Don't play one example of a mandolin and judge the whole lot by that. The local GC has a Gibson The best mandolin I have ever touched. Next door is a SA store they have the same model and it is the...

If you want it to sound exactly like the Zack Brown band you better get a keyboard, that's not a mandolin it's faked with by the keyboard player.

Arrived on November 8, very impressed with it except the bridge looks like the leaning tower of Pisa with a crook in the middle. not even close to being level with the top. The thumb screws are bent,...

OK mandolin was shipped from Folkmusician.com last night should be her by Tuesday. :)

Ordered a new The Loar LM520 from Folkmusicians.com using the link from this page. Now just waiting for it to arrive. As I am strapped for disposable cash didn't get the setup just hoping they pick a...

My wife made the comment that the young lady never smiled the whole day. I'm sure she was a little nervous, but she can play the mandolin very well.

Well the competitors were hand picked as the best 6 players in Virginia. The top 3 were very impressive in my oppinion. While listening My wife asked who I thought would win and I did pick the winner...

Richmond folk festival is going on this weekend in the bottom. There is a mandolin contest Saturday from 1:00 - 2:00. Anyone planing to go ?

Now have an old Kay that I glued back together just to play around the house. I think in the near future I can get together 500-600 dollars for a new mandolin. Really want to go with a "F" style....
