    Re: Slothead guitar-shaped octave?

    As it turns out, the builder's not into the idea. Which is totally fine. I'm going to go ahead and get on his list. His work is gorgeous and I trust his judgment.

    Re: Slothead guitar-shaped octave?

    At this point it's just a thought, but if it happens I certainly will.

    Slothead guitar-shaped octave?

    Re: Tenor Domra parts

    Thanks. I pulled it out of the case to figure out which of those scenarios was going on, and it's working fine now. Go figure. Thanks for the thoughtful answer.

    Tenor Domra parts

    Hi folks - I recently acquired a tenor domra to play with a balalaika group. For those unfamiliar with a domra (as I was), picture a four string bowlback mandolin and you won't be far off. Tuned...

    Re: Comparison/impressions of Guitar Body OMs?

    Webber - Is that the one that was at Fiddler's Green? I drove all the way out from Houston to look at it, and I was very tempted. Gorgeous mandolin. Congrats!

    Very cool. I've never played a zouk. I bet it sounds amazing with that big chamber.

    Curious to know people's impressions, comparisons, etc. of the current crop of guitar body OMs that are hitting the market lately. I have a Pono MND-20 that sounds great, but I find the 23" scale...

    I think they would own a nonfungible picture of a shape. So they've got that going for them, I suppose.

    Re: Mowry F5 - My Last Mandolin

    Congrats! Glad you love it. It's a gorgeous mando. For a moment I thought that was a Mowry I used to own, because I had Andrew inlay a similar trout fly on the back of the headstock. I think mine...

    That still seems to be the case. My girlfriend lives there and there's a reasonable chance I move up that way in a few years when I'm at or closer to retirement. There are plenty of places to buy...

    Jams in Asheville NC?

    Hi - I'm going to be in the Asheville area for the next two weeks or so. Curious to know if there any public jams around, especially that might be Covid-safe (e.g. outdoors or socially distanced)?

    Re: Free to a good home

    Wouldn't have helped Gunnar. The the inside (second) e string tuner is the only one that's not functioning perfectly.

    So, I had a problem with the tuner on one of my high e strings not holding tension, and the good folks at Ellis/Pava sent me a replacement set of tuners. I took the old set out and dropped the new...
  21. Re: Who thinks a Mandolin Cafe Patch would be a Good Idea?

    I'd buy at least two - one for my guitar gig bag and one for my mando gig bag. And probably an extra.
