I'm not a big fan of sunbursts on mandolins, but this one looks really nice. I like that it's a subtle transition between the two colors giving it an antique look.

Congrats. I'm the happy owner of a 172.

I may never buy an expensive mandolin just for this reason. I'd probably be too afraid of damaging it.

But with my current mandolin (km 172) I'm unafraid to take it anywhere, unless there are...

Don't resist her. She's a fun one. Will you be able to sleep at night knowing some other guy has his filthy hands all over her?

Personally I don't want the mandolin to ever become mainstream. I am happy with it flying under the radar if it means I don't ever have to see a Disney manufactured teen heartthrob serenading...

Thanks OS.

Hopefully it's something I can figure out on my own. Otherwise I hope getting a single fret fixed isn't too pricey.

I've been getting buzzing on my g string as well, but only at the seventh fret, and nowhere else.

It's a bit disappointing as I'd hoped that would have been taken care of with the "pro set up" the...

I didn't even know what a mandolin was until about an hour before I bought one.

For a long time I had considered learning an instrument, but never made any effort to start until last Nov when I...

Welcome. Like you I am new to the mandolin (3 months), and didn't play any instruments prior.

Definitely a lot of info to absorb on these forums.

Yeah. These guys are great. I just discovered them only a couple of days ago when I ran across their Smooth Criminal video on youtube.

I wonder how much money they spend on bows.

Same to you Mark. I had originally wanted to get the 174, but the Mandolin Store only had the 172 in stock at the time. In hindsight I'm glad I went with it as I love the colors, but I might also be...

Oye. I forgot about this thread. Here's a belated pick:

You can tell by those flowers that it's a real harsh winter we are having...

Update: I found it!

It was wedged down in the cushions of my computer chair. Only figured it out after my other wegen pick tried to do the same. I guess they missed each other.

It's like that...

I shook my mandolin... and then shook it a second time just to make sure. No luck.

Anyone ever notice that the picks you don't like don't mercifully disappear? I swear I could throw these Dawg...

I keep losing my picks (my mind might be following suit). I practice exclusively in what is approximately a 15x15 foot area, and despite this tiny space I keep losing picks. I recently bought two...

Would there be significant improvement when added to lower end mandolins (Kentucky km 172)?

Do higher end models, say the km-1000, have better bridges to begin with, or do all kentucky's have the...

Thanks all.

I'm happy I chose the Kentucky, and I will probably play it for a couple of years until my playing ability improves enough to deserve a better mandolin. I only asked because the...

I’ve had my Kentucky KM-172 for almost a week now, and I’m pretty happy with. I wish the frets were a bit bigger for my inexperienced fingers, but that’s a minor complaint.

I read a lot of posts...

Mine is not as high end as the others posted in this thread, but I received my km-172 last week, and have been enjoying it so far. Personally I prefer the look of oval hole A-style mandolins, but...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I received my McClung cherry armrest today, and so far I'm loving it.

Thanks Bauzl. I did read somewhere about jigs being DudDud, probably these forums, but thanks for reminding me.

Cheers.

Thanks for the quick replies. It's much appreciated.

jbrwky: That A chord is definitely too advanced for me. I was just using it as an example, since I just recently bought the Hal Leonard book,...

First time poster, but I've been lurking for a couple of months.

I started playing mandolin around last Thanksgiving. It's my first musical instrument, and so far I have just been muddling around...
