We're OK with this being discussed, not OK with multiple instances of false/wrong information reposted for others to digest. Wherever this "key individuals" caused all this came from, I assure you,...
Here's a further update to this. After keeping my mando in the case for a while, the padding has now compressed properly, and the case lid closes very easily without any resistance. I guess the...
Luke's top is off the test rig and we glued it to the final rib garland this evening with the new go-bar deck. (More broken basses in the background!)
His fingerboard is made and fretted; binding...
Here’s a quick video of my top on James’ test rig. Sound holes rough cut and braces shaped!

Fun to watch those old documentaries. Anyone know who the Guitar player was?

Hi Folks! Here's the first two videos I ever posted. 13 Years ago, shot on a Sony 8 digital tape. These were shortly before I found the MC and got back into mandolin again. Thanks for the...
Yes. They mention that in the first video, about 1:50 in.
I did play one of the demo models, I thought it was first rate! Congratulations!
I just happened across this brief youtube video thanks to their autosuggestion function. It's only a couple of years old and includes some interesting information. For one thing, it mentions plans by...
It's official. Happy Springtime guys! :grin::mandosmiley:

This is my latest 4th generation flat top mandolin. This is the culmination of 12 years of work improving the sound of the flat top mandolin. It all started from the fact that it is possible to...
Ask one of the other fellows to upload some video; that's not my best skill set & I'm way too busy to add that to the list!
Brandon's top is carved and tonebar braced. We glued it on to the live...
I went to a talk W. Eugene Smith gave in Louisville KY on his documentary photo work of the effects of industrial pollution in Japan just before he died. I had no idea of his connection to the jazz...

The tone when you tune your mandolin to A-G-E-D?
My #1 is a Nugget A-5, which is all I should ever need. However, because of mandolin polyamory, I have a great Ellis twin point, a '23 Snakehead A, and a 1917 Lyon & Healy A. All have different...
I played over 40 Lloyd Loar signed mandolins, mandolas, and mandocellos plus a ton of other great instruments in the last two months.
Guess what? They all sounded like me playing an old mandolin....
I didn't know Paul was from the Detroit area (before my time) and that he'd taught at Fava's - where I studied classical and jazz guitar in the 70s. Fava's was "The" place.
Why?? Here's a few things that those of us who repair instruments have found.
Some modern glues are good for instrument building, some are not.
Titebond Original has held up well over the years....
Haven't had an after breakfast tune for a wee while. This is Jimmy Shand's classic tune The Bluebell Polka. It was very popular when I was young, indeed it was a great favourite of my mother who...
I have a friend with a Northfield and they're doing a lot of things right.
