    For anyone interested, he's asking $1500 Canadian. New truss rod and fretboard.
  2. Re: Ukrainian Mandolin - Fred Elchuk Winnipeg Manitoba

    I'm reviving this thread because an Elchuck mandolin (1934) has come up for sale in Winnipeg. I've asked the owner to send me photos. Here's one.

  5. Re: anyone seen/tried a B&J two point like this?

    Interesting, although not definitive. Not the same F-holes and Jake Wildwood's example looks like a flat top (so does that cool Lark, love the inlays) while the one I posted is definitely arched. ...
  6. Re: anyone seen/tried a B&J two point like this?

    I'm familiar with B&J, Sue. I don't think it looks anything like a Strad. I'm wondering if it's a pressed or carved top.
  7. anyone seen/tried a B&J two point like this?

    For sale not too far from me. Wondering if I should check it out.

    Re: Best Flat-top/Pancake/Army Navy Mandolin?

    I just bought a used Sawychin beavertail in as-new condition for the equivalent of US 550. (in Toronto.) It's a beautifully made little mandolin. Very good for old time and Irish music. The low end...

    This photo, taken from a member's post, is perhaps even more persuasive.

    Re: Odd mandolin

    Looking again I agree it could well be an Army/Navy. There's no way it's a regular Gibson, not with that shape. It's very hard to make a definitive judgment but looking again I see that is more...

    Yes, I think a Belltone is a good possibility.

    Re: Odd mandolin

    Interesting guesses. To my eye it looks too round rather than pear-shaped to be a regular Gibson. And that inner line or ridge doesn't look like a trick of the light to me either. The center seems...

    Odd mandolin

    Happy holidays, everyone. I noticed this very odd mandolin in a vintage photo for sale on ebay. The headstock looks like a Gibson; maybe the body is not original. Any thoughts?

    Re: Small Travel Size Mandolin

    If I can, I take a regular mandolin and a carry-on suitcase; it all goes into the plane with me. If I don't have room I take a sopranino or soprano uke in my knapsack, with GDAE strings. No, it...

    Hi all,
    We just bought a house in the country where we hope to eventually spend half our time. For anyone in the area, we are in Wareham, really a crossroads about 15 minutes from Flesherton. I'd...

    Re: Tenor Guitar tuned to GDAE, is it worth it?

    All very interesting. As someone who has owned and released several tenors before finally keeping one (a 20s Regal), I've observed that a lot of mandolin players will buy one but then find the hand...

    Re: Collings mandolin redesign

    Just to add a detail, Stefan Passernig told me several years ago that he helped to build the first 50 or so mandolins at Collings, all MT2s. But I don't think he had any input on design. Rather, he...

    Nice looking mandolin. I bought a used Morris from someone but when it arrived there was a bow in the neck. The seller believed the weather during transit caused it. Sent it back. Here's another...
