    Re: N(tm)MD

    Dave, nice mandolin and nice playing. I'll pay you the highest compliment and ask if you have tab (for the guitar or mandolin part) for Parsnip Wine or if you were just riffing. Enjoy that Big Muddy!...

  6. Re: Troublesome Creek Luthiery on CBS Mornings today

    Very nice piece and glad to see that the instruments that enrich our lives so much are helping others to rebuild their lives.

  7. Re: Why not a domestic, hand built instrument instead?

    I think that sometimes availability plays a factor as well. Eastmans, Kentuckys, etc. are readily available to order (or even audition in stores) whereas commissioning a build thru a one-man shop...

    Re: Does this look like a real SOL?

    Ha, didn't even notice the hyphens turned into apostrophes! When I think SOL I always think instruments from the 40's and 50's, didn't realize that they morphed into instruments from Asia. Thanks. Rob

    Re: Just got my first mandolin!

    No advice on which one to keep but the free lessons at mandolessons.com (Baron can be found on Youtube as well) is a great place to start.

    Re: The problem is mostly sentimental

    If it has sentimental value then I think that I would keep it and hang it on the wall. The neck separation is what would scare me and is probably indicative of bigger problems. If it were me I would...

    You don't see a tailpiece like this everyday!

    https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/msg/d/temecula-kay-style-mandolin-1940s-50s/7452259471.html

    The mandolin actually looks to be in pretty decent shape

    Re: so i may have purchased a Gibson F5G

    I'll jump in to agree that Chuck Levin's is an excellent store. I grew up in that town and prior to moving cross country have been in there many, many times. They may not deal much in mandolins but...

    Re: Kentucky Army-Navy Mandolin

    I understand. My first mandolin was an Eastman 505, which is a slight upgrade from Eastman 305 which is one of the de facto recommendations for a great place for la beginner to start. I had intended...

    Re: Kentucky Army-Navy Mandolin

    No, my bad, I thought that you were looking for a flattop (Army/Navy, pancake, etc.). The KM-500 and 600 are carved tops with F holes, different animals from something like the flattop, oval hole...

    Re: Kentucky Army-Navy Mandolin

    I'd take a look at a Sawchyn Beavertail. Very well made mandolin at a very affordable price, I love mine.

    Re: Eastman 305 - Neck Comparisons

    I would say that the most common neck sizes on modern mandolins is 1 1/8 and your Eastman is 1 3/32, so a little bit more narrow. Neck profile comes into play as well when determining what mandolin...

    Re: Ready to upgrade mandolin - need advice!

    That's the one that I got when I got back into mandolin about 2 years ago. I initially was going to go with a 305 but the 505 has the better Pingwell tuners, hard case instead of gigbag, the custom...
