  1. Re: Want to make an octave mandolin with a guitar body

    I believe the OM kit I got from Don Kawalek has a 19" scale length. While that's a lot longer than any standard Mandolin, it's quite a bit shorter than most normal guitars, which are usually in the...
  2. Re: Want to make an octave mandolin with a guitar body

    Don is a really good guy, and I built a Octave Mandolin kit from him as well. I've thought of getting an undersized (baby style) guitar and converting it to an octave mandolin.
  3. Re: Want to make an octave mandolin with a guitar body

    I think most baby sized guitars would work. Unless you're really good I wouldn't want to convert a Taylor, just because of the quality and cost of the instrument. But I'm guessing the sound would...

    Re: N(tm)MD

    Another Dave who plays a Big Muddy/Mid-Missouri! I have two and I really enjoy mine. One is an all mahogany, and the other is maple sides with spruce top. I bought both used off eBay, and I don't...

    Re: Found this old mando in a bookstore

    That's sure an interesting build. Some temptation to get stupid and build a kit myself... maybe. But first, I'll finish my basement, which I'm in process of doing now.

    The language looks Greek, but beyond that I have no idea.

    Re: Mandolin Stand Recommendations

    I'd prefer one that fit better, so I guess I should have looked around for one.

    Re: Mandolin Stand Recommendations

    Now you all have me thinking. I've just used guitar stands, but they're not ideal for my Big Muddy, as it tends to hang on the tuners. Might have to make an investment here.

    Sounds like you got a great instrument there. My interaction with Mike has been nothing short of fantastic... and quite funny!

    Re: eBay flat tops - would ya?

    The cracked Mid-Mo jumped up pretty fast too. One thing about Big Muddy / Mid-Mo, the owner / builder is a great guy and can be contacted. He actually repaired an M-1 I picked up on eBay from a...

    Re: Different Picks for Different Instruments

    This is an interesting discussion for a newbie to the Mandolin. On acoustic guitar, I tend toward thinner picks, but have been unsure on the Mandolin. I'm hearing a lot of people here prefer...
  15. Re: So, I'm new here... and pretty new to the Mandolin

    And we've got probably a dozen various hymnals around the house!

    I like that thinking... even though my seminary training might say otherwise! :)

    Thanks Billy. I sent you a PM regarding the RH technique video.
  18. Re: So, I'm new here... and pretty new to the Mandolin

    No Bluegrass at church, just basic hymns and contemporary worship... sometimes dated worship songs. I'm also the guitarist, so I'm not at the point I can do all Mandolin, but I like throwing it in...
  19. Re: So, I'm new here... and pretty new to the Mandolin

    Wow, thanks for this info, it's super helpful already. I've seen a few of Brad Laird's videos and lessons (and learned basic chords from his site). I've got a lot of good stuff to check out... ...
  20. So, I'm new here... and pretty new to the Mandolin

    Hi all:

    Well, I think it's time for an introductory post (I've posted a few other places already). I play guitar and recently got a Mandolin. It's an Ibanez M510a basic Mandolin. I got it off...
