So, I'm in the UK. In about 3 weeks we're going to have a few days in Nashville. I want to upgrade from my 30 buck starter to a newer, nicer mandolin. Nothing wrong with the one I have, but I feel...

Hi, so we're in Kentucky right now, driving to Louisville tomorrow via La Grange, then on to Bowling Green, and then Metropolis and Paducah (over the next 4 days). Could anyone recommend any stores...

Ah, but you need to understand that I'm a very curious person, and I learnt a long time ago that the best way to learn is to ask questions. I know that my choice is completely up to me, but it helps...

Oh, mine is an oval hole A-type, an Amada, manufactured by Strunal in the...

That's really great, thank you all so much. I'm leaning towards wanting to play rock more than anything else, so I think the projection would be a real benefit there. I'll probably wait a bit...

Ok, I can see that this hasn't been updated in a while, and I wanted an easy to read list without having to go through the entire thing, so I compiled every single entry into a new list, slightly...

Thank you, I think y'all just saved me from a purchase I'd have regretted. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for dragons:...
