Hey JCLondonUK, do you maybe have a soundclip or something? I already saw the paul hathway site and noted it on my list. I found some other builders to, but must admit that paul's prices are very...

I was looking at the Freshwater mandocello's. They seem interesting for that price! But I see they have a rather thin string gauge: .016 .032 .040 .058 and they normally tune them F C G D. I would...

Thanks for the information.

I've made up my mind. Since the first time I saw a mandocello, I fell in love with it. So I decided to save a bit longer to eventually get myself a decent mandocello....

Hi Portel,

I see you followed my advice to come to the mandolincafe!
Be warned, you will be infected with MAS here, a lot!!!

Hi,

I'm an addict of string instruments and now I would like to ad a mandola or an octave mandolin to my collection (most of all I would like a mandocello but that's to expensive at the moment).

Hi,
I'm from Belgium, and in Belgium I haven't found a store that has mandolins (occasionally 1 or 2)
But in Holland you have CasaBennely en they have at least Eastman and Kentucky mandolins....

My first mandolin is the one on the right. It's a Stagg, my girlfriend gave it to me as a present. I didn't even knew that it was a mandolin! Since that day I fell in love with the mandolin, and now...

Not mine, but someone on a dutch guitar message board bought an instrument that looks like a bouzouki but I guess it's not a bouzouki.
Notice the 'extra' frets between the first and second fret and...

Today it seems like I can't play mandolin at all. Even tunes I play almost everyday I mess up.
It's so frustrating!
When I have such a day I always start to wander if I have a bad technic or maybe...
