Thanks, Franc!

Hi, friends,
A while ago l read a post here in which a gentleman was mourning his long-gone Collings MT, which he'd had to part with. l can't remember his name, sorry, but l may have something he'd...

I've had a Nyberg OM for nine years - it is excellent! Great volume, projection, intonation, build quality. They start st around $3k.

[ "The OM doesn't mix well with acoustic guitar, in my experience. The pitch is too close, and the timbre isn't different enough."

This is my experience, exactly. Listening to a recent recording...

About 4 months ago, l shipped an octave mandolin to Canada for warranty repair. I was concerned at the time because the OM had cocobolo - IE Dalbergia - binding. My luthier provided the necessary...

They make those.

Check out Pegasus Cases, out of Scotland. Their fiberglass products are pricy - probably WAY more than you've thought of spending! - but would certainly do the trick. I'm considering getting one that...

Mr. Miller,
My layman's kudos to you! Your approaches to mandofamily building, l'm interested in. Luthier Herb Taylor of Golden, Colorado is also using zero-tension bridges on some of his...

Hi! I'd suggest a Trinity College bouzouki, bottom line inexpensive but a genuine playable instrument, good for an intro. Re:strings, l get bulk guitar strings from juststrings.com - they work very...

Well said, DaCraw54, your words on the OM-bouzouki spectrum. I myself play -hmm- equal parts melody and backup on my instruments. After playing a 23" OM for some years now, and wondering if l should...

Lawrence Nyberg has a bouzouki for sale in the Classifieds for $2300. Check it out. He makes good ones - I've got one of his. Impeccable workmanship, great sound. Of course, choices abound.

Right, Mark. I tune to GDAE.

A few hours ago l took delivery of a new 24" 'short scale bouzouki' by Lawrence Nyberg, the strings of which are 45 - 30 - 20 - 12. I've been playing a 23" OM of his for the last 9 years. Its strings...

I'm definitely in for next January.

Hello,
This is great news! I live in Cochise County, AZ, just outside of the town of Bisbee - not far from you. Just yesterday l was wishing for some contact with other bouzouki players, as there's...

Hello, friends,
I myself play a 23" scale octave mandolin by Lawrence Nyberg of British Columbia, Canada. It does very well with 48w - 32w - 22w -14p gauge strings. Lawrence's tailpiece will accept...
