Always looking for an interesting project. So a list of mandolin friendly retail destinations on a map with maybe 15-20 must visits? Something like this... https://www.mandolincafe.com/workshops/ -...

I have had Andrew Mowry make me some beautiful ebony tenor crosspieces. Complete with inner metal stop plates. Very easy to work with and very nice quality at a good price. You can find the...

So I managed to get my hands on Lucky this summer, although a severed long finger tendon on my left hand has kept me from playing until this week. Came in a nice Bobelock case that I cleaned up, and...

Hey Baron,
When I get a chance in a few days I'll make a sound clip of it amplified and get a few better pics of the pick up install. Will PM you with the results.

I have #20. Just got it back from Tom. He updated the tail piece, refretted and did a general set up. A great early example of Tom’s brilliance.

She's a beauty, that's for sure. Recording coming.
Here’s a solution for mounting an Audio-Technica Pro 35 mic that I hadn’t seen before, so I thought I’d share it. Apologies if it’s been done before (and I’m sure it has).
I’ve seen folks simply...
It was me. I have never posted on Mandolin Cafe but I can review the Gilchrist when I receive it next week. I’ve been wanting one for a while and when I saw it for sale I called Carter and bought it.

Ooh that’s pretty Baron
Don't forget Alvin Youngblood Hart
