Welcome! Have you bought a mandolin yet?

Coming to mandolin from guitar, there is a faction that is vehemently anti-standard notation. This same faction is also usually anti-music theory.

It comes from the guitar’s roots as a folk...

There was a rumor that they might start shipping in April.

What’s the song lyric? “Such a fool to believe….”

Frantically watching this thread for people posting that they got a tracking number from Klos

The new Klos carbon fiber mandolin ships with XS mediums. I've got two packs of XS lights waiting to go on after the new strings wear out. Hopefully that's a good, long time off.

Because D minor is the saddest key.

“Will the sound of such an instrument develop and improve with extended play, like a wood instrument?”

Regarding the buying of "high end" mandolins (or guitars, or cars, or watches, or any other "boy toy" that catches your eye): If you want the mandolin, and you can afford the mandolin without causing...

I own just about every mandolin method book Amazon knows about, plus a pile that they don’t. While I stand by my recommendation for OP because he can read music, I can’t and my favorite mandolin...

I'm heading north for the eclipse and staying the night. Will hit Northern Lights on the way home on Tuesday.

The best Zero to Hero mandolin method book for someone who can read music is...

And you can tune a 4-string tenor guitar to the same tuning as the tenor banjo, which would also be the same tuning as the 8-string octave mandolin.

Learn one, you've learned three. ;)

Quite often people will come hear and post awesome deals being offered by Amazon on mandolins, most usually mid- to high-tier Kentucky mandolins. And I've often wondered how it is that those deals...

Tenor banjo?

Speaking of the available built in preamp, do we know what kind of battery the Klos preamp uses?

I think I asked about this earlier in this thread. The consensus I got from the replies was that both items are to protect the mandolin from wear, and carbon fiber isn’t prone to wear.

If you can manage a G chop chord, then Jerry Rosa of Rosa String Works has an inexpensive video you can download from his website called Nashville Number System For Mandolin. It’s actually quite...

FWIW The Music Emporium currently has a sunburst Eastman 815/v on the wall. I’ve played three Eastman 815/v mandolins. One was awesome, one was just OK, and one was a flat dud. I’m interested is...

I checked the Klos website to see if they were any case stickers that they offer for sale, and I didn’t see any. Couldn’t find any pictures of any on Google, either.

I ordered the fiberglass...
