Just to clarify, I signed up for the Academy that was mentioned in post #5, not the Comprehensive Mandolin course. Two different options on Baron's site. You can sign up for either one or both.
I signed up, because I love how he teaches individual tunes, and I blew through the course: It was mostly superfluous for me, but I did pick up some pearls, particularly in “The Vault” section. I’m...
I'm a bit late, but I signed up.
Yeah I never had a problem with my EJ74s. I suppose string (and pick) experimentation is a minor form of g.a.s. I did just read something interesting on another forum. Someone paraphrased Tommy...
The best budget mandolin comes from a shop that will do a proper set up so you don't have to spend almost the purchase price again on a quality set up.
I am a fan of inexpensive mandolins for...
Recording King makes a Dirty 30's A for $199 that is not only cheap but does not sound bad or play badly. I teach kids and that is what I recommend to their parents who usually bring in these...
Ibanez seems to be getting a bad rap here. I have one, an F style, F hole. It came to me factory new and after a proper set up and string change, it plays just fine for me. I cannot emphasize enough...
I have owned a few budget mandolins I’d heartily endorse.
1) the Eastman MD304 or 305
2) my favorite… Big Muddy. They makes their models in “primitive” also to save some bucks if you like. They...
Any more opinions on the original question?
Hey Dan! I have the James on my Pava and LOVE it! I think if your handy enough to do your tuners, you can easily do the tail piece. Just safe tape or mark your bridge location. I think it's easier...

I've been mulling over signing up for his academy. Baron's instruction has been a big boost to my learning lately. I almost sound good when I play after 7 years.
Just signed up. Looking forward to it.
At first yes…. After years (decades for others), BC is not that expensive. I’ve spend more on Dunlop Tortex in less time then I’ve owned my BC. Those only last about 5 sessions for me before the tip...
Has anyone else signed up for this new program that Baron Collins-Hill is offering? It looks promising.

I've already learned so much...
So if I understand you clearly, we’re shopping for an oval? :))
Awesome. My Dad gifted me a nice mandolin, which lead to us getting together weekly to play to play jazz/fiddle tunes/bluegrass, swapping mandolin and guitar back and forth as we go. All started...
Can you adopt me. :grin:
That's so awesome and very generous of you! Your sons are fortunate to have such a great, sharing Dad.
That’s great! My boys are just 10 and 12 and learning bass and guitar, respectively. They can play a handful of tunes with their mom and me, and we have a lot of fun. I look very forward to the day...
Thank you! It really is wonderful :) The nut width is 1-1/8" (standard). I'm not sure if it's the string spacing or something else but it looks wide to me... I had to measure it twice to make sure....
That's a beautiful mandolin! My last name is Morris and I really should've got one of those Morris mandolins.
Promised Santa (or at least Mrs. Claus) I'd be good if there might be an A model mandolin in my future. Guess it worked.
A model from Steve Boeh of Woodbury, MN. This is #37. Minnesota pine top...
