice setup work on it,...
Thanks everyone for your responses. The music store where I bought my Flatiron, Dayton Band, didn't have any in stock when I was in the market 20 years ago, but the owner said he was going to order...
I have a Flatiron F5 which I bought new in 1994. This is the chocolate model, signed by Bruce Weber, and has tone bars, not x-bracing. It's a very nice mando and I always receive compliments from...
