Happy Birthday Dennis-
Like many folks I haven't made a large purchase from the mandolin store, but I have bought a ton of mando accessories. I spoke with Dennis' son, Zack a few weeks back who...
Ken_P - I stand corrected, I got up the morning and thought my Brian Dean build date might be off. I just took a look at the label and she was built in 2005 (not 1995). She acts mature for her...
I have a Brian Dean mandolin from 1995, and it is SWEET!! BB King had "Lucille". My Brian Dean I nicknamed "The Mistress" as I spend a lot of time with her and my wife really doesn't mind. Enjoy...
Spectacular!!!!
Yes it does, depending are your fingers and hand. I have shorter fingers and a 12.5 size ring finger. I started playing at 1 1/8" for about a year. My instructor suggested a wide neck and I...

Hi!
I am in the compuetr biz. And yes this is a scam. I was recently selling a mando online, and got the same paypal song and dance. Including emails that looked like they were from Paypal,...
I would go with D'Addario FT 74s on that sweet Gibson!! Pick up about 3 different sets, I like the J 73's too. Trust me, you'll try a few types and model numbers..once you find the string you and...
Steve at Cumberland makes a first class product. I havent played a Siminoff. Put one vote in for Cumberland
I didn't want to spend too much, so I went with the Olympus VN-6200PC
I tried the web cam and other setups, but I like to record my lessons (Beatings actually) with my mando instructor. With a 30...
I have had several dealings with Elderly. They went beyond the call on the last mandolin I purchased. My mando teacher was on tour that week, and I explained, my instructor needed to test drive the...
Can't say enough about Doug and his products! Awesome product, awesome guy! The first day I had my armrest, my construction "friend" wanted to take a closer look, as he is big into craftsmanship. ...
yup Cumberland acoustics the way to go! I suggest also professional installation, unless you are a luthier.
OMG!!! That is horrific! I say stick it out on ebay "Kimble A..minor top sinkage". Sorry to here about the loss. At least it died at the festival and not in the office!! The pain does not go...
Fellow Mandos-
Lets talk about mando cleaning. Some folks never wipe down their instruments, yet others, use a micro fiber cloth or a dirty sock.
Any thoughts about wiping down a mandolin? ...
I am all for it! It is a great form of expression, and in some instances, turns a musician into a performer! Especially if they throw their musical expertise, vocal tones and body language into the...
It was a pretty good turn out last year. May 5th and 6th , in Ramona CA 92065 (30 miles north east of San Diego). Usually a few jam sessions going on as well. Hope we see you there. ...
I am a believer is shipping via Air. I just shipped a mando from Michigan to San Diego, and it came through flawlessly. It was $30 for ground $70 for air.
I have had one mando that arrived...
Well, I'll say this, about 4 years ago, I bought one for $91 on ebay (used, complete with 'whiskey dings' ) I just wanted a mando to take to the beach, and leave the money at home. Yes its a low...
Any idea what the nut width would be on this cutie? Thanks
