I'll check and see if they can measure the back. Thank you for that bit of information, did not think about that.

Thank you for the information. I gave that to my brother and he was saying the store is only 15 minutes from his house so he will take it there.
As we are cleaning out my parents' house getting it ready for sale, we found either my father's or grandfather's violin in the attic. It does not look like there is any separation between the sides...
Bluett Brothers is in York, PA. I have not had work done with him, but he does build violins and mandolins so he should be able to help you out.
Well played, sir, well played. Tone of the mandolin sounds great and a good improvement (from what I recall from your previous videos). I liked the tempo how you played the tune.
Again, well...
Well done, Mark
True, maybe I would be the forums sasquatch. Every so often an appearance is sighted, lol.
Congrats on the milestone, JB. As you can see I think I may actually be the official MandolinCafe lurker averaging 11 posts per year. I think in a few week I may get to post 210.
Looks great
I had a Michael Kelly Firefly flame that I called firefly. I have a Weber Gallatin I call Web and a Collings MTO I call Collings. I know, I am very creative with my names.
I have Lakota straps on two of my mandolins. It seems for me, there is an initial stretch when I first play it, but after 15-20 minutes (if I am standing) it seem to fully stretch out. I have not...
Looks great, Brad. Thank you for sharing.
For the past 15 years, I have used snub nosed wire cutters from various manufacturers. Unfortunately, it has been variou because TSA has taken the wire cutters when I traveled so when I reach my...
I believe I bought my first from either Tony or Elderly back in 2005 (going back too many years to remember). I bought my second one this year directly from Tony (or his website).
Sounds great. Congrats on the new acquisition.
Zach, you are pretty mush spot on with that assessment. I bought my first mandolin in 2004 and by the end of the year had a tonegard on it. It may be I am used to it being there. However, again,...
I have one on each of my mandolins. I like them. And like jcondino said, if I got rid of the muffintop (although I would consider myself in the early second trimester, lol), I may not need one, but...
Jim, thank you for posting that. Beautiful song.
I did a pasta dish with artichokes and bacon last week. It was a "empty cupboard" dinner. Turned out pretty good. I like to fry artichokes in a cast iron skillet.
It's always good to hear when people find their forever mandolin. I have looked at Stiver mandolins, just have not pulled the trigger....yet. Glad to hear you enjoy your new mandolin. Thank you...
well done soliver
As a geologist, it is no surprise that when I travel for work, I bring back rock samples for the collection. I was flying through Frankfurt, Germay airport. I had a piece of galena (btw, galena is...
I am not sure if my mandolins are opening up, but I realized that if I don't play one for a while and then come back to it, I hear mostly just the fundamental tones. As I play it more I begin to...
Sunburst, thank you for that explanation. I did not take into account the harmonics with the clip on tuners. thank you for passing along the information.
I rarely post on the forum (see my join date and total number of posts). I recall seeing some of Br1ck's posts and did not see anything wrong with his, but I may have missed the ones he was an...
