  1. Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer

    He is just beginning a learning curve or its a scam. And the customer service must be included in that price, "Don't Bother Me". Bet his store does great. Or he consulted Duane Eddy's people about...

    Re: The Henhouse Prowlers

    These guys are awesome, if you get the chance to see them. They do not have a mandolin player, since their last one left a year or so ago.

    Re: Disappointed in the Loar Mandolins

    Sounds exactly like my experience. I bought a 700 second, sent it off to Steve Smith for a CA bridge, Allen tailpiece, and an excellent setup, and it is a great mando. Does it sound as good as the...

    Re: A thousand words is worth no pictures?

    I did notice how the ad writer is not giving the original purchase price but rather adjusting it to today's dollars. Wonder if that will work on my old Buick. I think not. Not saying its not worth...

    Re: I Had A Brush With Greatness

    I was on that cruise last year as well, and got to at least speak for a few moments with most of the artists. Last year they did not stop in Key West, but we extended our vacation after the cruise...

    Re: 2014 Walker Creek Spring Music Camp

    Excellent roster! Proud to say I have been a student of Keith Yoder, he has taught me a lot about playing the mandolin, but much more about playing music on the mandolin.

    Re: Which one do you practice on the most?

    I go through streaks as well, although the old A-1 and the resonator get less play than the others. For technique practice I will typically use the Loar 700, as I have the action set higher. Then...

    Re: [Loar Update] I'm a proper idiot.

    That is true, I have one of the 8 prototypes designed by Greg and built by Bruce. It does not have this problem, and is a great sounding mandolin. I also have a The Loar 700, while it is an OK...

    Re: Eastman MD315 Setup

    That will be one fine playing mando once Robert gets done with it. I second the thought of the j74's, maybe Robert can pack some sets in the case when he sends it. It would be great to get your...
  12. Re: Upgrading from a Loar LM600VS to a.......Weber???

    I have a The Loar 700 and also a Weber mandolin, and while The Loar is a great mandolin, the Weber sounds a bit better to my ears, plays easier, and feels more comfortable. That being said, not sure...

    Re: Gibson A models from the early teens

    They are great sounding mandolins for the most part. I have a 1910 Gibson A1 that plays well, sounds great and has better sustain than any of my other ones. Great deal for the 800-1000 you can...

    In the heart of the midwest, there is a mandolin mecca. The town has many good players, some good luthiers, at least one great small builder and also is the host for a very cool website! I had...
  21. Re: Tailpiece replacement for my new j bouvier f5 special

    Have to agree with Mike Bunting on this one. I have James tailpieces on 2 of my mandolins and absolutely love the understated look and the ease of string changes. Expensive yes, but that only hurts...

    A good toolbox contains a screwdriver and a wrench, along with a hammer. Know how to use multiple tools makes you better in most things.
  24. Re: new Loar LM 600, should I buy CA bridge before set-up?

    Or you could send it to Steve Smith, who makes the CA bridges. He will give you a great setup, fit one of his bridges nicely, and get it back to you pretty quickly.
  25. Re: new Loar LM 600, should I buy CA bridge before set-up?

    Now is the time to do it. If you don't you will wonder about it until you do decide to get it done, and then you are paying twice for setup work. The Loars are great mandolins for the price, with the...
