    Re: Looking for Repertoire by Women Composers

    I'm surprised than no one has yet mentioned Alison Stephens. (British, 1970–2010). Although she mainly wrote solo and small ensemble pieces, she also wrote for mandolin ensemble. Her work is...

    Essential Elements, a beginning band/orchestra method, has what you're looking for. The violin version would fit mandolin just fine.

    Re: Paper Lining for Bowl Back Mandolin

    As the lignin in wood gives off acids, using acid-free paper to line a bowl is pointless—it will deteriorate regardless.

    Martin at Carter's

    Carter's strikes again with a beautiful bowl back, highly reasonably priced. If I hadn't just bought a bowl back I would be sorely tempted. Can someone remove this temptation?
