There's always a variance isn't there? I don't think any of the reputable makers produce bad mandos but some are special and others, not so much.

Sometimes you see a mandolin that has two or...

Congrats!
Looks like a good companion to the Pava!

And to answer your question instead of just throwing a bunch of links at ya:

Any of the mandolins in the whole thread will be a nice professional quality mandolin. We're really spoiled! I think...

Sad news.

In the late 90s I was able to attend a weekend camp where he taught us Trippin up the Stairs and Monkey on a Dog cart. He was a great teacher, very fun to be around and a stellar...

Sounds great! Are you writing a lot right now or are these tunes from over time?

Great playing. Sounds like it really projects!

I like evaporative humidifiers. This one has been helping us through some cold temps where the heat is cranking. Should be good for 350 sq...

Groovy!

Seller on ebay seems to know a lot about it.

That's beautiful! And huge! The Walnut is magnificent. So good it made me capitalize Walnut.

Can't wait to hear it.

There are difference of course but in terms of Irish sessions:
-Some don't want any stringed accompaniment.
-Some are fine with stringed accompaniment but they just have too many guitarist/zouks...

Nat Taft is a luthier from Wisconsin but he seems more into violins. Maybe he made a mando or two?

I know Andy Poe started out under the name of Driftwood Mandolins. I've seen a few of them. They look beautiful!

Nicely done! Thanks for posting.

Aston mic? Which one? Was that the only mic you used to record?

Sounds great! A killer Pava and well played.

Two fun songs to jam along with. Makes me hopeful for summer outdoor music. It hit -30 here last night!

I must say the Apollo peek is by far the favorite pick on my Breedlove Revival OM guitar. It just sounds better than any other pick I have including the BC and Wegen. The rest of the band heard it...

I was diggin the A4. It's different but I don't think worse or better.

I'm tempted to try one (and the D'Adarrio CT Casein too) but I'm worried about the durability of any casein pick.

I got the Peek pics. I'm afraid to try any casein. I don't mind dropping some money on a quality pick but I need it to be indestructible. I have some 5 year old Wegens that I still use. I just...

I got my Apollo picks. I like em. They're in rotation with my Wegen, CT55, and Primetones.

I have three spendy picks and each instrument will get the one that works best with it. Then each...

Apogee has a lot of gear that can be used be used with IPad. Apogee One is an interface and a mic combined for IPad.

Sorry for the your loss. It's a big one.

It was very wise to get a head start on the harmonica. Best wishes in your new musical journey. I think the harmonic sounds great on fiddle tunes. ...

I can't really comment on your specific mandolin but I would say this:
If you have second thoughts about the quality of a mandolin on the day you got it, you will probably always feel that way and...
