Looks nice Gary! Is this a "hybrid" mandolin? X-braced?

Ry Cooder doing Brownsville Blues....

Beautiful! Torrefied top?

That tailpiece looks a little light for a ten string mandolin. It looks like it uses ball end strings? I don't think that is repairable.

Allen makes a cast ten string tailpiece that may or not...

Jamie, he is in CA.

Buy this...

Jill, that is so sad to hear. I have enjoyed your tunes on that wonderful Girouard mandolin since the beginning. I hope the surgery and rehab goes well. I am in the same boat as you as far as...

Nice job, what is that metal thing attached to the neck block? :confused:

To the Op, are you looking at low end or high end Kentuckys?

Never owned one but have played a couple. They can be nice mandolins.

When are you bringing it over Tom? :whistling:

:cool:

Happy Birthday Mandolin Cafe.

Absolutely, there is more finish to be removed IMO. With a little more effort and attention to detail the result could be quite nice.

Yea, thats pretty lame. No pride in the workmanship.

Very nicley played Jill!,
Is the next tune going to be " Worth two in the hand"? ;)

And Richie Havens.

Oh, and yes the black Mandolin Cafe hats are the best ever!

Hey Mike, I take it that this is not you playing tonight in St Augustine Beach FL?

If it is sounding muddy in CGDA you might want to tighten the head a bit. A 17 fret will only sound muddier tuned to OM tuning.

That looks nice. I looked at that and thought "where in the heck do you a ten string mandolin tailpiece?" A quick search came up with this...

I love...

Now that is nice, very nice. Would love to hear a sound clip.

I am in the same camp as you, I have my Girouard and one I built. Never named cars or instruments. My wife however names her cars and drones, go figure.
Perhaps when your girlfriend gets a mandolin...
