What is an average maximum thickness for a teardrop (A model) back made from maple please? Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for your help Rob. I appreciate it.

Would it be OK to use a 2 way truss rod for a mandola neck?
Does the nut have to go to the bottom of the slot?

No number, just a Gibson Kalamazoo label

Is this approximately from the 1920s ?
Thanks for your help.

Nice job on this old fiddle tune! I like it.

It’s purdy exciting that you’re finishing up. I used Zinnser sealer for my first build. It worked purdy good. I rubbed about 14 coats of Tru-oil over that and it still looks good.
Whatever YOU...

Thanks Scott.

I’m sorry, I can’t read music. I learned it by ear. I slowed down some YouTube videos
and played them over and over until the tunewas pounded into my head.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks...

I’m wondering if they would resist the torque better if the wood grains were perpendicular to the metal shaft?

I tried fading this tune out at the end but that didn’t work too well.
That’s why I don’t work for Ken Burns.....

What is the fingerboard wood please?

Thanks for your kind comment John. I appreciate it!

Many thanks to all of you who left comments and said “thanks”.
I appreciate it!

Have you tried lowering the playback speed of the YouTube video? This makes it much easier to learn by ear.

Many thanks for your kind comment Griz!

I hope you enjoy these tunes!

How and why do gold stars appear on some posts? Thanks for your consideration.

Many thanks for this information Sir. I appreciate it. I’m sorry for the loss of your buddy.

Many thanks Hank! Sorry I misspelled “Buggy-O”.

If one person plays Dull Chisel and another person plays Horse and Buggy-O, the mixture sounds purdy good!
