You might hear on the news about major bushfires in Australia close to where Steve Gilchrist and I live. We are both safe and not affected. The fire near us started in Eucalyptus forest about 2km...

Contact Colings. They might have some suggestions as to what can be done.
Hah! I knew you would say that! Very funny. Of course, you are right. What is amazing is that this forum has become an excellent adjunct to the Mandolin Archive for historical information about all...
A Happy new Year to everybody, absolutely everybody.
Can somebody toss Mark a nickel, please?
I confess I'm a little lazy about posting photos because I assume Jim will come along and do it.
Am I the only one who cares about posting the photos before they disappear, especially those on craigslist which go away very soon? Here you go... for historical purposes.
I don't recall this one...
Happy New Year to all my mandolin friends.
Especially to those brand new to the mandolin. Those whose first mandolin showed up under the tree less than a week ago. Welcome one and all to the...
A new meaning to "fake news"
Reminds me of all those signs- world's best cup of coffee.
As my son and I like to say . . . 'It's cool, but I'm not sure that it's $1,300 cool.'
Technically, this is even correct, since none of you play the banjo. Likewise, I am proud to play the tuba exactly like Chris Thile does.
I guess I kinda like when it sits like that. That's how special forces strap their rifles. Kind of feels like I'm strapping an assault rifle that shoots music
I'm never offended by the question. I think it's great that they are interested enough to ask. I would only be offended if they thought it sounded like a banjo :) I'm kind of shy, so I meet more...
That's published where? Shouldn't Malaysia be in that list as well? Again, this is a discussion that has been going on for years and it has evolved. I think we need to concentrate more on how they...
Looking at my map of the world, Won't Gilchrist be Pac Rim?
Thanks to each and every one of you.
You made me laugh.
You made me smile.
A couple of times you made me cry.
You guided me.
You taught me.
You made me look at life in a different light. ...
Walking with an A model in its case,someone asks me if that's where I keep my giant lolipops..
I'd probably die if a Weber Vintage F dropped out of the sky into my arms.

Yes, when will companies come out with tuner buttons in tortoise or rosewood,...I'm not speaking of the glue on buttons, but rather the kind that have the screw on the end. There are many mandolins...
If I had 1500 - 2k for my only mandolin I would be searching for a Collings A or Flatiron F on the used market.
A good friend has been helping a family that has recently relocated to Minnesota. There are two sons that like music, but have never played. Someone had donated an acoustic guitar for one of them....
If I were in your shoes, Iwouldn't go for a 2K list instrument; I'd go for a used instrument, because there's good chance of finding gold for 2K at a "used" price - getting a lot of value for your...

Just finished this. It's a Barbat (Persian oud) with an ash body and pegbox, mahogany neck, cherry fingerboard and spruce soundboard.
Thanks for your input on the KM-150. Yes, I’m currently waiting for mine that I ordered from Easterly and jumping up and down like a 4-yr old at Christmas!! 🤶🏻I’m 73
One less glue joint that can come apart 80 years later.
