Adirondack with a one piece maple back.

Took a trip to Nashville yesterday and went to Carter Vintage. I just can’t say enough about how amazing that place is - especially the staff. Kim Sherman deserves a special shout out. I went home...

Anyone heard of Micawber mandolins out of Tennessee. they have a couple of intriguing Octaves, but I can't find anyone who has actually played them and compared them.

Their website is:...

I actually have one of his Octaves that is just beautiful. I have been thinking about selling it just because it doesn't get the use it deserves. He is a great guy to work with.

Good afternoon!

So, I think this is pretty exciting. I have been talking with Chris - the Co-owner of Synergy instruments in Canada. They make some pretty cool carbon fiber guitars and Ukuleles. I...

I owned a Silverangel El Toro - I only traded it to "upgrade" to my Collings. They are beautifully made and have a deep, resonate sound.

I’m two and a half hours south of Indy if you are still in need.

I have been having the best time working with Yair on a new Octave. His work is beautiful and from the videos - they sound great as well.

These are the two I am choosing between:...

Has anyone heard of these guys? This is a very interesting reinvention of the old Octofone that they will offer in an Octave Mandolin tuning.

I purchased my Northfield F5S a few months ago and absolutely love it - enjoy your new Mandolin. I have experimented with J74’s, elixir 80/20’s, D’addario XT’s and D’addario Nickel Bronze. I have...

Great question. They are "different." There is something very special about the terrified MT - from the beautiful Maple and finish to the smell and the notes seem to explode off the soundboard.

I have a Collings MT torrified and love it. I went Nashville to get an MF and walked out of Carter’s with a Northfield F5s instead, it just felt and sounded better and was way less expensive.

I have to stop taking trips to Nashville and trips to Carter’s - it is getting dangerous and expensive. Yesterday’s visit resulted in me taking home a brand new Northfield F5S. I was sitting up in...

If you haven’t bonded with the MFO, would you consider a sale or trade?

I live about 2 1/2 hours north of Nashville and travel down every so often - usually to drop someone off at the airport. After today’s airport run I scheduled a stop at Carter’s. I’ve been a couple...

Started on piano when I was five. Picked up the guitar at 40 and the mandolin at 50. Guitar has been my primary for a while and is the most versatile for worship and group playing, but I think I...

Try Devon MacRae at http://www.macraeguitars.com/ or on Facebook. I checked with them about a year ago on a very reasonably priced Mandolinetto.

That armrest should be a beautiful addition. The tone of your new SA is awesome.

Not anymore....in my hands now and it is beautiful!!

My Silverangel El Toro arrived today as well. What beautiful craftsmanship and tone. I can’t get over the sustain and volume of this Mandolin.
