Strange? Not really. I still have the mandolin and here's a pic. The filled holes are a little hard to see in the photo, but you should be able to see that the holes closes to the nut on the...

I installed new Grover 409s with black buttons on a fairly new md315 about a year ago. The posts fit in the peghead holes perfectly, but 4 of the screw holes did not match the new holes on the...
New Lady Moon video of her doing some lovely fingerpicking on her octave mandolin.

A very beautiful, tasteful and elegant looking mandolin. Love it!
Listening several times with headphones, the thing that jumped out to me is how much louder the Bourgeois is than the Northfield. I didn't notice much volume difference between the Bourgeois and the...
I recently changed the tuners on a relatively new 315 to Grover 409s. Only 3 of the original 5 screw holes on each side aligned with the holes in the plate of the new tuners. The holes nearest the...
I don't know what any of this means, but it's really disturbing.
I don't see that anyone has mentioned Mandomutt as great place to buy and consign instruments. I've bought from, consigned, and traded with Kevin at Mandomutt several times over the years, and he's...
Sounds great, Rob! Nice playing and vocals. Hope to hear you guys playing live in the near future.
I really don't have a strong opinion on this one way or the other, but I've owned 2 mandolins that came with strap buttons already installed, and I liked them just fine. I didn't find find that the...
Not to be too technical, but...Technically, spruce belongs to the family Pinaceae, but pine and spruce belong to completely different genera within that family. Pines belong to the genus Pinus,...
After listening to the new song/video a few times, I'm loving it. I've been a Mandolin Orange fan for quite a few years now, and am good with the new name. I like it, and am looking forward to...
It's easy. Just visit the classifieds, buy another mandolin, and have it shipped to you. You'll have the box you need in a few days.
I had always played dreadnaughts for both flat and fingerpicking. My main guitar used to be a Martin HD28. As I got more into fingerpicking, I tried out a number of guitars I thought might be...
Is this the same mandolin?

I've been listening to quite a bit of Ashley Broder, and I love what she does with electric mandolin. She does everything from solo pieces to the electric combined with her amazing Apitius mandolin....
I certainly would like to emulate that!
Like quite few others here, I'm a long time guitar player who got hooked on mandolin. I've been playing somewhat seriously for the past 5 or 6 years, and have gone through quite a few mandolins...
I bought a 2-pack of the D'Addario micro tuners and had problems with both. Not only would they not lock onto certain notes, they both produced a vibrational buzz/rattle when left on during playing....
I first bought my Tonegard to use on my Pava A-5 (#14) when I bought it new, and it fit great. I later sold the A-5, used the Toneguard on several other instruments I've since bought and sold, and...
TPR 45 or 50 on my 1921 Gibson A-4. But I like these picks for guitar and my Pava F5 as well.
I, too, have an ambition to someday play with other people and have also explored what are some of the essential Irish tunes I should learn before trying to sit in at a session. There are so many...
Thanks, Jill. That's exactly what I've been looking for. Just downloaded it and it's quite inexpensive. While I'm here, let me say that I've really enjoyed the videos of yours that I've seen! ...
Yes, I'll give that a try. That'll simplify things a bit - no need to mute beats 2, 3, 5 & 6. Thanks.
