    Whether you're using the Classifieds to buy and sell, trade, or you'd just like to do a little research on instrument traffic that has some actual meat, here are some random tips we think you might enjoy. Some you may know, some you may not.

    1. For sellers, this is new. As of a few days ago if you have uploaded and image with your ad and you added a web link with the ad URL (that's a web link acronym) then the image becomes clickable to whatever web address you've entered, say your ...

  4. My Martian Neighbors

    My new neighbor is from fricken Mars or somewhere. Somewhere entirely different from here.

    To listen to the music that sometimes comes out of his windows you would think he was some toothless old goober from the movie Deliverance. But that ain’t half of it.

    Because its not the goober network they are watching on cable, or some old crank around records from before CDs, no, they are making this music themselves!

    I know because I got to see them close up. ...

My mind is drawing a blank- however I think Sierra's is probably too advanced. One with a 'cool' guy would be my next choice (do not underestimate the coolness factor with teens, although the instruction is the main thing). She likes bluegrass...Any ideas?

  10. What do you Carry in your Mandolin Case?

    It's always fun to see how our instruments are maturing when they come home to the shop for custom work or add ons. What is even more fun is to see what players carry around in their cases. We've found sand, leaves, a wide assortment of bugs, enough dog hair to weave a medium sized rug, and pine cones. A lot of time we find play lists and pictures, sometimes love notes and even a dear John letter once. My favorites though are the Gecko droppings that were not only in the case but in the mando ...
