Glad you like your Pava. I have been checking on many lately and I do see that the Pava has a good radius on the fret board just like the Eastman mandolins. All I can say is if you paid a price like...
Just trying to get some people that might help me get this answered. I am trying to find out if there is a widely accepted radius measurement on a mandolin fret board that seems to work best for most...
Thank you Jamie. That was exactly what I was thinking. Appreciate your info.

I agree with you William but we know where and from whom these taxes are coming. I just can not say it on this forum or my post will be redacted like the last one.
I am considering buying a new mandolin after selling the inexpensive one I purchased a few months ago. I have a choice to make. I can buy a nice all solid mahogany F style or one with a solid spruce...
Thanks for all the good advice from all the people on the forum. It is appreciated by all of us new mandolin players. I purchased an inexpensive solid top mandolin(flat fret board) made by Ibanez...
I noticed that also just recently. It also appears Musician's Friend is doing that also in certain states. <Redacted for political content out of bounds of the posting guidelines.>
Is it best to look for a mandolin that has less radius than others so that you have a more rounded fret board instead of a flat fret board? Are they just easier to play with more rounding of the...
Does anyone know much about the morgan monroe bean blossom mandolin? Type woods used to build,solid or laminate, spruce and or maple etc. Thanks
Thanks for all the advice. If I need to level the frets I can do that but have checked all of them and have no high rockers on the fret board. I will check all the other suggestions and add the felt...
I am playing the A shape with f holes and do have a truss rod. I can easily change to the D' Addario J74 set that I have. I checked all frets and have no high rockers. 179039
Would love to have one of those.

I would love to have one of those mandolins.:)
I have one I bought a few months ago and for a beginner model it is not too bad. It does have a solid spruce top and with time that will help with the sound. I did have to do a thorough set up and...
I am new at the mandolin and am just wondering after checking for unlevel frets and a straight neck and making sure I have the strings on the low side at .090 and the high side at .060 I still have...
I really like the way you did the scoop on your mandolin. Great job. I am sure I would do the same.
Thanks for the info. Yes, I have Rob Meldrum's e-book and will probably set mine up about the same way. Since I have all the tools I do not have to worry about buying any. I think the most expensive...
The only problem with that is that if you have any high frets they interfere with the intended objective. By having a notched rule you are able to make sure the neck is first straight . Then if...
Thank you Benny. I agree about the high action at the first fret. That nut was not addressed properly at all. I will check out that link you sent. I have found out that I have a few high frets so I...
I purchased a beginner mandolin a few months ago and am starting to try to learn on it and have noticed it seems that I get more buzzing than I would like and would appreciate a little feedback. I...
Save yourself more head aches and request the seller take it back due to a defect. If it is MF there will be no problems. They will even pay the return shipping due to a faulty product. If you are...
Does anyone know if Roland White still has an operational web site store etc? I have been trying to log into www.rolandwhite.com but have not been able to get it to open. Does anyone know or have a...
I am thinking that may be because of the more piercing sound. Helps to cut through with bluegrass music for sure. Thank you Ray.

Thank you vetus. That was a very good article and very informing.
There is a possibility that I may play through a PA system at some point or do as a friend of mine had done with some type of stick on pickup and used bluetooth to send the signal to what he was...
I am considering buying a mandolin for country western church music at our Cowboy Church and was wondering. The only stye mandolin I have been familiar with are the A and F style mandolins with F...
