Thought I posted this before but I can't find it. I was born and raised in Chicago. Moved to Morton Grove, IL during high school. Went to college in Carbondale, IL. Went back to Chicago to work,...

I've used J74's for several years and they are all I every use. Had an issue a couple of years ago where I broke two e strings--not a bad product just a stupid user. Wrote to D'Addario to see if I...

Books on the way.. Should be there by end of week.

I have Hal Leonard's Book 1 and 2 and Hal Leonard's Easy Mandolin Songs. Have gone back strictly to the guitar so I have no need for these. If you PM me your address, I will be happy to send them to...

I had actually given up the mandolin and traded my last one towards a guitar. But I have been really missing the mandolin even though I'm not a great player. Been looking at them for a couple of...

Here's one for you--I was born and raised in Chicago and our first telephone was answered on 'two shorts and a long'. Of course if you were quiet you could answer anytime and listen in on the...

OK children. Did they make mandolins in 1943? Ha, I'm sure they did but I'm also quite sure a birth year mandolin is just not affordable.

I was having trouble with the middle knuckle on my index finger locking up. I think that's what some of you call rigger finger. Also had quite a bit of stiffness in my hands. Heard a lot about...

Got mine today. Will try and get them on tomorrow.

Looking around awhile back, I found several people recommended the Hohner Special 20 as a good starter. Can't remember what I paid for it but it seemed like a mid-range price. Also purchased a...

Just recently purchased an Ibanez M510 DVS mandolin. I had many reward points at Musicians Friend and wanted to use them before they expired. Added a little cash and got this. My intent was to...

Don't mean to fuel your MAS, but the only way to improve tone is to buy a better mandolin. Works every time.

I have sold a few small things and made one very good trade. Because they were small sales I never thought to make a donation, which would have been only pennies in each case. However, I will make a...

Thanks for all the replies. Pretty much thought it was a bad idea. I have another strap that is leather and only about 3/4" wide. Tied a loop on one end (actually using a round shoe lace). That...

I have The Loar 520 mandolin. This is an F style but the spacing within the scroll is very tight. The only thing I can use for the strap is a leather lace. Really don't like the looks of that...

Ok, so I played around on the Stadium mandolin for a week or so. For $149 used it wasn't bad. but of course MAS hit and I just knew I could do better on a better instrument. That's true, right? ...

Gave up on the mandolin about 8 months ago. Planned to concentrate on the guitar. But then I needed 'something else' so I bought a low end lap steel. Didn't warm to the lap steel like I thought I...

Maybe they are selling it and then will lease it back. a lot of companies do that to raise money.

I vote to remove it. I see no value in it and its probably a waste of your time.

Sorry, I meant to include my location in the post.

I am in Cordova, TN which is in the Memphis area.

Received my copy today, Dec. 28
Just glanced at it, but looks like a very well done book loaded with illustrations.

You do know it is just for the season, right. They did the same to country music which is now Country Christmas.

What is actually the difference between a Mandola and a Mandolin?

So why is UPS and FedEx so surprised. Similar happened last year. There have been predictions for increased on line shopping for months. As far as I'm concerned there is no excuse. Given that the...

Once again I want to thank Rob and highly recommend his mandolin setup ebook. I used it couple of years ago and then I changed computers and lost it. I'm in need of it again and emailed Rob who...
