Also want to say, tabs would be deeply appreciated.

Please don't laugh at me for this question. But what do the circles represent above the notes in such measures as 52, 76, and 100? Thank you in advance for the time.

I hear you! My E string (the upper one only) makes a sort of brassy sound, as if it was struck and you barely touched it with something hard. I can't seem to get anyone else to qualify that this even...

Yes, 'Debbie Gibson'. And my Eastman I call 'Tom Brady' since I paid for it with the $ he won me.

I'm with you, I love them but I've only noticed a richer, fuller tone with mine. Great addition to any mandolin though.

I love my main mandolin. (Gibson F5G Harvey w/Lou Stiver final touches). I mean, I really love it. But almost every day I find my self on here in the classifieds like a little kid finding his dad's...

Beautiful

i just received mine too. Thank you Rob! looks like a great reference tool. i'm looking forward to reading through it tonight.

I have a few, I prefer the CT55 and I really like the beveled edge too.

Wegen makes some nice bluegrass picks. I switch between my BC and Wegen all the time.

DataNick, well said. My 515 is super loud and very clear. But my Gibson F5-G offers a much richer sound as well as a pure tone.I have heard people who either love or hate the Eastman. Mine's a 2014,...

If I had to guess, I'd say 2006.

Eastman! But if I was you I'd save up a few more dollars and go with the Eastman515.

Geez, I hope it sounds better than it looks!

Side note: is Mike Blohm still making these keys? I'd love to get a set.

Looks great! How's it sound?

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a good recommendation for getting a set-up in Pittsburgh. My last set-up job was sub-par........

No brainer, I would take it in a heartbeat!! With this mando, I would have no use for my others and you never said I couldn't sell them, so $ and Loar = Wynning!!!

I have this one too. Absolutely love it!

If anyone wants a Chris Thile broken E string let me know. Only $2,000, and just as useful as the fretboard.

....... or drill small holes in the pick, like Wegen picks.

I'm a life long musician, and never in my life have I had this feeling (MAS). That is until I started playing mandolin in October 2014. I now have an Eastman 515, Kentucky 505, and a new Gibson F5G....

Looks almost like a nitro finish. Congratz though. It looks awesome!!!

Thanks, I'm going to try to check the frets tonight. Pete, yes 11-13 are buzzy too, but 12 is dead. I'm going to try the suggestions above and also raise the bridge .030 or so. See if maybe the...

Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me out with a pickle which I find myself currenty in. My A string sounds "dead" around the 12 fret. As I go down the fretboard the tone comes back and if I go up from...
