Just bought mine. Can't wait to dig into it.
Every time I pick up my mandolin the cat runs out of the room.
I am in the same boat as you. Playing mandolin for four years now and play in similar type of jam groups. To me it is all good and getting out and playing with others is always good. Bottom line is...
Thanks everyone. It was a fun weekend project to keep me busy.
I just finished up building this stand from branches I found in the woods. I thought it came out pretty good considering I don't have proper tools and don't know what I am doing.

As a Ridgefield native this is pretty cool. I haven't been to that brewery in while. Jay, does the Nod Hill Brewery still have the Friday night jam?
Thanks, that is a great plan of action. I'm not so worried about the fret boars, I kind of think the wear looks cool and as it said in the link should not impair play. I'm a little more concerned...
Looks like this Mandolin has been played a lot of the years.

Thanks for the advise everyone, I really appreciate it. I am just going to clean it up a bit and keep the original finish. I like the look of it as is. I'll get a new nut and bridge.
What I meant...
So I really do not know what I am doing so I have some basic questions.
1. What do I clean up the mando with? From what I read online just use a wet rag. Do not use furniture polish like some...
Thank you for the replies everyone
I don't have a mirror small enough to fit inside. We have small ones at work though so I will bring one home tomorrow. All the tuners turned with no problem....
I just picked this up at a flea market for $50. It looks to be in really good shape except the nut. I know they are not collector items. I bought it for two reasons. I thought it would be a good...
Yes, I signed up. I know Austin who is running it. Great guy, very enthusiastic and a really good fiddle player. Looking forward to seeing you there.

On my android phone I have the Bluegrass Planet Radio app. There are a couple of others too if you search for bluegrass on the app store.
Throw my name in the mix.
I am a huge advocate of jams too. Not only talking to people who are passionate about music but you learn new songs that where not on your radar. You tend to find people who play the same instrument...
I was tempted to buy this but then I read it was missing a string so I will pass :cool:
They are playing at the Westchester Bluegrass Club April 20th. Already have my ticket. Can't wait!
I just downloaded Old Timey Concert with Doc Watson, Clint Howard and Fred Prince. As the title suggest, they are playing some old time favorites.
Awesome, congratulations!
I take my good mandolin with me (good to me anyway) to festivals. I just carry it around with me instead of leaving it in the tent or car. Yeah it can be a bother at times or conversation starter...
I am another lefty playing righty. When I started playing guitar many years ago I set up my guitar to play left handed. My teacher made me play the guitar righty and now I play mandolin righty too. I...
Proud owner of a mandolin cafe hat and sticker. Anyone else with pictures of their cafe swag?
