    Poll: Re: Poll - If there could only be one?

    As to why no Gibson in the list... The limit is 10 for a poll, so I tried to focus on individuals and very small teams.

    To the point about most people having never owned or played mandolins from...

    Re: A good reason to have more than one mandolin

    Re: Please School Me On Mandolin Strings

    Check to see what the instrument was designed for. Some makers have specific strings in mind when building and intonate the bridge and cut the nut for specific gauges. EJ74's and A270s are probably...

    Re: Collings MF5 - Any years to avoid?

    I'm not suggesting that he wasn't heavily involved in later years, or that the current ones are not up to the same standard. I'm sure they are all wonderful because that's Collings' genius; don't...

    Re: Collings MF5 - Any years to avoid?

    The blast was downtown. The Mandolin Store appears to be north of Nashville in a suburb. Carter's is downtown but about a mile away. I'm just getting all of this from Google Maps, though. A local may...
