FWIW, I have all my case covers made for me at Mooradian:

I called him just now to make sure, and they do have a number of patterns for Mandolin. You send...

Correct; I have a few of these on my page at

http://beststudentviolins.com/guitars.html#mandolins

I have 380S mentioned by the poster, above, among others, AND a link to the SAGA page, as well....

I think so, too.

This question probably belongs somewhere else, but when you pluck a string, does it result in a double sound? Or when you use the pick, do you pluck both strings, or one?

Wow.

Yeah, I do want to play this music. Despite my classical training, when I listen to this music, it just wrings my heart out. I'm from Oklahoma, native american, and my grandfather was a banjo...

Thanks for the book link; I'll get it.

That's what the program at South Plains is like, I suspect. Lots of working with other musicians. I'm used to working with musicians, but this will be an...

Well, I guess my decision -- since the difference in sound is not established, it seems -- is to get an A model, since I like the look more. And I want a black one with oval sound holes. The cheapest...

Technical points aside, I think the very biggest change, for me, is the change from "reading only" type of playing to whatever-it-is you guys do to play in bands. This fascinates me.

You know, I...

Bah! Play! Play every fiddle tune you know!
It's doubtful you'll do any more harm, at least no more than any one teacher can do, and you'll be that much more familiar and comfortable with the...

Listening to the recordings at http://www.mandolincafe.com/mp3/

They all seem very virtuosic to me. The parts with fiddle, I can see myself doing that, but mando is going to take lots of lessons...

I would love to feature mandos from other companies if I could find a distributor besides SAGA. Do you know of one? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

So when you put the fingertip down it touches both strings?

What's "chopping"?

Dear List:

I'm so happy about starting mandolin. I play the violin/fiddle, and I understand mando is tuned the same, which means the fingerboard will be I guess the same, but what about the double...

oh, that's VERY nice, thank you!

I'm totally new at this and so excited. Who, in your view, is generally thought to be the best players? who are the most famous players, etc?

Thank you to all of you for your input and responses; I appreciate it so much! I changed all the prices on the page this morning.

There is a "Contact" link at both the top and the bottom of the...

No, you guys were right. I didn't know what you meant at first. But I fixed it; I added the links. I guess they got taken off because I just gave up. But I'll go in there Tuesday and pare all the...

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but this page, http://beststudentviolins.com/guitars.html#mandolins does not appear to be linked to your homepage? I had to do a google search of "best student violins...

The scroll down menu 'Store' just reloads the homepage, the only links across the top are: Sheetmusic | Advanced Literature | Scores, no mention of guitars or mandolins, although I see that these...

Even with the free shipping?

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but this page, http://beststudentviolins.com/guitars.html#mandolins does not appear to be linked to your homepage? I had to do a google search of "best student violins...

I'll try to restrain myself. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif However, I do wonder, if I get one of those cheapies from SAGA, to start, would it be smart to (1) have...

Hi: Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. I did a search on Amazon in the MP3 section, under "mandolin" and the following came up:

http://www.amazon.com/s....x=0&y=0

Can anyone...

I did do a search on here and didn't see any headers which indicated that the discussion was specifically about the differences between the "A" and "F" models. But I do want to know what the...

Is the shape of the back an issue? Even if the face (top) of the instruments are identical.

Dear list:

I'm starting a music program in the Fall, and I'm going to be studying mandolin, among other things. I'm a violin/viola/fiddle player and was going to buy this case, along with a mando...

I use the following setup; it works reliably, and it's cost effective. #See:
