I thought the show was pretty funny and well put together. The mix of the musical sections was poor however. Couldn't hear the fiddle player or mandolin very well. The guitar and banjo were pretty...

Anyone know the string gauges? My biggest complaint about my Eastman is thinner strings than the Gibsons etc.
Nice to see someone who remembers how great those Lab Series amps were. Alan Holdsworth also used them for a time. I remember the day I played one for the first time at an audition. I went out the...

Thanks, Steven
Hello, Just wanted to let you know that MandolinMan has decided not to participate in the festival due to the cost of travel. We are hoping that they will join us in a future festival. We agree...
Wow thanks. One of these might be just what I'm looking for. The instrument warrants one? You mean is it worth it? Yes I think so.
Last year I bought one of the new Fender 4 string Mandocasters. Made in Indonesia but really quite solid. I really love it. It's great fun, easy to play etc. However the intonation of the high e...
I am the Director of the New York Mandolin Ensemble. After being given the balalaika I wrote a piece on it based upon my own experimenting with it. There used to be several balalaika groups in NYC...

Ok thanks for that tip.

The neck has been moving around a bit over the last months but I believe that once it ages a bit it will be stable....
Would love to see the parts. Can you post them?
I'm not sure but they may be illegal in most states.
