    John Reischman demonstrates his mandola.

    If you have not seen this then, there's a good chance after watching it that you'll want a Lawrence Smart mandola. I've got mine coming on Wed and it is all because of this video...

    Re: New Vessel Loar A5 tribute

    If everyone did put "The Gibson" on their mandolins you could always tell the authentic ones because they would be the ones that didn't look right.

    TEvans, looks great. Glad you had the masters do the work.

    I recently made the trip to the Ellis shop for some work on my Ellis A5. My experience was the same as yours: the best folks you'd ever...

    One other thing, if you're going to use the Waverly bushings buy the Stewmac reamer for those bushings.

    I made the switch from Gibson Grover tuners to Waverly tuners. I can compare the Gotoh's to the Gibson Grover tuners I removed. They appear to have the same post spacing as the Grover tuners. The...

    Can you imagine finding out that the ukulele you sold a few weeks ago for 20 bucks is worth 185K?
    Now, that would suck.

    Yeah, that's "Ella" (John named all his instruments), and it's one of the finest sounding mandolins I've ever run into...seriously.

    FWIW, when Steve Gilchrist last saw my mandolin (about 3 years ago), I was a bit mortified to show it to him, since I've put quite a bit of wear on it. He looked it over and marveled at the back,...
