More than a decade ago, I had the delightful opportunity to build a custom Sorensen Pacifica mandolin for film and television sound guru Bob Bronow.

Bob's Pacifica build history is recorded...

Vitriol? Hardly.
What they're trying to explain to you is that we're here to talk about mandolins and music. That's it. The topic has no place here. It has nothing to do with anyones' opinion...

Not gonna play your game.

Religion and politics are two of the easiest ways I know to shut down a thread on this board.

This is a site about mandolins, plenty of other places to talk about those things.

Tapered end pins have always been an issue. There are likely hundreds of answers but Ed's is as good as any of them. Han's Brentrup had a method that added some insurance to the problem even after...

Mandozine was hosting a wonderful collection of TablEdit files for mandolin, but as you are probably aware it has not been reliable lately. The site went offline at the beginning of 2019, was...

Michael Cleveland is a great musician and has been since he was a mere kid. The F style mandolin he is with in these photos is a Gilchrist that was made in 1995. It was built for me just the way I...

I worked up several Willie Nelson numbers on mandolin earlier this year, Crazy, Funny How Time Slips Away, and Night Life. The intention was to play them in gigs with my guitar duo buddy, but our...

Lets see if I did this correctly? This has some footage of my Great Uncle Dick Smith playing with the great Jimmy G. and at the end my Uncle Gene Johnson playing with the II Generation! Also many...

It should be noted that since the Gibson F5 was introduced in 1922 it has always been a "custom" ordered model. A dealer would have to order one based on someone putting a deposit down at the...

I don't see any reason for any attitudes.

Gibson does not list mandolins in their on-line catalog, and hasn't listed them for at least a couple of years.

Only one or two brick and mortar stores...

I got to your site and then followed it to that video, like that song so I posted it.

Hey Tim, I believe I figured out the chords: https://youtu.be/zo6upLL8Xnc

I think in the second part of the video she means to play the chord tones for each chord of the scale. Quite the workout thanks for posting!

So the chords in the key of A are A, Bm, C#m, D, E,...

Here's my take on Ricky Skaggs' tune, "1st Corinthians 1:18" I wasn't satisfied with a lot of the playing-rhythm, tone, etc. But I got some new monitors the other day, a pair of Mackie 3", and did a...

Hello all, sorry I missed your last email Billy.
It never ceases to amaze me how incorrect the rumor mill can be. No truth to this latest that Gibson mandolin production is down to one or less...

Wow! Glad nobody was hurt - you are right, it is just a mandolin and we can make more.
