When I go up in smoke I've chosen After the Ordeal by Genesis from their sublime album Selling England By the Pound, followed by Walking Home by the great Eric Bibb. Strong, heartfelt and beautiful...
I'm very new to mandolins but currently have both an Ovation and a Crafter, so thought I'd do a brief comparison in case anyone else finds themselves with a similar situation.
I play guitar and...
Thanks all for the input. I've just bought a Gator semi-hard case which looks as if it'll fit my needs. Seems to be a cross between a gig bag and a full case, certainly well made.
Appreciate your...
Recently bought an Ovation mandolin but struggling to find a decent gig bag it'll fit in to properly.
Any recommendations please? Something half-decent and travel proof.
TIA
I learned to set acoustic guitars up and have done many over the years. As a newcomer to the mandolin I wasn't fazzed by tackling the job myself, especially since my learner instrument was almost...
Sage words, thank-you!
Hi Jimmy,
I'm still pondering about your MM68. It looks glorious and it's only the case that's holding me back. I need a decent Mandolin for a while but am worried I'll struggle to get my money...

Not sure this one's either dulcet or precious, but thank-you!
What a bargain! I bought this yesterday for $35.... It's hardly been used and came with a soft case and strap. Never heard of the maker but assume it's just a generic Chinese product that appears...
The series was filmed in the fields around where I live and also our nearest town, Framlingham was used for the meeting hall and the pub (which in real life is the Castle Inn). I agree, it's a great...
Thanks all for the welcome gents....
I think I've decided on an electro-acoustic by Crafter. It's secondhand, very cheap (£40 - $45) and the neck is true. At that money, if I find I don't like it...
Thanks!
Definitely not a soccer fan. I played rugby until I got too old and beaten-up and you'll generally find over here that rugby players don't like soccer and visa versa. :)
Hi all,
Just joined the forum so thought I'd say hello..... I've been playing guitar for years but have recently decided to add a mandolin to my arsenal. Haven't bought one yet but know it'll be...
