    Re: Mendel octaves..

    It can be tricky. When I sell, I honor returns but the buyer pays shipping both ways. I wouldn't want anyone to have an instrument they don't want. But I also wouldn't want to miss a sale or lose...

  3. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    I haven't played any mandolins worth more than 10k. I've played most of the usual suspects in that 4-7k range and haven't found anything that beats my Girouard A5 Concert.

    Looking back, there was...

    Re: Gig Bag for Austin Clark OM's

    I think Reunion Blues, Mono, Gator Icon, etc are really a different animal than a gig bag. Great drop protection. Maybe a little less crush protection. I've carried some good gear in a Reunion...

    Re: Franks' Mandolin Kitchen

    Beautiful Frank! That A5 Special sure sounds nice on the double stops. Very rich.
  7. Re: Feasibility of adding a pin point capo

    That might be an idea. I would only want the bottom string capoed.

    The pin point capos do work just fine. I've played an instrument with them. I just don't know if you would need to get a whole...
  8. Feasibility of adding a pin point capo

    Would it be possible/feasible to add something like this:

  9. Re: Could I leave mando in car in winter while skiing?

    Hot cars are trouble, I wouldn't leave it in a car in the summer. 20 degrees, in a case, wrapped in a blanket with a few hours to acclimate before removing it from the case? I would be fine with...

    I was going to take a just quick glance at the video and then.....it's 40 minutes later.

    Good way to spend 40 minutes. Thanks Daryl!

    I really like the look of the darker shade. This could be a great first mandolin or a cost effective way to add a different sound to your collection.

    Hope to hear it in action soon.
  13. Re: Who sells a Flat-top Guitar-body Octave?

    This human converts all kinds of guitars to octave mandolins. This one is a 23 inch scale so you're in octave mandolin scale territory. Fits your price:...

    I've had two wide nut mandolins and both were uncomfortable for my left thumb. I don't know if it was the wide nut or just coincidence but it's enough evidence for me to stick with a standard nut...

    Re: quality case for short scale OM

    Mainstage will do specialty cases. You'll be over 1k but if the new OM is your lifer and if you travel a lot, maybe its worth it!

    Re: Upgrades to an Eastman MD315?

    I think the best upgrade to a 315 is a new mandolin.

    I can think of two good reasons to upgrade it:
    -If you see it as a lifelong mandolin then I would get a James Tailpiece. It probably won't...

    Re: gold tone octave vs eastman octave

    It's kind of a generalization but I think of the Eastman octave as a big mandolin and the Gold tone octave as a little Irish bouzouki.

    It's a good looking mandolin in my opinion. Not traditional but obviously you aren't going for the traditional crowd with a walnut back and sides and unique violin inspired look. I think it looks...
