Here’s one of the old tunes my dad (RIP) taught me on guitar as a boy.

I was a little confused by some of comments here. But the label inside these new F-5g mandolins only have the 'F5-g' on the top line, and the serial number on the second line (both hand written). ...

Note from the auction about the label from the seller.

"On Apr-05-24 at 13:45:00 PDT, seller added the following information:
******* NOTE: The label shown from INSIDE the instrument actually...

Yes, I know, this song has been done, redone, used, and abused, and I should have left it alone. However, I decided maybe there was a little room left in the world for a solo mandolin instrumental....

If you can find an older Kentucky (2008 to 2013 or so KM900, 1000, 1500), you will have a good chance of it sounding great. You hardly ever see those come up for sale.

The other part of the...

Ya, Steve. Me as well. The MandolinLessons Academy is the one I am involved with. It is going so well. Lots of feedback for our posts on song of the month videos. It is both encouraging and gives me...

I signed up, because I love how he teaches individual tunes, and I blew through the course: It was mostly superfluous for me, but I did pick up some pearls, particularly in “The Vault” section. I’m...

She's amazing and so is her band.

I think that is the accepted wisdom, and knowing the Gibson Company, it makes perfect sense. Loar left Gibson because the big prject to restimulate the market -- the F5 -- didn't go over with...

It took a good long while and more wheeling and dealing (and spousal apologizing) than I've ever done, but I've managed to put together a full Lyon & Healy Quartet.

All are player grade - the...

Hi everyone,

It looks like I joined back in 2016 but never posted.

I recently discovered the baroque mandolino and it’s fascinating music, so I have been lurking around here recently. I don’t...

Not far, as there was not enough interest for the minimum amount of cases that I would have to order.

First things first, hang on to that case if it actually fits this mandolin. These cases do come up for sale now and again but they are rare. The last one I recall was several years ago and the person...

I’m trying to locate a mandolin case that will fits my 1919 Martin Style C mandolin in excellent condition. I have the old mandolin case. However, I want to protect this beautiful old Martin Style...

HI Folks! This pretty little tune was written for the accordian, and I could not figure out the the chords on the 6-string. Annd I'm probably using the wrong chords here, but.... Thanks for the...

I've been thinking about Glen Duncan since hearing about his accident. The Mandolin Store raffle is a great way to support him.

Here's a cool video of Chris Henry interviewing Glen. I am sure...

This is one I'd been eyeing for a while for a possible solo mandolin arrangement. I finally sat down and put something together this week. I worked it all out on my Gibson A-4, but at the last...

The sibling mandola:

The top and headstock complete with inlaid Handel buttons:

I had a nice visit from a quartet of mandolas today. Here are a couple of 100+ year old Gibsons: beautiful closet queens with all of the right goods, & pristine cases that sounded and played great! ...

I bought a 1910 Gibson A from the classified recently, thinking all paddleheads were built with a 1-3/6” nut width. As soon as I opened the case, I could see that this one had a narrow nut. 1-1/8”...
