I'm new at this whole mandolin thing, but I felt I should try and put some of it into this new track anyway. It's a humbling experience! You sit in front of the mic and record your track, and you...
I have a Tonegard on my one and only mandolin, the original design. I don't know if it helps with volume or tone to a listener, but I can hear a small difference and that's enough to make it...

Thanks for the replies .... the seller says it was recently set up, but I would want to make sure the neck is straight as well. Having no truss rod makes me a little nervous. I've read in other...
As a proud owner of a Mowry GOM, I commend the new work of Andrew. Also, cool to see another GOM with the art-deco headstock. I love mine, both the appearance, playability and tone. I have...

Does anybody have any comments on this mandolin: Ebay Leonora Mandolin
