Good post. Yeah I'd get a Gilchrist if I had it. In fact for the price, I'm due for another trip down under and would put in my order personally.

Taking a second look at Pava and Northfield now.

Not to put a damper on any more potential future comments but thanks to all so far. Question answered in full. Bottom line is if I don't need a sweet sounding Collings soon I can wait and make my...

New Collings were $2000 15 years ago so I started with that figure. Now they're $2900 and with a torrefied top $3000 so I guess that would be the number.



For virtually the same amount I would...

I contacted Collings to inquire about use of torrified woods. They answered that a torrified top would be $100 more. No mention of all - torrified. Any opinions?

Ok thanks for the responses. I took a look at the Pava page and Collings is still at the top of the list for a few reasons. Gryphon has it and I've bought a lap steel from them before that I could...

Hi fellow pickers,
It's been years since I've been on here and searching for axes.
Over 15 years ago, I remember hearing if you want the best online risk free high quality mandolin just buy a brand...

Exciting news! I'll be performing with Alex Hargreaves and Nathaniel Smith on the Conan O'Brien show on TBS this coming Tuesday, January 21st! I'm beyond...

It's a single.

Going by the age of who gave it to me and at what age she said she got it I'm calling it a 1929 vintage.

I couldn't figure out how to post a pic so I put it as a profile pic.
I love it. Has so much volume I played at an outdoor bbq the first day I got it and rocked the yard even with a distant electric...

^^^ Nice.
It sounds less like a dobro than I thought it would, which for me is a good thing.
Though it's vintage I think it hasn't been played much so hoping it will be stage ready:)
but I have...

I have the black F style I think they call it the 'Phantom of the Opry'.
The only complaint I have about it is it's lack of volume but if you have a loud playing style it seems to make up for it, or...

Hey thanks for the replies. The gifter has said it is a Dobro brand mandolin but I still have yet to receive it. Sound (pun intended) advice about you tubing. One question if anyone knows - Does Sam...

Maui.
Once in a previous life, I was myself.

I'm the future recipient of a vintage resonating mando via gift.
I play bluegrass so hoping to incorporate the sound in a few of my songs.
While I am anticipating it's arrival would welcome any...

Old Crow Medicine Show on Conan tonight.

I like huge triangles about twice that size. It helps with my phobia of dropping my pick in the middle of the perfectly flawless Bill Monroe inspired solo and triangle so I never worry which...

OK I will and maybe begin looking at it through a different prism. Will get back.

Sorry fans I'm just not impressed with SM as a bluegrass artist. If I had his fame and fortune I could hire a world class band as well, maybe not even hire but attract a crowd that would love to...

I once played my intro in D for "Rain and Snow" and my luthier said that's the greatest mandolin solo of all time.
He was wrong on two counts. (He thought I was playing the Maggie May break).

Was awful on guitar for 20 years and couldn't sing a lick.

While searching for a new instrument 'Old Brother Where Art Thou' was playing on TV and I had been introduced to bluegrass through other...

I'M SAVING UP COUPONS

There is a band (not bluegrass) on my local TV station and I was listening to it without watching and heard a fiddle playing. When I started to watch lo and behold it wasn't a fiddle at all but a sax...
