That is such a beauty!

Beautiful! Congrats!

Hi mate,

I think you got good points covered. For me it is just the feeling I get and if I like the tone. I guess I'm simple like that.

Just play a couple and I bet you will find a winner.

Well, for me its Sharon Gilchrist's 1991 Gilchrist. It wouldnt sound as good in my hands but damn its beautiful.

Hey guys,

It would mean the world to me if you check out our debut EP on Spotify! We are a trio based in Sweden.

Found this old bowlback for sale. Can anyone identify it?

I have an RK Bakersfield. Its a really fine instrument for the money.

Just arrived. Made by Spencer Oliver. Wow, what a difference an armrest does. And it looks so good!
Thanks Spencer!

Thank you all! Spencer, im looking to maybe get an armrest for this one. I'll send you a message.

Thanks! Will try to put something up soon.

It aint as warm sounding as my Kentucky, more of a bluegrassy tone. And Its not really as loud as the Kentucky. That might depend on strings I guess.

I found a Eastman MD807 from 2005. This one was the first prototype for the later MD 805D series.

Looks really cool and plays really well.

So sorry to hear this, Ivan. I wish you all the best!

Thanks for your input, Charles. Appreciate it!

So here we go again. I have a serious attack of MAS right now for an F Style. I like my KM-505 but now its time for a F.

As I live in Sweden I have a really limited range of mandolins. And the...

So I found a Moon Bouzouki here in Sweden which is pretty rare. How are they? How do they compare to the masters like a Foley/Sobell?
