I was always told not to leave in instrument in a car in conditions that you wouldn't leave a dog or baby.
This mandolin was featured in the "Sometimes a case tells a story" article recently.

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...
Hi guys,
I’m keeping it. I’m working it out with the vendor and it will end up being a pretty sweet deal.
Just so you know, after they contacted me earlier in the week, they said that their...
If you were watching the Grammys this year, maybe you were as taken as I was by the duet between Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs. There's a good quality clip here:

This is the cutting edge of sales these days. When someone orders something you send them the more expensive item “by mistake”.
I just wanted to give a shout out for DataNick who has this on Bluegrasstoday:

Maybe it’s time to lay off going into every thread that contains the word Northfield and questioning or pointing out where they are made and what tier they are in as you seem ignorant on the issue....
goodness, everybody on this are top shelf. Sam Bush playing mandolin and bass, quick glimpse of him holding a blonde mando(does he have a new axe?), Bela, Tony T, Michael on fiddle and as always is a...
We know what we need to do: metronome, study, exercise, learn, write, improvise, play.
To work!
I may be different, but I don’t think it’s the seller’s job to provide a mandolin I’ll love. It’s his or her job to provide a mandolin that arrives safely as described. At that point, I think it’s on...
After floundering around for a few years, I dipped into savings and bought a custom mandolin from Michael Heiden in 2017. Other specialty builders had wait times of at least a year, and he told me...

I picked up one of the new 2023 F5G models recently, and i own a 2022 older version F5G.
I've had a couple Dave Harvey Gibsons pass thru my hands (via personal ownership and normal playwear...
ZETA's A/E mando's have 'active' electronics . . . meaning they have a preamp and battery. A floor DI can be used for additional power (volume) boost along with tonal adjustments, tuner, etc . . ....
Nope, they buy from whomever they choose to buy from and the name Epiphone doesn't add any cache to the Flatiron label. But, as Steinberger is a Gibson brand I totally understand the concept. They...
This is beautiful too, freshly released ...

thanks old friend-i still miss "our" Pava. i would like to find that one and just hang out with it a few minutes to see what i feel about it these days-sometimes our thoughts blind reality. its kinda...
A little while ago I was fortunate to happen upon a Northfield F2. I'm very glad I did. The sound and smoothness of playing is fantastic. One of the best mandolins I've encountered.

Flatirons can be a bit confusing. You have several eras. The Carlson signed Flatirons are the most sought after. This is before Gibson purchased, as you so. I believe that is 87 and before. Their...
We just posted a video where I played the 1923 Master Model Reissue prototype with David Harvey playing the Gibson Vault July 9th 1923 Loar. While we have different playing styles, I think you can...
