Heh since I love folk I'd like to get an oval hole some day too, the KM-174 looks quite promising but maybe this one would be my one in a lifetime buy and I'd go for something like a Collings MT-O,...

Thanks I ordered some J74s a couple of days ago because many people here recommend them. I also have some Martin light strings (.010-.34) that I always used on my Soprancister (no truss rod so light...
So since I was asked to post a couple of pics, here my KM-505. It is my first Kentucky and well we'll see what comes next :D.

Thanks, yeah I'd call it excellent as well but I didnt want to shout too much about it.... I was a bit scared I might overdo it with my enthusiasm :D.
Where do I find this thread? (Uh I'll try to...
Hi,
So after I've been playing for quite a while now I figured out one way to make it easier to get better would be to buy a better mandolin.
Now originally I wanted to make this one in a lifetime...
Well if you could buy Gibson Mandolins in germany at any other shop than thomann I'd be happy to give them some german money, for I could afford at least something like an A-9 and yet I cant buy...
A real beauty ._.
Heh just read the full article that would have answered my question anyway :redface: . Well thanks for the kind answer :D
Beautiful instrument, looks like something you'd use for all types of folk music, doesnt it?
And maybe a bit more stupid question since I'm not all that knowledgable about mandolin builders, how...
I have to agree with JeffD here. As a child and teenager I learned accordion (Piano Accordion). We played and learned all types of music ranging from folk around the world to latest pop music and...
Hi Forum,
Usually I've used D'Addario J64 light gauge strings on my flat top mandolin, but lately I got into an expiremental mood and tried out a pack of Martin 80/20 Bronze strings (.010-.034)...
Looks pretty amazing :O
How does it sound! I could imagine Carbon-Fibre to have lots of "swing" going on, would be awesome to hear its sound :O
Ahaha ok that is pretty cool, I first thought of a toilette seat, so I wasnt that far away. Really awesome :D
Beauitful instruments.Uhm without sounding inpolite, what is the white one on the left side made of? Looks pretty interesting :D.
And that A-Style mandolin, real beauty.
On this forum I found a thread where there was a picture of what fret produces what note. Thing is I was able to read and play by standard notation on my accordion, but I NEVER grasped the concept of...
Beautiful instrument, I'd love to get my hands on a "normal" mando-banjo some day, I think those instruments are extremely funny (espacily the sound hehe).
What helped me was the advice to make sure you REALLY use your hand and your wrist to strum the strings. Like not using your fingers to make small movements but always go over the strings moving your...
Very nice instruments, for me as a thuringian I always feel a bit ashamed that I cant play a thuringian Waldzither :redface:
Hi guys,
I suppose most people in this forum are actually american or not from a german country to say the least. Yet I wondered if anybody in here will be visiting this years Cister Symposium in...
While I'm normally a big fan of natural looking instruments I have to say: this looks simply amazing I'm totally fascinated *_*
Well for me it is probably... Frank Wakefield, Sierra Hull (darn that girl is cute ^_^) and Styx with Boat on the River.... well and the Dubliners because it always looked so funny seeing Barney play...
Thanks a lot :grin:, well I think it is rather easy to string this instrument, but I have nothing to compare really. The only other mandolin (I have) is an old german styled mandolin (a bit more tear...
Oh they look beautiful, really nice (also nice decoration :grin: )
Hi everybody,
I'm new to this forum and the world of mandolin playing, so I thought the best way to introduce myself is to show pics of my very first own mandolin.
It is a portuguese styled...
