Thanks Mark,
There is no question relaxation is key, in anything we do, not just playing mando but I do constantly struggle with it. I can be totally relaxed and playing away one minute and then...

I can't imagine this hasn't been covered a bunch but my searches didn't bear fruit so please point me in the right direction.
Simple right wrist question and as I watch the really good guys and gals...

I haven't searched tactical rifle bags yet but that would be one small aXX rifle to make a good fit with this mando!!! make a sawed off shotgun look big!!

Mine was made by a fellow named John Gonder many moons ago, early 80's maybe? I had it listed in the classifieds but just deleted the add as I'd like the spend some time dialing in the setup to make...

Chris Scruggs---The Jedi Knight of Hillbilly Music!
That's from his introduction on an old BR-549 live recording of ShotGun Boogie by the way---is there anything this guy can't play or sing better...

Good suggestions above, I never even thought to Google mini guitar gig bag---should have been an obvious first step. I see Gator makes cases in all sorts of sizes so I'll measure it up and see if...

I haven't spent much time on the forum the last few years so I'm surprised by the builders doing great builds of the Bigsby style 5 string mandolin. I've got an older homemade 5 string in that shape...

How about a June 13 '23?

Dang Russ, you must be well connected! I have #35 and it just arrived from Mike two weeks ago!

I can't really add to this post other than to say I absolutely remember Frank and all the New Deal guys very well, my first exposure to really well played Bluegrass while I was a student at St...

LOL I knew I wasn't the only one who put this off forever. While my hands are horribly dry in the cold winters they don't produce the stuff that kills strings so they don't get rusty. I changed three...

OK two of you have been into MB and played the Loar but not asked the price??

John,
Are you sure Jim can find you way back in them thar hills?? By the way--what pool?? Oh maybe that's hidden in the Airstream?
I am the owner/instigator of the #20 above with the wire on...

I took my 18 year old daughter (who has about as wide a taste in music as you can imagine, Italian opera to Lynard Skynard) and her rock guitar playing boyfriend (Nirvanna is his fav) to see the...

Looking again, it actually appears to be attached to his armrest.[/QUOTE]
Jeff,
Thanks for the info and the link as well as the picture.

Jordan,
I saw the Punch Bros a few weeks ago also at one point in the night the banjo player stepped on his mike cable and it popped off so it must just clip onto the tailpiece somehow. He had the...

Check the Red Bear trading co wesite out as they have some prety good pictures of picks with speed bevels on them. They also have a pick maintenence kit for only 3.75 which gives you everything you...

I doubt the guy knows much about mandos as its obviously not an original bridge which does have a serious case of the sags doesn't it? Most likely just somebody trying to flip something he bought at...

I wonder of some of the experts that hang out in the vintage section could answer this, I have often wondered about this myself?

Tortis makes a nice inexpensive kit to shape, bevel and polish your pics so you can 'bevel to taste'

is the string spacing narrower at the bridge than the nut or is that just an optical illusion?

[quote=Russ Jordan,Aug. 03 2007, 11:27]#<<Most Collings dealers would like to have a TOB, so if Mandolin Bros got one last year, that likely puts them a long ways down the list before getting another...

It's nice that Mike is working on upgrades for this model but are they really building very many of these? I put a deposit down at Mando Bros as soon as I heard about them several years back. They...

I had heard that John Reischman's Loar did not intonate all that well and he had Michael Heiden put a new arched, scooped fretboard on it while keeping the original board intact so it could be...

They were sent out a few weeks ago so you might want to call John Lawless if you ordered it from him as I'd bet yours has been lost in the USPS if you don't have it yet.
Skin it, I don't know Adam...
