Come to Crooktop, an awesome oldtime music festival in northwest PA! Lots of jamming, great music on the main stage all day, and some very good square dancing. Musicians get in free! (Aug 22,23,24)

I've been using the thomastik infeld mediums, and I REALLY can't find any other string that even comes close. I've tried the J74s, theJ62s, the FW74s, the elixer nanowebs, and they weren't remotely...
Thanks for all the feedback, guys. This community really blows me away every time I come here with a question. I've been advised to post some pictures, so I'll hopefully have those up by the end of...
I've noticed recently that my e string was too close to the edge of the finger board, so my hand would occasionally mute it when I played up the neck. To fix the problem, I loosened up the string and...
I've been doing a lot of shopping for a new pick lately and still haven't found quite the right one! Would love to give this a try! Count me in!
I'm trying to find an F style adjustable strap with no buckles, rivets, or other scratchy things. I'm surprisingly having no luck. Can anyone recommend anything?
It happens to everybody! Loved his reaction

Slipped on the ice and broke my left arm. Can't move my elbow for the next few weeks but I have a decent amount of mobility in my left hand. I REALLY miss my mando. :( Are there any exercises I can...
Vanilla,
Pain in your left hand could (though not necessarily) have a lot to do with how you're holding the mandolin. When you're sitting down, support the instrument between your legs. You...
I'd like to try some new strings on my f-5g. I've only had it for a shirt while, and I've only added one new set of strings since I got it (nanowebs - hate them). What sort of strings would be best...
Hey Bob
Ooops! I did type the wrong date. I'm leaving on JANUARY first for Finland
I've been playing my new Gibson f5g for several months now. The strings are completely worn out and the tone has started to deteriorate. The A and E strings don't sound good anymore. They sound...
Just bought a brand new Gibson f-5g for $3,600 +tax. Was originally going for $4,600. I love the instrument. I'm used to playing much lower end mandos, so the tone gave me goose bumps when I first...
I can't find a mandolin teacher in my area (probably can't afford lessons either). Especially on the instrument I'm using, it's just felt like a struggle to play lately. I'm screwing up my tone /...

This is my new favorite song :P
I want to learn some of the walk-downs that chris is doing while he's backing moose up. For example, what's he doing at...
It's an eastman md 504, oval hole. I thinkI paid around $650 for it last summer.
Thanks robert! Any idea how much I should expect to pay for a repair like this?
The nut that held the strap to the bottom of my instrument came out. My mandolin fell and the side smashed in on the coffee table. The top and bottom portions of the body are intact and it still...
Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum.. reposting to the other.

Currently considering buying a KM160 because the KM150 was out of stock. 160 costs an extra 50 bucks. Is it worth it?

I ordered an Eastman mandolin for folkmusician and his supplier is taking way longer than expected to get the mandos shipped out to him. It's been several weeks and I'm still not sure when I'll get...
Preferably a shop that does setup work before they ship it out. A large selection is obviously great as well. Thanks!
gorgeous tunes. thank you so much for taking the time to post these!
