I had some great work done at the Folk Music Center in Clairmont. Very professionally done bridge installation and fretwork. I was quite pleased.

This is quite funny, Keith! Thanks for the laugh because I can relate. Thought I was the only one. :))
I agree. It must be tunable and playable. Those I named are, and I witnessed this great mandolin player in the above video demonstrating that fact. These are reliable suggestions.
I jumped in and signed up right away. It's a lot of fun and motivation to improve. There is a song of the month challenge and a lot of encouragement available, both to give and receive. Baron is a...
The Kentucky KM-150 is excellent, and the Eastman MD305 is right with it. Go for used. A good budget mandolin as seen in the above video, which I watched live when David recorded it, is the...
Hello Frankdolin, Thanks for the encouraging words about the tailpiece. They are a very nicely constructed and appearing version. Love the way it flips open! Glad you think it is doable.
I am thrilled to hear that it is likely a direct fit. I will do some measuring and comparison. Then it is likely I will have to search for an experienced luthier in my region. Thanks again to you...
Hi Charles, Thanks so much for the response. I am glad you feel they are decent tuners. Yes, I must say they serve the function well. I likely would appreciate a brighter look, as you stated. I...
Hi Charley! Yes, I should have started it here, in equipment. Thank you. I would certainly appreciate the moderators' time and trouble to do so, if they deem it necessary. These aren't the...
I have a 2014 BRW F5 with Golden Age relic nickel machines. Also, it has a Golden Age unstamped relic tailpiece. I would value your expert advice regarding a similar value set of tuners, possibly...

Wasn’t planning on it, but, hmmm….
I am at an age where I can’t play all the instruments I have collected. I have sold a number of them and given each of my three sons various Martins, Nationals and others. It gives me happiness. ...
In my exposure to these Eastman models: The MD815 is brown in the classic finish. The MD815V varnished is more of a burgundy, to my eye.
Zack, This is a great-looking and sounding Morris A4! I agree that Sonny's mandolins are very nice as I have played them, extensively. A great guy to deal with, also. I love the finish, the blue...
Merry Christmas, Eric! Very nice new mando. I know it will bring a lot of enjoyment!
I really like the Northfield’s and also a used Weber Yellowstone would be a great one in the under $4,000 range.
Can’t beat the the LR Baggs DI box.
I agree. The middle one is not a Wegen.
Danidog, That is a great story to read! I am glad you found your path back to music and especially the mandolin. I too am 68, and fight the effects of aging, but it is a great way to stay active and...
I have one and gave one to one of my sons. They are both in the early teens-- A1 models. The tone is rich and round. I wouldn't play mandolin today if they hadn't been passed down through my wife's...
I would think a T-shirt under your button up shirt would absorb the moisture. Just two layers, as light weight as possible. Also, (just between you and I) “Lume” deodorant keeps you dry. I have used...
I agree that Howard Morris makes a great mandolin for an amazing price. He told me a few years ago that he had stopped building F5's, however.
"This might be worth a phone call - not in the classifieds, but probably a reasonable price, and it includes a case.
Used Kentucky KM-950 (A-style) on Reverb
You would need to understand return...
Daryl, You did a very nice job contrasting the two F5G versions. I think you explained the advantages of each and this will help those seeking an F5G to know what they are looking at and why. I...
