Hey Dan-
I am interested to hear what your opinion is now after a little time with the Collings and new strings.

Well to me it sounds like it’s strings. EJ74s are my typical go-to, I wonder if the strings are just dead? It may be a fun experiment to order a variety and see what comes from that.
I’m not...
I am wondering if the A and E sound thin when played open or just when fretted?
…Just long enough to sell your; 2018 Gibson Black Night F5-G in the Classifieds?
I’ve got one of the new F-5Gs from TMS, it’s a Fantastic mandolin. I don’t have enough experience with Harvey era Gibsons to give a comparison.
Gibson website says, “ The F-5G features refreshed...
I think the 1923 Reissue is awesome!. I’m not in a twist over the label. I view it as paying homage to the legendary builder of a legendary mandolin.
I do wonder though, I thought the Master...
Wax? No, never heard of that. Polish, yes, but I suspect there’s a difference between Wax and a Polish and maybe I’m splitting hairs.
I used GHS Instrument Polish many years ago. I didn’t use it...
I ordered one of the Seafoam cases and it should be here on Friday. I am really looking forward to it. I like Northfield products and have a Recurve case that I’m happy with.
There is a similarity...
With respect- I am curious, how many you’ve seen? Do you think it’s a concern with a properly installed strap button?
So using the Stra-O-Lin as the gauge, how old would you guess the photo is?
Right on Kevin! That’s a sweet sounding axe! I really like the looks too.

That’s really cool! Sting is the perfect name, cuts in a jam, has great chop and easy to wield.
I 100% agree.
I don’t know how it was then but, I would like to think people helped each other out where they could.
To the OP- I have a “new” box of Elixir Medium, Nanoweb. If those will work for you, they’re...
I suspect it’s relevant because, during WW2 most manufacturing was to support the war effort. Something called the War Production Board. I would venture to guess that would include the production of...

My favorite to play on mandolin is “Carol of the Bells”. There is the inner child though that loves to play Rudolph
Merry Christmas
I had what I consider an early one, had the old style tailpiece, Schaller Tuners, I don’t remember if it had the ribbon or a ring inlay. I think it was 124 or really close to it. It had the letter...
Dennis,
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers
What a great song! You were able to convey a message and emotion, that I was able to feel.
I have enjoyed all your videos, especially; Dear Abby.
Mandozine.com has it, click on Practice Tunes, then on the left click on Tab|edit, then in the search field type in Sultans of Swing
I have read that Bill Collings didn’t use EVO fret wire on his mandolins because he didn’t like the tone it produced. It was here on the ‘Cafe that I read it, I don’t care to put the effort into...
Mandozine.com has it.
Now if I could figure out the opening guitar to Money for Nothing, I’d be quite happy. I’ve been struggling with it for about 2 months.
Good luck

To the OP:
As a mandolin enthusiast for the last 20 years, I would answer “Yes” to your question. I have wondered the same thing recently. I also don’t recall there being so many available at one...
