Our son is a rocker who took off with his band at 16. A few years later he was ready to give mom and dad a try again and I went to help him fix an apartment. We listened to my iPod while we worked....
This song came up on shuffle today. The mandolin sounds really jumped out and made me smile.

rcc56 points out cautions that I take for granted. A few drops on a soft rag. start in an inconspicious spot. I have found Simple Green to be gentle on finishes. There are combinations of crud and...
I have had good results with Simple Green un dilulted, a small amount on rag. Lately I have added it to my list of things to try before moving on to solvents.
While I wait for Mr. Erale.... Here is a good cover featuring a Mid Missouri Mandolin.

The audio book is long. This youtube is short.

The cello is a big low mandolin like thing to me. Have others been inspired by YoYo Ma? His free to all Beginners Mind audio book is really powrefull....
I am in the ICP camp but have done several refrets. My thought is that the mandolin is small and the scale is short, so small frets
are in order. Here is a cut from guitarplayer.
Bigger frets...
Do Mandolin player references count? Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise in the diner just before Vegas.
And another from TV, the clue is Grasshopper.

Mr fox has had good results with old Harmony guitars. These usualy have a non adjustable truss rods so the neck has plenty of wood left. He may have started from scratch on the neck in this video.

I have had success plugging tuner holes and veneering both sides of the peg head for tuner changes. I have had guitar necks break off at the peg head after slimming down. A first step would be to...

Humidity or the lack of it can cause a 2mm change.
The "Shop Amp" at Franklin is a Twin Twelve. It is one that has the diagonal motif on the front. Nick said it was rare. I can not find an image of the front. When I heard that amp I realized that the...
Very very nice. The bag is super cool. I am a big avocate for the hard case.
