At a certain level it becomes hard to rank. I mean, they're all great in different ways. Like, who was better Rembrandt, Monet or VanGough. Really comes down to a matter of taste. Anyway, I like all...

Some of the bluesiest mandolin ever played was featured on the album "The Legendary Kentucky Mandolin of Nolan Faulkner" on Old Homestead Records.
Here are some tracks:

It's a fantastic album!
I spent a week at a camp where David Harvey was an instructor. Talking with him throughout the week I came away thinking wow, there's no one who knows more about Gibson mandolins than this guy. When...
Hah! That would be the day. Re-profiling might be a bit of an overstatement. I like the U-shaped profile as shown below. Northfield's have what they call a rounded V. I found there was a slight...
I'm not much of a woodworker kind of guy. The only power tools I've owned are a drill & a small circular saw. But I acquired a Northfield with some of the finish on the neck worn off. The previous...
I love that album. One of my favs.
Congrats. Sounds like things worked out perfectly. And I agree with several others - you absolutely did the right thing by letting the vendor know. In this day & age it's always good to see someone...
Yeah, talk about your "bait & switch".:grin:
I don't know if this is a non-starter for you or not but, if the store does financing, you may want to keep it & just finance the remainder of the cost. The rates, from what I've seen, are pretty...
1969. At one point in the interview he mentions the lack of a bass player & that Tony overdubbed the bass on an upright. I keep trying to picture that in my mind but I can't quite get there.

That's what I wound up doing. A full turn got rid of the buzzing but it felt a bit high for playing so I lowered it by a quarter turn & now everything is fine, no buzzing but not hard to play....
Looks like between 2 & 3/32.
I just received a Northfield NF-S and need to raise the action a bit. How much do you have to turn the wheel, typically, to make a noticeable difference? Should I be thinking in terms of quarter...
If someone was to comb those old variety shows they would probably unearth lots of interesting stuff. Those shows were on five days a week & they had a ton of content to fill.
Starting to see more & more mandolins featuring wide nuts. Is this a thing? Are mandolin players starting to gravitate towards a wider fretboard?
I chose "mandoman.com" as an email address. Thought I it was a good choice until people started saying they thought it was "man-do-man". Needless to say, that account didn't last long.
Well put. I agree.

I wasn't sure what I thought about this at first. On one hand, sure, you could say there's too many notes, it's too flashy, too far from the melody and...

Nice. What kind of mandolin is that? Sounds great.
That's how I heard it as well.
Cool. You can hear Roland using some of his brother's techniques on guitar.
The Muth two-point turned six months this week & I'm really starting to hear it changing, almost on a daily basis. I've been told that 6-12 months is the period where one can expect to hear the...
