Hey all. I was browsing FB marketplace and came across a maroon Pegasus mandolin case for $60 with a suspicious description. I messaged the guy and he definitely isn't a player. I fear that there's a...

I know this ain't no part of nothin', but I love Stranger Things and its opening theme. And aren't you supposed to play songs you love?

I'm sitting here during the intermission of a Chris Thile/Bela Fleck show, and this wonderful bit of wittiness just transpired:
-----
Thile: *drops water bottle cap.*
Fleck: "Just put that...
My fingerprint smudged KM-300. I got lucky and got a hold of one of the earlier ones with the tune-o-matic bridge. I'm also keeping my eye out for a good deal on a KM-150/60. I love those things!

You know, folks around home call me trashcan sometimes. ;)
Thanks all for the insightful input! I've got plenty of time to kill, so I might just give it a whirl. ;) I hadn't much considered doing the same with the saddle, but that is something I'm definitely...
Call me crazy, but I've got an idea! I've been thinking about this for quite some time, and wanted to see what you guys and gals had to say about it.
I was speaking to Bobby Osborne a few years...
Thanks to all for your advice/input. I am definitely going to take all of your suggestions into consideration. I am currently on day 3 of a 3 day hiatus from playing any musical instruments. I am...
I've got a little bit of a question/concern here.
First, let me explain a little bit of my situation here. I'm a 16 year old mandolin player and I am extremely careful with my fingers. I don't...
I got the opportunity to play a couple of these mandolins and meet Mr. Sorensen at IBMA this year. I have to say, I was very impressed with the tone and build of these instruments! Obviously they...
Huh, I've never heard about that! How did the Loars end up there?
I agree with you on this one, vhughes. You can clearly see on the page in question that at least part of the information has been copied off of somebody's eBay listing. And yet other pages have the...
I attempted to send them an email via their contact form on their website, which seems to be the only way to contact them about any of their listings, and it seems to be down. So, I decided I'd do a...
Wow I'm slow... I just got your 90's pun, greg_tsam. Would it help to say I didn't get in until now because I was born in the 90's? :confused:
I do believe Larry Sparks had a mandolin player that played this was, and he was a heck of a mandolin player.
I'm with Nicole on Swing 220 (which I'm listening to right now) and Back to Back. They are both very good albums. Another one I love, although not that much Django content, is Swing Low Sweet...
After cutting it into a strip, kinda like a string, I fish it in between the individual courses (e.g. G*G D*D etc. The * being replaced with the hair band.) As far as finding one goes, as foldedpath...
Wow. I bet that was a pain! But man, it looks great!
Thank you much for telling me about this bridge! This is definitely the one I'll go with. I really like the looks of the ones form...
I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but I've been looking at amps for emando, and I've found the Fender Frontman 25R. I've not tried one myself, but from all the reviews and such, it seems...
I've personally found that a hair band, cut into a single strip, works really well for this purpose. I like them because you can slide them under the edge of you tailpiece cover, and nobody will ever...
I've been looking around at amps in the $100ish range, and I happened upon the Fender Frontman 25R. Have any of y'all tried this one out? From the videos/reviews, it seems like a decent amp for the...
Here's my version of my favorite tune.

Thank you all so much for the tips/suggestions!! If and when I get this kit, I am definitely going to refer back to this thread.
I looked at that bridge, and that looks like a much better...
I have my mind set on getting the Saga emando kit, and was wondering if any of y'all that have already built it have any tips, suggestions, regrets, etc. about assembly? Also, have any of you tried...
'Tis true. I just found it humorous, and thought others might also, that there was some form of stock, weather it be publicly traded or not, for Sam Bush. I also didn't think about that when I wrote...
