how i would answer the question, if you like the tone of the Dave Harvey builds(i do) and you play the flat fretboards with the small frets with no issue, you will not be disappointed.
i've had a...

and while we are at it, this came right after the above video, and probably most of us have watched it(more than a few times) i thought it might be a...
When my 1925 Washburn Professional (by Lyon & Healy) arrived, I found this charming, crumpled note in the case.

I love to find some "extra stuff" in the cases with a new purchase ...
this time something different than the usual old rusted string sets
i dig the return policy on the envelope , never seen one...
I'm all for progress, yet I value tradition. I thought something valuable was lost when, in the wake of the popularity of "The Preppy Handbook" in the early 80s, the Yale Co-Op began selling baseball...
"Could I leave mando in car in winter while skiing?"
Kinda depends on how badly you need kindling and how much you're willing to spend for it. :whistling:
How about making the day you do...
I work at the University of Washington and came across some old photos of campus and had to scan this one in for you all.
I thought it was interesting to find five mandolins in this... Orchestra?...
I was always told not to leave in instrument in a car in conditions that you wouldn't leave a dog or baby.
Depends. Is it a Rogue or a Gilchrist?
I wouldn't want the Mando to sleep any colder than me. Will it get lonely and perhaps go with a passing stranger? I've heard they sometimes do that.
It may not be the most aesthetically pleasing but a small piece of leather laced through the strings in-between the bridge and tailpiece works for me.
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...
Was down in Seattle last week and made my usual drop-in to Dusty Strings to check out mandolins for my students here in Bellingham. There were two mandolins in particular that I played that really...
I took a look at the store after Bill brought this to our attention and grabbed a few screen shots. It is a straight out scam. We won't be listing the URL, just be aware. If something looks too good...
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...
I've amassed close to a dozen different Blue Chip picks over the years. My kids, and others, seem to always want to know what to get me for Xmas and my birthday. I just provide a link to a wish...
I'm Jason, and I'm a recovering banjo picker. I started mandolin just over a year ago and have been at it, pretty obsessively, I'll admit. Besides practicing and learning the mandolin like my life...
I am posting an image here (just for the hell of it) of my all-time favorite Lloyd Loar F5 back. The mandolin in question is a signed, February 8th model done in a gorgeous tobacco finish. To me...
Just saw a fantastic interview on YouTube last night - Rick Beato with Bela Fleck. What an amazing show... so much great information that would be of interest to any/every musician. Can't think of...
I had the same issue with my Mandocaster - the A was noticeably too loud and the E was too soft. I tried different gauge strings (12 on the E and 11 on the A), lowered the height of the E and raised...
I still do some routines I stole from these guys on stage. RIP Tommy.

I wasn’t aware that need was part of the equation.
Interesting, but not something this site is willing to engage in as you see it, and we will explain.
First off, the Mandolin Cafe is intended first and foremost as a place to share information,...
