good one!
I pretty much did what you are describing on a camping trip to the grand canyon. Temps ranged from 30s to 80s or so. It was in a calton case and I wrapped it in a 20 degree down bag at night and...
My friend occasionally lets me play his Old Wave, Ellis F, or one of his old Gibsons, but the one I usually play is my Heiden F. I like it a lot.

I don't recommend it.

Merry Christmas all.

The recent release of new Frank Solivan music reminded me of another strength of his, beyond fantastic musicianship and creativity.
Some years ago at a festival in Buffalo, Wyoming, I asked him to...
Well, he's no longer a stranger. It was a lot of fun to meet John Adams from Seattle. He made it to our Sunday jam twice and added some real quality to our group. He's a really nice guy. It was...

Hi all:
I live in Wyoming and am going on a week long boat cruise in early May from Seattle to Alaska and back. I don't want to skip a week of playing so want to take my mando.

I'd been interested in a builders instruments for a while. I casually mentioned it to someone at a music camp who said, "oh, I've got one of those for sale".
I bought it and am no longer on the...
Saw this in a local pawn shop. It seems reasonably well made and actually doesn't sound too bad. I didn't see anything inside.
Any ideas? Thanks,

Greetings. You got some good advice about traveling with your mando. Another thought; let me know if you are passing through Sheridan or Buffalo Wyoming, and I'll round up some folks to pick with.

What a treat; I got to visit with Sharon Gilchrist at Ucross, Wyoming last weekend. She, Darol Anger, and Laurie Lewis were there as artists in residence, and gave a really nice show before they...
After many years, I ended up with a nice Heiden F. No need for me to look any more.
We've had some around for a long time. My wife thought maybe home depot. I thought maybe a craft or sewing place. Google for sure.
Good luck.

I put a strip of sticky sided felt on the inside of the tuner jaws. It doesn't seem to affect the accuracy of the tuner and prevents marring by the hard rubber pads.

Thank you for the responses folks. It sure sounds like a long drawn out recovery time. I think my doctor was being a little over optimistic. I think I'll be putting any surgery off for as long as...
Thanks Sheila. Glad it went well. My doctor also mentioned pins but it was unclear to me just what he was talking about. Were the pins in addition to tother procedures or were they they acutal...

If I get to...
