  1. Re: Has my Blueridge BR40T turned into a piece of worthless junk?

    I have one too, that's just not worth selling with shipping, etc. It has a center seam split that runs to the bridge. I occasionally play it, but prefer my bouzouki. Honestly, I think the BR40T...

    Re: New Bob Dylan

    Yes. I like it, although I usually prefer guitar based songs. Most think it was done some time ago, rather than being a 2020 song.

  3. Re: If you always wanted one of those sunfish style mandolins

    If I wanted a "fish" mandolin, it would be one Bill Bussman designed some years ago. His instruments are legend, even the conventional ones.

    Re: Do people ever change their strings?

    When younger, I was OCD about changing strings, often weekly. For some reason, as I've aged, I really like the sound of older strings on both guitar, mandola and octave/bouzouki (no longer have a...

    Re: Can never enough "Orange"

    Love them too. In some of their early videos, he played an Eastman mandolin (assume it wasn't just a prop). It sounded pretty good. But that Gibson is really nice.
  7. Re: one of my most fav Mandolin Orange -Harvest Moon

    Listen mostly to 60s stuff or old folks from that period, but Mandolin Orange is one of the few modern groups that I really like.

    Wow. Had no idea we had someone making such beautiful instruments in Atlanta. The mandolins, etc., on your site are incredible.

    Re: Octave mandoline string spacing

    Great information.

    Just a couple of weeks ago made an ebony bridge saddle for my Apollonio bouzouki. Ended up guessing at the string spacing, came out pretty close. Next time, I'll have this...

    Re: FIRST Octave on the way! Pono MND-20C

    Sounds very good, nice and deep with good sustain. I’ve had a couple, and pretty much make up tunes, chords, and drone all night long. My current Octave is really a Bouzouki, that I’m tuning ADAD...

    Re: Mandola lovers

    Very nice, Daniel, enjoyed that. Had an Alder Mandola too, yours has aged nicely in looks and sound.

    I sold my Alder to get a Weber Bridger Mandola, which will probably be with me until the end.

    Re: mandola picks

    Dawg picks work well for me. I also like thinner picks for different sound and dynamics.

    Re: Mandola lovers

    As part of my downsizing in preparation for retirement, I recently sold my Weber mandolin.

    I'm keeping my Bridger Mandola, a Bouzouki, one guitar (have a few to sell), a few ukes, and a bass. ...

    Re: Blueridge BR-40T tenor guitar

    I've had one for a number of years. It's a very decent, nice playing/sounding tenor. I had a 1930s Martin 0-18T that was killer, but needed too much maintenance. I don't think the BR40T was that...

    Re: Tenor guitar newbie

    I have one of the early BlueRidge BR40-T. It does have a truss rod, some did not.

    Previously, I had an early 1930s Martin 0-18T that was a super excellent tenor. I did sell it when I started...

    Don't have a lot of problem with headstock scratches to really worry too much about it.

    I am particularly careful on running strings through the tailpiece on my Weber mandolin and mandola. You...

    Like others, I have never A/Bed those two. But I owned a Weber Sage 1 Octave and still own a Bridger Mandola. The Sage -- a well built, although simple flat top -- was a nice instrument, wish I had...

    Re: Weber Bridger OM: Sierra Hull

    I’d love to have a Bridger Octave like that. I have a 2002 Bridger Mandola that is just wonderful, but would really like an Octave. What you heard on the video is why. And, they look and play great.

    Re: Easy string changing

    like several above, have done same for decades, although I usually do two wraps of wound strings and 2.5 or 3 for unsound strings. So much faster and easier. On a guitar, it's really fast.
