    Re: Replacement bridge for Gibson A9

    I purchased one from https://www.montanalutherie.com/product/traditional-bridge-nickel/. He must have called me three or four times and contacted the original manufacturer about bridge placement. (I...

    Re: Mandolin bridge

    I put one from Bruce Weber (formerly of Weber Mandolins) https://www.montanalutherie.com/product/traditional-bridge-nickel/. It's absolutely excellent.

    Re: Kentucky Nu Hyde gig bag

    I have one and it's very nice for a light weight bag. The zippers feel strong, it is padded nicely and it will protect from scratches and minor bumps, but it is not a replacement for a case. I...

    I've only heard good things about Peg Head Nation. They have different courses for different styles also.

    Re: Charmed life picks

    It's a toss up for me between Charmed Life (I have a blue and a flame) and BlueChips. I've been tending to choose the Charmed Life more frequent for both the guitar and mandolin.

    I really enjoyed Elvis Costello.
    It's always nice to hear (almost) anyone speak intelligently and kindly.

    Re: Chris Thile's Loars

    Who thinks he's just a show off the way he just hits the strings and frets perfectly?

    Obviously there was talent he was born with, but he just plays and plays and studies. I'm sure the only...

    Re: The Kentucky

    I bought a 'shop worn' (I couldn't see a single mark on it) that I was told would need a new saddle 'eventually' (it was tilted ever so slightly), so it was priced reasonably deducting for a simple...

    Re: Cracked Bridge

    If you're interested in upgrading, and putting a bit of money, I'd recommend you speak with Bruce Weber at https://www.montanalutherie.com/ . I have a Kentucky that came with a rosewood bridge &...

    Best way to secure end pin?

    While putting on my strap, the endpin came out and was eaten by my couch. I've ordered a new one from StewMac but I was wondering, besides hand pressure, is there a better way to secure the endpin?...

    Re: How to remove Eastman tailpiece cover...

    Looking at photos of it, the mandolin appears to have a tailpiece that slides off. It is probably pretty tight. I've used a quarter and held it at a right-angle and used it to help push the top part...

    Re: What pick for what style?

    I have used BlueChips (TAD 40's) a lot for guitar & mandolin but recently have been using a Charmed Life ntr-1.15. I find that the Charmed Life Pics hold their own against BlueChips. I was dropped on...

  18. Re: Kentucky E strings suddenly not able to play B hitting fret a

    Thanks to everyone. I was able to raise the bridge after measuring and removing the string tension. I knew what I needed to do. I've just never really worked on a mandolin other than changing the...
  19. Re: Kentucky E strings suddenly not able to play B hitting fret a

    I have no intention of fooling with the truss rod. I know enough about truss rods in guitars not to use that as a first thing to try.

    I have Bob's book. I'll take a look at the youtube video. What should the measurement be? (I know this will be a range.)

    Thanks for looking at this. I purchased a Kentucky oval KM272 from a reputable shop and it was set up (as far as I can tell) well. (Perhaps the action was a little low, but I could still fret each...
