    Re: Perry Jones mandolin stand

    Really inventive design, and outstanding craftsmanship. Works great for Mandolas, and fiddles as well. Might be able to use it around the house, or out in the garden, not sure what the limitations...

    Re: Tone guard for Mandola

    [QUOTE=Pittsburgh Bill;1898443]Does anyone know if a tone guard is made that will fit my Weber A Style mandola?
    I think my mandola projects more when I consciously do not rest it against my body.

    Re: Fitting a Cumberland full contact bridge.

    I installed one of these on my old Nugg A and it did seem to improve the sound somewhat (a little more punch and volume). I used the sandpaper that came with it and used a jig, following the...

    Re: Bone blank for saddle on an OM?

    Jerry Rosa of Rosa Stringworks makes nice antler mandolin saddles perhaps he’d be willing to make one for your OM.

    Re: McClung Armrest

    NFI here; I had Perry Jones (from a classified ad here) make armrests for my ‘78Nugget A, Weber Bitterroot Mandola, and ‘15 Ellis F. All have different color finishes. He matched the colors from...

    Re: Tacoma Mandolins

    I have a really beat up M2 which I use for canoeing and camping. It’s all solid and it has very nice action/comfortable neck. It sounds a little different from any other mandolin I’ve owned, can’t...

    Re: Em200

    Have you tried adjusting the pole under the e strings? I recall that making a difference. I backed the pole under the e strings so that they were closer to the strings.

    Hi emando visionaries,

    Re: St. Louis - Who's Here?

    The St Louis Sound exhibit at the MO History Museum is pretty cool, and it’s free. I’m back in town Sunday if you are still in town and want to play a few tunes.

    Re: Who makes a good Fiddle/Mandolin case?

    I mentioned previously that my bobelock works for my A model and my F2. I should add that my F2 is a 3 pt, which is really hard to find a decent case for. The Bobelock accommodates it easily, fits...

    Re: New case for a F2?

    That Golden Gate case looks nice. I keep my F2 3pt. in a Hiscox case. Plenty of room even with a tone guard attached. They are very solid cases if a little bulky.

    Re: About new fretboard for old Gibson A jr.

    I had a new fretboard put on my 09 F2 and it wasn’t too painful. Granted it was a flat board and it was a while ago but it was around $500 or so. The gentleman who did the work is retired now but...

    I have a Digitech RP250 which I assume is fairly similar to your RP200. I like it even though I’m sure the newer ones are better. I play an EM200 through the 250 into a Peavy Classic 20 and I’m not...

    I have an older Dobro type resonator that I had made into a cutaway because that dobro shape makes it difficult to play up past the 10th fret. It’s now a much more functional instrument and has a...

    Re: Stiver F vs Gibson F2?

    I understand your dilemma. My main player is a Nugget A, but I also gotta have an oval, so I have a pretty beat up F2 for that. Im a big fan of Stiver mandolins, even though I've only played few. I...

    There's rarely any mention of a Microvox setup, I'm not sure why. A lot of violinists use them and I have never had an issue with them. They are a lot less bulky than some of the set ups discussed...
