  2. Re: Tuning mandola or octave mandolin with 2nd course an octave h

    Is your higher G a wound string then? What gauges do you use?
  3. Re: Trying to get more info on this Washburn M-1S-N

    I don't know specifically about your mandolin but here's a price list from 1978. It doesn't show a 1 series but I'd infer that a lower entry level model must have been added.

    If you're thinking luthier built I'd suggest Tom (TJ) Jessen. I think his builds are the essence of deep, dark resonance. Maybe it has something to do with the redwood tops? Prices are very...

    Re: Octave pairings?

    Secondary question. All octave mandolin string sets I find are phosphor bronze. If I want to try something different should I just look form guitar strings in the gauges I want?

    Well, what do I know? When I read that I thought there must be some difference. Maybe she just likes a heavier gauge than is available as octave sets?

    Re: TOH Weber warranty

    Just went to the TOH website & I'm not sure it says older warranties won't be honored. It just says the warranty as written on their website applies to instruments built after 1/1/13.
