I want to join the chorus of those who have received Rob's e-book. Thanks Rob for your generous support to those of us who want to learn more about the art of mandolin construction.

Got the link within 2 hours of asking for it. Great service. I read through most of the book and found it to be complete and clear. Haven't watched the you tube videos yet but will do so soon. Don't know if I have the confidence to tackle mine yet. I'll have to read the book again and see how I feel then.

My mandolin was set up when I took it out of the box. The only problem I have is that the notes on the 4th string are very flat. I think maybe the action is too low and I was going to try and raise it some.

But don't hesitate to request this ebook. Even if you don't use it to do a set up, the knowledge you will reap is priceless.

wonderfull book. I guess I don't even need a luthier to serup my mandolin. Thank you Rob.

[mandala37]

Rob is one of the rare people who not only can organize subject matter well, but can also write clearly and concisely. Even if you don't want to do the work yourself this is excellent information. It will help you communicate with your luthier and give you a better appreciation for what they do.

almost finished setingup my mandolin. My fingers will be very happy after the nut setup. I heard a little buzz on the A strings and I tried the residue and super glue suggestion. I will see the result tomorrow. The feeler gauge idea is excellent. I only made two notches on the gauges and it worked perfectly. Thank you again Rob. But how do I know if I have to adjust the trust rod?

[Orkun Hiçyılmaz]

done!!! I checked my truss rod according to page on http://www.s-w-b-a.com/pickerscorner_docs/Relief.htm abd I found that I dont need any adjustement. my fingers aspecially my index finger is so happy. But I am scared that I too much sawed my nut si I will replace it soon. Any suggestion about bone or plastic or pearl?

I just emailed Rob last week and he got back to me in about a day with the e-book attached. I was flying out to visit family weekend and read through it on the plane. Can't wait to try out the techniques he has detailed in the book. Thanks Rob!

[Gibsonman]

Just received my book. Many thanks to you Rob. This was very nice of you.

Bought my first mandolin at the end of April. ( Savannah SA-100) I am amazed at the value contained in the 46 pages of this "free" e-book. Thanks Rob!

Hi Rob I just sent you a request for a copy, thanks very much.

[journeybear]

This sounds like a great resource. I like to think I know what I'm doing - most of the time - and can usually figure things out if I don't. But it would be great to be more sure about some things.

Thanks so much for doing this, for everyone!
