Like my last hot date (Which ended up at the emergency room), the trapeze looks, uh, misaligned. I'd still like to try it. (That's what she said).

Yes, I still have the cello blaster for sale. Pm me if interested.
I've got one for sale, if you're interested... Lots of fun, but I rarely play it.
It's just me, and I am old and cranky, but I have two questions:
1. Does it stay in tune after bending a note up a couple of half-steps?; and
2. Does it break strings after trying to bend a note...
I'd love to try 'em!

Truly the ancients have much to teach us...
On hold already.
Hello and welcome!
Where do you live? Lots of places in the U.S. don't have much mandolin selection to speak of within an hour (or two) drive. If you don't travel a lot, you'll have to buy sight...
Just read the wonderful article you linked to, and came back to correct my post, and you beat me to it. Yes, the EM125 is a mystery.
All the above photos brought me joy today. Thanks for posting! I wonder where each of these emandos is right now...
PM sent.
Short answer: women.
Is Rono building new emandos again? After all the unpleasantness? Or are these new old stock? I agree with Martin's take on this and applaud the way he handled it.

My guess is that it was made by Antonio Tsai (if that is his real name), a builder from Vietnam who likes to use a lot of inlay. I have no idea of value. ...
I can't remember! I wrote the seller and asked for the letter, if he has it. My emando is NOT marked "Tiny Moore", but you can sort of tell they are the same...
Here (hopefully) is a picture of the Roberts Emando #1019 referenced in the letter attached to the auction. I bought this prototype from Glen 5-7 years ago. Notice the unusual "dogbone" bridge. ...
+1 for photos of in-progress restoration. At the very least, post some before and after pix so the rest of us can admire Joe's work.
I don't think I've ever heard of a mandola (or mandolin) put...
Here are the number one songs from 2/11/1956:
US: Dean Martin - Memories Are Made Of This
UK: Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons
Very nice pairing for a fine musician on the occasion of his...
Wow. ##### is a disallowed word. How can we discuss reproductive ethics in a meaningful way? Is 'spunk' disallowed? If not, substitute 'spunk' in the above post.
1. Those ##### are swimming the wrong way! Stupid #####...
I must confess that when I saw what that Kent 836 went for I pulled mine out and thought about putting it up on The 'Bay. Then I thought how deep can the demand be? Now I wonder what the 2nd one up...
You replied so fast that I was editing more stuff into the original post. Lay off the coffee late in the day. <joke>
+1 For a rectangular case. All those other cases look real purty and expensive. If you have just one mandolin, you'll be lucky just to find a case that sort of fits and you can customize (hack at...
Also, it's really nice to think about the distance between the pickup and the strings. If the pup has individual height adjusters for each string, you can adjust after pup is installed. If you...
