I don't have the carbon fiber case, but I got one of the fiberglass F-style cases when they first came out last year. The color of my lining is exactly like the photo you posted.

Another lovely arrangement, Colin!



I know the feeling. I have never had Mandola Acquisition Syndrome, but after six or eight months of Colin's arrangements, I now own a Northfield Mandola. We...

My Northfield Mandola came with their strings, but they'd been played a bit, so I replaced them pretty early on. Seems to me I saw somewhere their strings come from Battle Creek, and if that's the...

I've heard of Pursell, but never been in to talk to them. I know Clawson well - lived on Elmwood for a period of time many moons ago. Good luck on your journey!

Brian - Your profile says you're in suburban Detroit - where, specifically? I am in Rochester Hills. As others have said, you're not likely to get much satisfaction from anybody at Guitar Center as...

I decided I "needed" to go down the Mandola Road, so have been watching for one of these for awhile. This is Northfield Quickstep #4, purchased from Gryphon, and built 100% at the Marshall, Michigan...

There is a link in the video to download the arrangement. They're $6 or $8, but well worth it. I have been making semi-regular contributions to Colin's fund! Which I just did again, as a matter of...

In my case (no pun intended) the foam on the fingerboard is right above the neck support, so while the neck gets squeezed a little, it doesn't get bent. The foam above the strings is pretty well...

I now have the "new and improved" version, and had the same concerns re: the padding above the fingerboard and tailpiece. That only lasted a short while, the padding settled in, and now the case...

Think three-note chords. Chop chords are overrated. Only my opinion, obviously.

That looks pretty meaty and therefor heavy to me. I would lean towards Cumberland Acoustic or maybe a Brekke bridge? If it's a Weber, possibly it's got a Brekke bridge now. Weight matters. On my own...

Fantastic, thanks for sharing that!

OK, I'll play. This the back of my avatar.

I tuck the strap alongside the neck so it's not in the way, but it closes just fine. My only beef is that the accessory compartment is tiny - not even room for a regular Altoids tin in there. First...

I have a 1919 F4, and it fits great in the new Crossrock fiberglass case. Their initial case fit both F and A models, with use of included padding. This summer they released a new version designed...

Just beautiful. Congratulations, and Merry Christmas!

You might look at Vidami. They make a bluetooth version and a USB version. I have no personal experience, but a good friend swears by the BT version for use with her iPad. I believe there is a full...

I've got a PDF I converted from TablEdit. No idea if I'm posting it correctly, but here goes ....

Don - I'm not posting to correct you, but to make you aware - on D'Addario's site they list the EFW74 set as stainless steel flatwounds. I would imagine they're the same basic strings as the Chromes...

Thanks, Roger, and same to you and yours!

It looks a lot like the case my 1919 F4 came in, for whatever that's worth.

I need to pick up this book. We also saw Werner play with Toots, many years ago, at a small club in Cleveland. It was one of those spectacular nights in our lives where all was right with the world....

The tab and notation is also available here.

Thanks, Ray - I saw the original post, but didn't connect S/H with 'snakehead.' Thanks for the clarification. Every time I think I have a handle on all the acronyms, a new one comes up ...

The only beef I have so far is that the rubber bumpers on the lower bout of the case are not as tall as the hinge that is between them. So if you set the thing down, it's going to rest on one of the...
