Very attractive. Would love to hear it.

I appear at least once a year from the gray mists of Lurkdom to offer this
homage to Festivus, which we celebrate on December 23rd.

Here is a picture of one of Doug Unger's pocket mandos. I use a very solid PVC fishing rod case to carry the instrument. It plays (and looks) great. Commuted on Southwest Airlines three...
One hundred and forty posts based on "I think my mandolin sounded a lot better after some other guy played it for a while."
Seldom has such a slender framework supported such a massive...
I have noticed that my mandolins sound better the more I practice.
To my ear, my mandolin sounds different every time I play it. The temperature is warmer, the temperature is colder, the barometric pressure is greater or less, the strings are new, the strings are...
The word "censored" is out of place here. That would be if the government forced Scott to remove someone's post. Scott choosing to do so is nothing more than a business decision -- one made to...
What music we listen to for entertainment need not have anything to do with what music we play.
Yea we need to do a good deal of listening to the kind of music we want to play, but that is...
Just this. Thank you for french people.

Well I'm just now opening up.
Vintage, but in good condition: Naturally distressed. That is, usual light play ware in the finish on the top, and some mild buckle rash. Plays straight with only...
This will drive Teak crazy.
As far as I am aware Marissa has always played an oval hole mandolin. When I met her she was playing one of Scot Wise's oval hole mandolins and she played that for many years until she got the Lyon...
Balderdash, flummery, and poppycock.
For the most part, this whole thread sounds like geezers really in a regular rut. "GRRR". LOL.;)
Clearly, it's not aimed at traditionalists, I'd bet.
And its played by professionals that would...
Well, according to some drunken sailors away at sea for too long ... :whistling:
The English language has been personhandled for so long, at times it seems it's been persongled beyond recognition....
In my best Kevin Spacey voice, "spectacular."
Perhaps misogynist is a little strong but at least it got people thinking about the subject. Let's nor scare of the many mandolin loving women out there.
There you go, I'm politer than you. ;)
Yes, that is what I was getting at. The question has never been 'is this a serious question or a joke.' The problem that I believe Peter Jenner was pointing to is that 'the wife' is, as you say,...
While the OP doesn't specify the gender, many of the replies do. I'm seeing what Peter is seeing. Remember, while it may not be evident, we do have a sizable number of female members who lurk, and...
How about, I dunno, use science?
As a player of the mandolin since I was a teenager, growing up in a Sicilian-American family, and as a non-Bluegrass player, I must admit I'm surprised that to so many people
mandolin = F hole...
Why don't you favor us with your insights into today's truly authentic performers of Bach? Those of us who love Bach but have been bamboozled by Thile's circus-trick recordings would be grateful to...
The new Asian fusion restaurant does not undermine the sanctity of Myrtle's home-style cooking down the street. Gay marriage does not undermine the sanctity of Billy Bob's fourth heterosexual...
