As Tara said above, it is not a high end mandolin, but I love mine and think that it was a great value for the money. The one that I own has reasonable tone and plays very easily. If you click on...

Visually - if I had to pick one, I would probably go with Jethro Burns' A-5 . . . every time I see it, I want it.
As 'players' go - I once got to play Joe Val's Loar . . . wow!
I know that I should never be surprised when knuckleheads at GC make huge blunders on their internet listings - but I came across these two, just today.
Wow!
After 15 years on the standard f-hole bandwagon, I finally joined the Oval Hole Club about 5 or 6 years ago. I'm not enough of a player to substantiate the purchase of a mandolin anywhere in the...
Okay, I'll play . . . keeping in mind that the thread title says 'Favorite' - not 'Best'.

THANKS all for the feedback . . . most appreciated.
I am giving this some consideration - any thoughts, suggestions, comments, criticisms and/or opinions are appreciated.

Posting a picture of oneself playing mandolin is OK. Injecting political and religious issues and opinion into the conversation is not.

Normally, I would be THRILLED at the prospect of not having to go to work for a prolonged period of time (I am an intrinsically lazy person) - but right now I am very glad that I have an 'essential'...
In short - there are certain things that science can't explain.
When an untrained 5-year old hears an intricate piece of music for the first time, and then sits down at the piano and flawlessly...
David: Is it just the picture, or is there an unusual shape to that bass?
Obviously, I can't comment on a Yamaha mandolin, but I think Yamaha instruments don't get the proper respect that they deserve among many musicians. My personal experience has been that a pretty...
This sounds like the situation some years ago when a rock and roll star traded his 1959 Les Paul for a swimming pool.
I thank the Good Lord that my admittedly addictive personality has never spilled over into drugs or alcohol. I have the utmost respect for people like your friend who have managed to overcome their...
Keep up the good work!
Just for fun . . . a brand new original song:

Good grief, don't you think that's a bit overboard - we want social distancing, not social abandonment!
For Laughs:
- Just started watching old Bullwinkle and Bugs Bunny cartoons on YouTube; (that Daffy Duck is a great actor).
For Sanity:
- I am happy to report that after 6 months of writers...
Speaking from experience - just be careful that you maintain good humidity levels in the room . . . in just one evening, I nearly lost 4 top-notch instruments.
Isn't it spooky? I used to be pleasantly shocked when I went to a store and came across a nice musical instrument, or a rare vinyl album . . . now I'm stunned when I see toilet paper.
How about a video or a sound-clip on that Weber 2-point . . . it's a beauty!
I have seen family members fight over many stupid things in someone's estate, so I can only imagine fisticuffs breaking out over the leftover toilet paper in some poor dead soul's bathroom closet . ....
