    Re: Bobelock Arrow Mandolin Case

    I have used Bobelocks and never had a problem. I have had a black/red combination in the past (it is gone now with a mandolin that was traded) but had no issues with it while in my several year...

    Re: Best Mandolin Stand?

    Agreed. Have two of them I use on stage. Instruments are solidly supported. Have K&Ks I use around the house - but still worry about stability or knocks with those. Not the Hercules.

    Re: Another Tone Guard question

    Agree with the group. Tone Guards stay on. I use both Bobelock and Recurve cases. No prob. Like anything, carefully and gently does it - especially when it comes to a musical instrument.

    Re: Two questions about Big Mons....

    Carefully placing the instrument (wearing its Toneguard) into the case and gently pushing it down has worked just fine when I use the Recurve. When do I use the Recurve? When I need to travel light....

    Re: Do you insure your instruments?

    Allstate and separate riders. Cover whether in the house or out playing with the band, damaged or stolen. Worth the piece of mind.

    "A" strings don't stay tuned

    I have a 2019 Big Mon. One of the things I most enjoyed about it for a long time after its purchase was how stable the tuning stayed during a gig. It seemed with a reasonably new set of strings,...

    One more observation about the device. I thought I had completely unpacked it last week. Yesterday, about 30 minutes into the set, the display screen on the Polytune3 started bubbling. My initial...

    Update on the Polytune3. The band played yesterday late afternoon at a craft fair in central Maine. Hotter than blazes, the sun just radiating into the semi-enclosed bandstand we played in...

    Took Brad, Rob, and Kevin's advice. Bought a Polytune3. Marvelous bright, easy to connect to my Red-Eye Twin. Works well with both my D28 and the two mandos with K&Ks in them. Thanks for the advice...
