Hi Scott. I have always used my first two initials and my last name (SOMorris). If you wouldn't mind another request, please change my username to my first and last name, Stacey Morris.
Thanks!
Congratulations on your new Mandolin! I have an Eastman also. Great mandolins.
Dix's book was the first I bought as well. I have 3 now, I believe. RIP Dix.
Not really at a jam, but I played one time with a very accomplished musician. I only knew a few chords and did not have my mandolin with me. When my wife mentioined I was learning to play mandolin,...
Personally, I bought a $100 mandolin to start learning to play. When it broke a saddle two times, I decided to buy a little better mandolin and bought an Eastman MD505 from TMS. I am happy with the...
Have you checked out Mandolessons.com?
Natural talent is an amazing thing to see! Thanks for the post, Dagger.
Before the pandemic, there was a guy outside our local Kroger store busking with a banjo. He could really sing. I didn't have any change, but use the cashback thing at the register. He was gone...
Thanks, Jim. I enjoyed them. My favorite movement was "Jubilatioin."
Welcome, Joe. I have an Eastman, but have heard a lot of good things about Kentucky. Enjoy!

Checkout Marilynn Mair's books on Mel Bay. They are geared more towards classical and have a lot of exercises kind of like you indicated.
Probably not the best solution, but I put just a little dab of wood glue on mine to hold it in. I didn't use much but it has stayed in now for a good while.
Welcome to the Cafe and Forum, kd8tzc! I think you will like the Eastman. I have one I bought from TMS and like it. The Eastman has a lifetime guarantee, which I think is fantastic. The tailpiece...
Try doing a search here. I remember reading about a few in that area a year or two ago. Sorry I don't remember more. Good luck!
I bought my Eastmand from Dennis at The Mandolin Store. Great experience.
Hi Stephanie. Welcome to the Cafe and Forum!
I know they are in the business of selling mandolins, but it may be helpful to talk to Dennis Vance at The Mandolin Store, tell him what you are...
The slots that are cut don't look like they are spaced uniformly to me (could just be my interpretation of the photo)
Great picture, Paul! You have mandolin playing in your blood!
This thread is interesting to me for sure. I had an E string post snap off on my Eastman MD505 a few weeks ago. I called and talked to James and Dennis at TMS, and they arranged for Eastman to send...
Thanks for posting your video, Zachary. It was a nice tune.
I liked it and the 85 bpm sounded right for that song.
Thanks for that, dhergert (and wife?). I enjoyed the song, and you did a great job!
Thanks for posting that, Chris. I was not aware he was having issues with the transplants.
