I don't but he does:

I haven't played any mandolins worth more than 10k. I've played most of the usual suspects in that 4-7k range and haven't found anything that beats my Girouard A5 Concert.
Looking back, there was...
I think Reunion Blues, Mono, Gator Icon, etc are really a different animal than a gig bag. Great drop protection. Maybe a little less crush protection. I've carried some good gear in a Reunion...
I have this case for an octave mandolin:

If the dimensions fit (It's probably a little long but that shouldn't matter as long as the...
Beautiful Frank! That A5 Special sure sounds nice on the double stops. Very rich.
That might be an idea. I would only want the bottom string capoed.
The pin point capos do work just fine. I've played an instrument with them. I just don't know if you would need to get a whole...
Would it be possible/feasible to add something like this:

to an already finished instrument?
I love the mandola I have but it would...
Hot cars are trouble, I wouldn't leave it in a car in the summer. 20 degrees, in a case, wrapped in a blanket with a few hours to acclimate before removing it from the case? I would be fine with...
Nice work! Just bought it :)
I was going to take a just quick glance at the video and then.....it's 40 minutes later.
Good way to spend 40 minutes. Thanks Daryl!
I really like the look of the darker shade. This could be a great first mandolin or a cost effective way to add a different sound to your collection.
Hope to hear it in action soon.
This human converts all kinds of guitars to octave mandolins. This one is a 23 inch scale so you're in octave mandolin scale territory. Fits your price:...
My favorite back is on my Girouard Oval. Love the look of quilted maple!

I've had two wide nut mandolins and both were uncomfortable for my left thumb. I don't know if it was the wide nut or just coincidence but it's enough evidence for me to stick with a standard nut...
Mainstage will do specialty cases. You'll be over 1k but if the new OM is your lifer and if you travel a lot, maybe its worth it!

I commissioned Massimo Barbi to make a mandola similar to his flat top mandolin. His mandolins already have a bit larger body and you could probably talk scale length...
I think the best upgrade to a 315 is a new mandolin.
I can think of two good reasons to upgrade it:
-If you see it as a lifelong mandolin then I would get a James Tailpiece. It probably won't...
It's kind of a generalization but I think of the Eastman octave as a big mandolin and the Gold tone octave as a little Irish bouzouki.
Merry Christmas friends!

Looks nice, Eric! Breedlove uses a lot of myrtle for their guitars. Is it as loud as the Brentrup?
I'm interested in these:

23 inch scale. Pretty affordable. Will be...
That happened to me several times, all with Fed Ex. Hope it comes today!
It's a good looking mandolin in my opinion. Not traditional but obviously you aren't going for the traditional crowd with a walnut back and sides and unique violin inspired look. I think it looks...
