    Re: Buzzy note

    If you have a Rockler or Woodcraft store near you they both sell veneer.

    Re: Feedback on Eastman hard case?

    BTW, it did have a shoulder strap, blanket to cover the top of the mandolin inside the case, a zippered pocket on the outside and accomodated a installed tone guard.

    Re: Feedback on Eastman hard case?

    I had a 915 wirh that case. It was quite nice. Did not have any issues with it but those plastic(?) Zippers have failed on my wifes winter coats after many years of use. Never had a problem with TSA...

    Re: Bobelock arrow case

    Well that was 3 years ago. I would call them and discuss price. If I remember right it was one of those pop ups but as I said, 3 years ago. They were very helpful on the phone.

    Re: Adding D rings to case

    I bought something like this from Mandolin Bros after Stan passed on. Getting it adjusted and installed the first time was like wrestling an octopus, installing it the second time was not much...

    Re: Adding D rings to case

    I remember reading on this forum that some people used a double tennis racket case/bag to slip their case into. Another thought is the Ohio Travel Bag company sells the parts you would need to do it...

    Did you remove all the hardware or just do a great job cutting around it?

    Very sad. May the family find peace and comfort in his memory.
  14. Re: Kentucky KM-140 -- Loop or ball end strings?

    There are many youtube videos on how to change mandolin strings. I would check out the one by David Benedict and Wayne Benson. Nothing on that particular model that I saw but you might.
  15. Re: Going out of tune upwards... Explain this to me, please!

    I played one of my mandolins yesterday that had not been played in a long while and every string was sharp. Not unusual in winter in my experience.
  16. Re: Removing Adhesive Residue - 1930s Regal 'Custom Built'

    As being a beekeeper and honey producer a lot of people use mayonnaise to remove the adhesive from returned bottles before sterilizing them. Seems harmless enough but I am no expert.

    Re: Banjo-mandolin (Dennis Pash)

    The headstock looks similar to my Weymann model 30 but mine does not have a fretboard extension. Mine also has a pop off resonator. It has a nice tone I am told. I have 2 sets of tenor banjo strings...
  18. Re: question about apps to learn to sight read

    For the notes - If you could find a print out of a scale, lets say the G scale ( because it covers all strings) that contains both notation and tab. Put your clip on tuner on the mandolin a play...

    Re: Flatiron 1N

    I had a 1983 N-1 but sold it and another to help fund another purchase. It was a toss up as to which to sell- the n-1 or the stradolin. The n-1 one left because I could get more for it. I should not...
