    Re: It Made the Mandolin Sound Better

    Too funny. So, for the first 20-25 years of my musical journey, there was no way I could play a gig, practice or even listen to music without a puff or three. That was just the way we rolled (sorry)...

    Re: Kate Wolf Accompanied By Two Mandolins – 1985

    Randy Sabien- the dude mandolin player- is an incredible jazz fiddle player from northern Wisconsin. I didn't even know that he played mandolin. He obviously does, and quite well.

    Re: Steve Earl and his Gibson mandolins

    Steve is most definitely "The Man". What a true eccentric. And I mean that as a compliment. Have seen him several times live- and each show was completely different. That old Gibson A that he played...

    Re: Resonators

    I used to have one of those- it was very cool. With a pickup. I can't remember why I passed it along, but I sure wished I would've kept it. I don't remember what I sold it for, but that price seems a...

    Re: A Tiny surprise....

    That copy is a Jay Roberts made in Yuba City Ca, and sold in Tiny's music store in Sacramento Ca. I'm lucky enough to own one. Wish mine had the Bigsby, but it's very cool and fun to play just the...

    Re: 1953 EM-200 original red or refin?

    Looks refinished to me. I don't believe they made an EM 200 that color. Or any other mandolin for that matter. I'm not sure how they can justify asking $12,000 for it.

    Re: One that got away

    It wasn't me Martin. I believe that's actually a picture of the old National that I bought from that elderly gentleman a few years ago. It looks identical. I think I sold or traded it to you. The...

    Re: Dobro versus National

    I've had them all at one time or another-still have a couple of Nationals(old and new) and used to have a sweet Dobro from 1935 that I regret selling. I also had a Wailing, which while well made, was...

    Re: J.L. Smith 4-Stringer Abbreviated Pickguard:

    Very nice John. Good to see that you're still making beautiful instruments. I think they're the best value in electric mandolins on the market today. I believe I was one of your first customers many...
  12. Re: New Crafter owner hoping for some help from Ovation owners

    I have an Ovation that came with a heavily padded gig bag. I would think that if you found a fairly large padded gig bag at Elderly, your Crafter would fit. You could call them and give your...
