    Re: here's a wild one

    Like my last hot date (Which ended up at the emergency room), the trapeze looks, uh, misaligned. I'd still like to try it. (That's what she said).

    Re: Anyone play a celloblaster?

    I've got one for sale, if you're interested... Lots of fun, but I rarely play it.
  4. Re: New Evans Pull String Fender Mando Strat - pics

    It's just me, and I am old and cranky, but I have two questions:
    1. Does it stay in tune after bending a note up a couple of half-steps?; and
    2. Does it break strings after trying to bend a note...

    Re: Good Mandolin for Beginner/Intermediate

    Hello and welcome!

    Where do you live? Lots of places in the U.S. don't have much mandolin selection to speak of within an hour (or two) drive. If you don't travel a lot, you'll have to buy sight...

    Re: Tiny Moore's Gibson

    Just read the wonderful article you linked to, and came back to correct my post, and you beat me to it. Yes, the EM125 is a mystery.

    Re: Too good to be true!

    Is Rono building new emandos again? After all the unpleasantness? Or are these new old stock? I agree with Martin's take on this and applaud the way he handled it.

    Re: Help with identifing a Mandolin

    Examples of his work currently on ebay


    My guess is that it was made by Antonio Tsai (if that is his real name), a builder from Vietnam who likes to use a lot of inlay. I have no idea of value. ...

    I can't remember! I wrote the seller and asked for the letter, if he has it. My emando is NOT marked "Tiny Moore", but you can sort of tell they are the same...

    Here (hopefully) is a picture of the Roberts Emando #1019 referenced in the letter attached to the auction. I bought this prototype from Glen 5-7 years ago. Notice the unusual "dogbone" bridge. ...

    Re: 1906 Gibson Mandola screaming for help

    +1 for photos of in-progress restoration. At the very least, post some before and after pix so the rest of us can admire Joe's work.

    Wow. ##### is a disallowed word. How can we discuss reproductive ethics in a meaningful way? Is 'spunk' disallowed? If not, substitute 'spunk' in the above post.

    Re: More ebay emandos

    I must confess that when I saw what that Kent 836 went for I pulled mine out and thought about putting it up on The 'Bay. Then I thought how deep can the demand be? Now I wonder what the 2nd one up...

    You replied so fast that I was editing more stuff into the original post. Lay off the coffee late in the day. <joke>
  24. Re: what do you think would be the best case ever.

    +1 For a rectangular case. All those other cases look real purty and expensive. If you have just one mandolin, you'll be lucky just to find a case that sort of fits and you can customize (hack at...
