An Oval hole mandolin is on my bucket list
“While carving”, I believe while carving they would be able to use calipers/micrometers as you would have access with just the plate itself. Rick Lindstrom could have used ultrasound to guage his...
Just think I went to Walmart, found the heaviest test fishing line, bought it, put it on, never looked back.
After 3 sets of the e-strings breaking. And at the time I couldn’t find the Equila mando strings. I put the fishing line on and that’s all I’ve used. The line was brighter than the original strings....
Leather on my mandos. Use the grommets on my Mandocello. Only instrument I’ve noticed any change is on my Weber. Whenever I sent it in to have a broken neck fixed. They refinished it at Weber. It...

My nylon strung M-style Boat Paddle mandolin. Jerry changed his ukuleles from Boat Paddle Ukulele to Hoffman Lutherie. Just search for information on him and sadly discovered...
Just randomly today logged on to the Cafe. Wow, talk about a God thing. I’ve started playing my Weber Gallatin at church since I noticed that the brace that I had had repaired separated again on my...
Look up Steve Perry’s profile. I haven’t been spending much time here at the cafe, so not sure his status now. Remember that he had move to the Chicago area. He did the mando voodoo. Reprofiling the...
Turned 70 the 21st of December. Restoring our son’s ‘54 Chevy (He passed away 1/15/22 of a massive heart attack) so a custom build is not in the crosshairs at this time. But I still look and...
I’ve had a lot of, “ What is that you’re playing?”, “ Is that a ukulele?” To “I love your little guitar!”. But, when you’re playing a mandocello… :disbelief:
So far no one has come up and said,...
Have you always used the “heaviest strings I can find”? Or were they put on when you had the set-up done?
Does your set-up person have mando knowledge, or a guitar tech? With these little beasts,...
Local music store that ordered my Mandocello replaced them for me when they started breaking. Replaced them with chrome metal buttons that looks great on it. Have had no problems with strings...
Thanks for bringing this topic up John. I’m wanting to know what trees would be useful for instruments grown here in central Illinois. My brother took over our dad and mom’s place. He has 5 +/- acres...
I was there at that light house a few years ago. Bought some tickets to win one of the boats. The one that year was beautiful!!! Didn’t win it:crying:
Usually just call them by who made them since I don’t have duplicates in Mandos. Martin guitars are distinguished by “My Martin”, “The Little Martin” and “Leroy’s Martin”.(my wife inherited it from...
No idea on the builder. But I like the sound of it too. Hopefully someone from Brazil or surrounding areas can give you a report on the builder.
I do have a question. What’s the major identifier...
Love the tune Dagger. I cannot fathom what you all are going through that can’t hug or see your grandchild/children. See my 4 Grandblessings almost every day. Our daughter works in a hospital,...
Looks like someone grabbed the “F” template for a full size guitar.
Was in one of the Fitbit weekend challenges. Put it on my strumming hand. 3 services at Church with a before service practice. ;) Won the challenge that week:)

Shoelace works great. After neck was replaced and Weber refinished my Gallatin, the overtones was really noticeable. So the strip was a necessary addition.
Another thing to consider. How tall is your foot stool? I just lift my heel, up on my toes, without a stool and neither point actually touches my legs. Maybe try stacking some books up at different...
Mando I play in our church band is a Godin A-8. No points on it. A well rounded instrument... :whistling:
Practice at home with my Weber F-style. And take my nylon stringed Boat Paddle M-style on...
:)) Not necessarily. Not sure what the reasons for the points were in the original design of an "F" style mando. (whoever knows can jump in at any time) But they do function to help keep the neck at...
Why is it declining. My dad turned 95 in January. He still makes a large garden, mows some of his yard (I do his second lot, orchard and around his 5 acre pasture.
You could have 30 years of using...
