    Re: Loar forgery / fake Serial # 80263

    Scott,

    Do you have any information on whether or not Stuart Smith is the original seller--from the eBay listings? IOW, is he the person behind this whole thing? The reason I ask is that...

    Re: My Gibson Master Model Story

    Adam Steffey's mandolin

    Sometime during the middle of night recently I was listening to WAMU--a bluegrass station that I get over the internet. I tuned in during set of several instrumentals. During one of them my ears...

    Re: Top 10 Mandolin Apps for IPAD?

    I don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm wondering which of these apps, or similar ones are available for Android and/or PC's?

    Amazing. How did you come across it? I flagged it as "Prohibited," and if enough people do CL will remove it. Otherwise I don't know of any way to have them pull the ad. I don't imagine...

    Re: My Gibson Master Model Story

    From a newbie's perspective, this thread is a little disturbing. The notion that a good setup is THE most important thing in bringing out the best in a mandolin is probably single most repeated...

    Thanks for the tip, Jim. That handles that part of it. I'm going to experiment with getting my desktop login to match the mobile (Stephen Porter vs. Porschefan). If that works I'll avoid having...
  13. Re: Here you go boys...... just what you have dreamed always abou

    The mandolin is certainly a fake, and I don't have any idea of what it might actually be worth, but in the two videos unearthed it sure has a very distinctive sound. I really like it.

    How did...

    Stev-O,

    Are you running 4.3? Probably, since Google keeps these things first in line for new releases.

  20. Re: Here you go boys...... just what you have dreamed always abou

    Jim,

    I think that's the original listing. It got relisted HERE and current bid is $9,225 (!).
