Thread: Show your cboms!

    thanks. they are great players, and distinctive sounding. i bought them partially because i am canadian and these are great canadian makers, but the currie holds it's own against all the carved tops i have played--which isn't many, maybe a dozen. the laskin is a very responsive flat top. it's a smaller body than many newer models, but that gives it drive , i think. and the laskin has a logger on the head stock, riding the the river drive--can't get more canuck folkie than that.

    what kind of scale and string dimensions does that take? can it be an octave mandolin? or would that kill the tone?

    It takes D'Addario J78's. The nut is 1 5/8" wide, Scale Length is just under 26". I wouldn't dream of using it for anything else than a booming mandocello - CCGGDDAA.

    That is just gorgeous. It's like the mandocello of my dreams just popped up onto the screen. It must have a huge voice.

    This is a Big Muddy M16. It is truly loved. Mike was one of the easiest people to work with, and that alone would make this a great Mandola. But the sound is exactly what I was looking for, the rosewood gives it a mellow tone which I like for the blues. But I play it in many different places with many different styles. With a k an k inside, I can Ho anywhere This instrument makes melodies come out of no where when I play it. It's my muse.

    Another member of the waldzither mafia ... a 30's Pluckthun with a wide body & almost-20" scale, modified by Jake Wildwood. It's a gas to play and it records really well.

    This finally came last week. It may be one of the last Gallatin Cellos made from Weber. Maple back and sides. Plays great, looks great and it's just a kick. Not a super clear pic but you get the idea. Will post some vids at some point.

    That's a beauty. I have a blonde gallatin and love it. You might consider replacing the tailpiece with a more trapeze style. It makes mine so much easier to switch out the strings and I get great tone and sustain with it.

    From a cbom orgy at Randy Clepper's house in Columbus OH.

    That's Randy's Sobell 10-string rubbing shoulders with my Sobell 12-string. Behind us stands my Sobell 10-string, then to the right are three of Randy's that he would need to explain. I believe the middle one is his main axe, a Thomas Davis 10-string.

    Here's my Foley 10-stringer made in April 1997. 22.8"/58cm scale length. Been playing in GDADA, but I'm ready to order some new strings for a tuning change. Hoping I can I get a low D on there for DGDAD/DGDGD without it sounding too floppy. Thinking of going with .059w 047w .032w .020w .014 from low to high.

    I'm a newcomer here, seems a good thread to introduce myself. I've been playing guitar/bass for 15 years and recently decided to get a Hora Irish bouzouki, came here for the bouzouki resources. All the mandolin talk has me tempted to get a mandolin as well though. The Hora seems about what you'd expect, I had to cut notches myself for the C strings (I tune/play it in Greek manner) but has a nice action, decent sound etc, worth the money I paid for it. I'd like to get a nicer bouzouki at some point and tune one in the Irish manner. Looking forward to learning a lot about various assorted stringed instruments here.
