  1. Re: Waverly A style tuners, buttons with screws?

    The thing is - I really like the look of Waverly - simple and elegant, and I can't say the same about Rubners. To each their own I guess.
    I do agree that they are probably overpriced if I only take...
  2. Re: Waverly A style tuners, buttons with screws?

    I haven't even realized that F-style tuners on Stewmac site are "worm under" while A-style are "worm over".
  3. Re: Waverly A style tuners, buttons with screws?

    Are there any drawing on how exactly F-style tuner buttons are sitting on their shaft? I'm thinking would it be too crazy an idea to just remove glued buttons from A-style tuners and modify shafts in...
  4. Re: Waverly A style tuners, buttons with screws?

    Yes could be, I'll wait for the answer. Being in Europe it makes sense at lease discuss it with him.
  5. Waverly A style tuners, buttons with screws?

    Just wanted to share, maybe you can give me some advice.

    I want to change tuners on my A style Givens Legacy mandolin, and I want to go with Waverly (cause they are work of art). But honestly I...
  6. Re: Northfield Airloom Deluxe case 2.0 - what was improved?

    Thank you for all the answers, it's much more clear now.



    That sounds worrying. What's the point of having the case then if I always have to keep an eye on it and make sure nobody puts anything...
  7. Northfield Airloom Deluxe case 2.0 - what was improved?

    I'm thinking about buying Northfield Airloom Deluxe case for my Givens Legacy mandolin (cause I'm a bit fan of oblong cases and having extra space as well).

    I've seen that Northfield announced...

    Re: Martin 0-18T8 8 string tenor

    as far as I know they made only 5 of them, but as it was the custom shop you probably could've bought one indeed. Not sure if they had to reinforce the top though

    Re: Martin 0-18T8 8 string tenor

    Btw, what's your opinion - did Martin reinforce these tenor guitars to accommodate 8 strings or were they built sturdy enough to work well with double tension?

  11. Re: Guardian Professional Fiberglass Case for Mandolin

    I know it's an old thread, but have these been discontinued shortly after they started making them? I'd really like to have one. Especially if it was possible to have in black + lime green interior -...

    Re: Players/Recordings Using DAEA Tuning?

    I'm not aware of recordings, but I used to use CGDA with capo on 2nd fret on my tenor banjo, and sometimes I retuned it to CGDG to get more old-time feeling, so with capo on 2nd it was DAEA. I've...

    Re: Martin 0-18T8 8 string tenor

    Yes, but Pono has more shallow body and shorter scale length. I can't say I really like the sound though.
    I'd probably expect more bouzouki / Andy Irwine sound from longer scale and deeper body of...

    Re: mandolin strings on a mandola?

    I used to use standard D'Addario J74 for my Gibson tenor lute (which is long scale mandola, 21''). I felt that tension is a bit too high for an old instrument though, so I've ordered a set of custom...
