After playing with this little thing for a bit I realized that it is alot more noisy than any of my other electric instruments (guitars). Very Noisy in fact!!

I took the pickguard off the thing...

Thank you everyone. This post is very interesting to me because I just bought one of these Morgan Monroes for myself for Christmas. I mean, my wide bought it for me.
I agree that it is very well...

I gotta' agree about the McClung armrest. I bought one for my Furch mando and I love it. It helps me hold on the dang' thing better and lets my arm hang at the right angle to keep me from hurting...

I got my Furch 22sf about a month ago and WOW. For me it is the best I ever played. It sounded great brand new and it has improved a lot from playing. I can't put it down.

It has a neck that is...

My suggestion is to leave it "raw" sanded butt-smooth but put a bit of some hard wood wax (Like Minwax or other good paste wax) on it to keep the grime out. Wax will look raw and bare but it protects...

No Really. . .Why is it better?

I have owned both the Loar LM-520vs and the LM-300. I absolutely loved the 520vs. The newer ones are much better than the older ones, be sure it is a 520VS instead of a 520v. I played it against a...

Well I did it!
I crafted an "almost full contact" bridge much along the lines of the Murphy Method blog bridges invented by Red Henry. I made mine out of rosewood as I had some around. I left only...

Thanks to All again

take care all

Thank you all for your input.
The feet of the bridge do not touch any part of the top that is braced. These feet do sit very evenly on the tiop, admittedly in the little depressions that they...

As a long time furniture fixer and repairman I only use vinyl sealer when I am trying to put a lacquer ( or C.A B.) finish over something that might be contaminated by wax or crud or silicone. Vinyl...

I have repaired quite a few edge chips in lacquer. Patience is the key here.
For a crack in the lacquer only (i.e. no lacquer is missing, but just cracked) I use Mohawk Amalgamator, which is a...

Hello - This is my first post.
I recently purchased a "The Loar" LM-300 at a very reasonable price. This seems to be a very nice instrument and I think it sounds wonderful. The mandolin has...
