    Re: Eastman mandocello tailpiece blues

    I scrambled to check mine, seems I have the one piece version, should be more reliable. However, that Weber tailpiece looks swell to me!

    Oh, and the tailpiece I have on mine will accommodate...

    Re: Where are the Eastman OMs?

    Just a few months ago I was interested in a mandocello. I saw that Eastman makes one with all solid woods and other good things. I inquired and found out that Eastman has just, on that day, gotten...

    Re: Incoming Aspen oval hole

    Yeah, nice mandolins. I don't look quite so beastly (or angry) anymore, but from the Weber website: me and my aspen https://webermandolins.com/mandolin-artists/clark-savage-turner

    Re: What are the chances?

    The reason I play mandolin (or any instrument) is that there was a Weyman mandolin banjo in the closet when I was a kid and I got curious. No one knew anything about it, it belonged to my father's...

    Re: Mandocello: Where to start?

    Just a quick note: I just got my Eastman 804 (oval hole mandocello, I like them that way) for significantly less than $2K, even including tax and shipping here in my state. If you shop around and...

    Re: Gold Tone GM-100 Rigel

    Funny thing, I've changed my own attitude towards "copies" that tout another name...... I have become, in the last 20 years, a Martin guitar addict :-) and am so very impressed by their quality. I...

    Re: Gold Tone GM-100 Rigel

    Agree with Allen. I got the Octajo from Gold Tone. It needed some setting up and care in getting things all the way I like them, but it is now a fine instrument, plays well, sounds good, and I...

    Re: capo, capo no

    This is a fun and interesting discussion. My solution has been (and I am a rank mediocre player anyway.....) to look at the first four fret positions of the guitar being played, turn them upside...

    Re: Gold Tone Octajo

    Yes, Gold Tone does have that Bass .... looks a little out of my league :-) They do make a lot of neat stuff.

    I did have to work on this Octajo a little to get it right. But once I did a little...

    Re: Gold Tone Octajo

    Well, the Octajo arrived and I set it up for playing. It is a cool instrument. Decent sound, a blast to play "banjo" with this octave mandolin fretboard. Can't wait to storm some open mike night...
  12. Re: New Eastman 804 (oval hole) mandocello - strings?

    Of course, I expect to set up the instrument, leaving it a bit high at each end is the right thing to do. I suppose I was just surprised by how high it was, I've not seen that before. It is...
  13. Re: rather nice mandola back from the spray shop

    Darn, Wes. I am sorry to hear that. But you do seem to have some nice instruments to play there. If there is anything I can do, somehow, from here in California, don't hesitate to ask.

    Gold Tone Octajo

    I just bought a Gold Tone Octajo, 21 some inch scale Octave Mandolin with banjo head. It just looks too interesting not to try out. I am having such a blast with my Eastman Mandocello, I figure...
  15. Re: New Eastman 804 (oval hole) mandocello - strings?

    i went and got a couple sets of the D'Addario EJ78's. I will probably want to work the nut slots a bit, the depth is far too high anyway. Don't know if that is true for you other Eastman owners,...
  16. Eastman 804 tailpiece, endpin installation?

    I have my new Eastman 804 mandocello and it is kicking my butt - in a good way. It is challenging to play and I am learning a ton, and my pinky is now in service (I've not needed it much up to this...
  17. New Eastman 804 (oval hole) mandocello - strings?

    I just picked up the Eastman 804 and it is a decent instrument. Well made, the finish is thicker than Martin does on their guitars, but the sound is right there. I like this thing. I do need a new...

    Re: Help ID old mando

    Thanks for that, Allen. The top is sunk where the neck meets the body but there is still sufficient angle for playability. The sound is perfectly fine. I'll probably put in another little brace to...

    Help ID old mando

    Came onto this one as a gift. In rough shape, but will play if I shim the bridge a bit. Fair sound. "Caving" of the neck (diving under the top, you can see...), lots of cosmetic rough stuff, but...

    Conquer the "F" in first position

    I think you have it right. And so far, the medical care seems OK. So much for my common sense, eh?
