    Right hand advice

    I'm sure this has been addressed many times on here, but please excuse starting another conversation. I've been beating on mandolins for around 20 years, I can play pretty well but I feel my right...

    I have an '89 Flatiron Performer A, it has the integrated fret board and tone bar braced. Really a great sounding mandolin.

    Re: Sweating on the back

    You could possibly protect the finish using the clear cling-on type pick guard material.
  8. Re: Stringjoy Foxwood mandolin strings first impressions.

    That is concerning, I'll report back any feedback I get.

    (update) I received an email apologizing for the "short" string sets and they are going to send me the 6 missing strings.
  9. Re: Stringjoy Foxwood mandolin strings first impressions.

    I ordered 3 sets of Stringjoy strings. They came today, unfortunately all three sets had but one A and one E string in the per set. I was able to put a full set together from the 3 sets, they sound...

    Re: Kentucky KM-900- Great price!

    I had one of the few varnish models and regrettably sold it, if I didn't just buy an old Flatiron Performer A I'd be all over that one.

    Re: Gibson F5C MM

    A lot of the reflections in the finish lead me to believe it has a varnish finish. Lovely mandolin regardless.

    No doubt, I've been watching the "modern" Gibson market ( 1999-2023) for the last year, there are very few F5 mandolins available. Either people are holding what they have of "investors" are buying...

    Re: Picking the right mandolin

    That's a great mandolin for a good price. You'll never have a problem being heard as the 515V has plenty of volume and solid chop, it should take you far. Congrats!
