I recently rediscovered an old Welsh hymn called "Llydaw" on a Laurie Riley Celtic harp CD. I would love to play it on the mando but cannot find any notation or tab. Suggestions most welcome! If I...

I have Butch Baldassari's beautiful Music of O'Carlan (sic) CD and am having trouble finding mandolin tab for two songs: Catherine Nowlan and Young William Plunkette Set. I did tab out the second...

This is my 2011 Norris A,, when it was brand new and after two years of finish mellowing. It has a wonderful, ringing sound.

My friend did take the mandolin to Elderly Instruments and they said it was in excellent shape for its age. The owners accepted $1100 for it and Elderly listed it for $1700. Haven't checked to see if...

I just bought this from an online consignment store in Seattle. It's part of the estate of Jon ten Broek of Corvallis, ORE. This is my first guitar and after years of...

After 4 years of solo flatpicking on my mando, I would like to meet other musicians to play with in my general area (Naples, Bonita Springs) I'm a 4th year beginner/intermediate, set list is mostly...

Can't make the early jam but hope to see y'all in Marysville. This is my first Kamp and am pretty excited.

Thanks much for the recommendations! Looking forward to getting back to NC this fall.

Hi all, it's been almost 3 years since I first picked up the mandolin. Am playing Celtic, Renaissance, Folk, and a little Classical and Old Time. Plan to go to my first mandolin camp/workshop next...

I just got a message from Elsie, the Gibson's owner. Thanks to all of you and your help, she is making a generous donation to the Naples Community Hospital Arts In Healing program. I play my mandolin...

That is truly priceless!

Thanks for the info! Just ordered some through Amazon. I've got the newbie habit of pressing too hard, play 4 hour gigs each week at a hospital plus practice, and Florida winters are very dry. Will...

Thanks much!! If the owner brings it down from MI I'll look Ross up. Sounds like I should make his acquaintance anyway. I thought Gator had closed, but they just moved out of the back alley into...

:mandosmiley: Hmmmmm, I like the loaner idea. If she did that, can y'all give me recommendations on a good luthier to take it to in Florida?

Thanks so much once again! This may be an unfair question, but if the A2 was professionally examined and any needed repairs made, I'd sure like to have an estimated range of value for Elsie. That may...

This is what often works for me. I put the iPod in its little waterproof bag and spend an hour in the kayak. I played alot over the holidays and though fun and great experience for a newbie, I...

You're right, George. I haven't been back to the Big Sky in a few years before I picked up the mandolin. Isn't the Weber shop in Belgrade or Manhatten? Hope to meet some day. Florida has its unique...

Thanks Martin and Big Joe! Very helpful info and advice for a newbie like me and the non-musician owner. If she doesn't want to sell I will at least have her loosen the remaining strings. I'm going...

I don't own a Weber yet, but my mando teacher in Boone, NC plays an Absaroka ("land of the sparrow hawk people" in the Crow language"). I love that Webers are made in Montana, my home for 22 years.

Here are the photos of the Gibson mando I originally posted as an A-9, which I now know is impossible for a mando made in the early 1920's. The owner is a snowbird acquaintance who keeps the mando...

Hey, you're only a few miles from me. I'm in north Naples near the Lee County line. Maybe I can get her to bring it down here. Ill get in touch with her before she leaves for MI. Thanks!

Thanks Mike, please excuse the error in terminology. Elsie will be back in Michigan next week and will take some pix. I can't wait to see it. A newbie question: do folks who buy these vintage mandos...

The model number is 64778. Still waiting to find out if she can provide any photos.
