I think what we all have to remember is that the person who built this could be anyone. But the huckleberry trying to sell it is the one to truly laugh at. And most likely they are not one and the...

My wife feeds our squirrels so they only fit on Upright Bass any more!

The general consensus based on what I have read (mostly here), when players have replaced the tailpiece with a brass or heavy metal one it has had negligible effect on the overall tone or sustain. It...

That just makes my eyes hurt with laughter:))

Big Rock Candy Mountain! When we did the service for my Dad's funeral, my brother in law played the acoustic guitar and sang while I played the mandolin on a horrible old Bentley mando my mom bought...

Unfortunately I can't do business with First Quality. 2 or 3 guitar players I know worked there and their shop used to be about 900 yards from my house, but the store has mad only one impression on...

Looks like I am up the creek here. No teachers of worth in Louisville Ky. :crying:

Actually that is Old Crow Medicine Show. As usual Darius is playing someone elses song. To his merit though in the video guess what band is featured...

The Guitar Center doesn't set up the Mandolins at all. I went in a couple months ago and they couldn't even find an A style case to sell me. The salesman looked uncomfortable with just going in the...

I am a reformed bass player with 30 years of experience playing in clubs. I learned everything the old fashioned way. The guitar player loaned me his bass and said learn these tunes! I am looking for...

If you want crazy, Here I am! 54 yo with 2 decent mandolins, and I am able to play a few scales and rock/alt songs and The Thrill is Gone by BB King. What is worse is I played bass guitar for 30...

Might try Liquid skin on your fingertips to seal em also. I know gloves won't help. I have washed dishes for a pay before. The gloves unless they are scuba quality and tight will only make it worse....

It is the skin that seems to tighten. Backs of our hands are dry by normal standards. Daily immersion will only make it worse. Lotion for the hands and give your callouses a couple hours after work...

That is exactly what I thought you meant. Yeah that looks a lot nicer than a cinch knot looping over the shoulder!:))

Awesome!

That is true but I would prefer a case that fits than to make one that doesn't fit sort of work. I already made something kind of work. I just thought if anyone would know of a case that fit a...

Thanks Mike for the free education. More than I ever got from the govment. Websters Definition says:

Spring toggle comes up on Google as a toggle bolt that holds stuff attached to drywall. Is that what we're talking about?

As I mentioned, already tried Musicians Friend et al and an A case wont work to my satisfaction because it will leave about 1.5 inches of play all around for the mando to bounce around in. I own a...

I have bought and sold on eBay since about 1998. Electronics printers acoustic and electric stringed instruments and some Roycroft collectibles and books. In every category few and/or blurry pictures...

That sounds nice and clean. Any chance of getting a pic so we can see how it looks? I love all the ideas posted but sometimes it's hard to envision the finished product...

I have a Mid Missouri M-3 which I bought sans case. I am looking for a modest case which will fit more snug than an A style case for the Army/Navy or Pancake style Mando. Nothing Travel ready as I am...

Actually that looks more like a cowhorn to me. And the quote" I don't know nothing is a double negative implying this guy is a wealth of knowledge about this item!:))

What a cool thing to do. I hope I win but even if not Thanks for the great prizes for the members here!

Dean Markley recommends the Museum Putty in their web site. I accquired a transducer that had none with it so researched and that was their solution. I would have thought they would sell the putty...
