Holds mandolin/fiddle securely in a position convenient for string changing and other maintenance. Folds up neatly when not in use.

My short bit of research seems to indicate I can ship a small package to Scotland for somewhere around $16-18. I make and mail armrest inside the US almost daily for right at $5 for postage. ...

I would not expect an LS-5 to sell for anywhere close to $5000. A Ward Elliot S-5 in good shape is probably going be in the $5000 range for sure. I own an S-5, David Houchens built, in early 2000s....

I own and regularly use both the Arrow and Oblong Bobelok mandolin cases, and also regularly use a Calton mandolin case. I like all three.. The Calton is solid as a rock, quite heavy, but really...

I just used fabric glue to secure a couple strips of Velcro in the corner of the case to secure my humidifier tube. Works fine to prevent flopping around.

Is Anyone able to help me determine if the finish on my 2002 BRW is lacquer or varnish?
Thanks!

You can use the clear plastic pickguard material that adheres to to mando top by static adhesion only, no adhesives, peels off and on easily. I’ve used it on mandolins for 20 years, no problems. ...

Some western cedar armrests….

That’ll look good with a blue flamed
maple armrest!

I’ve a Stelling S5 mandolin from early 2000s signed by Geoff. Stunningly beautiful mandolin that’s plays really easily and sounds so good. Also have a dark walnut Stelling Whitestar banjo that’s...

Not being flippant, but the strap button on a mandolin is designed to be attached to a mandolin strap. Seems to me wrapping a pickup cord around it and then dragging the cord around where it can be...

Any kind of wood will work. A few thin coats of wipe on poly and you’re good to go.
I don’t epoxy the hardware and never have trouble. 1/4 inch of wood in...

I’d be very suspicious. Can’t be all three of those things at the same time without some magic involved.

I would recommend you consider your options as a step in another direction rather than a step up. There are literally dozens of really fine mandolin makers active today competing in the price range...

I have one of his early A5s, # 13 from 2002. Can’t imagine he got much better because this one is just exquisite. Fit and finish are excellent and it’s a really great sounding mandolin. Every bit...

I’d avoid an 1980 F5L, unless of course you get your hands on it and find it’s something special, but that’s unlikely. I’d bet it suffers from the poor quality 70s era Gibsons all experienced.

1991 F 5l from the Montana era will be about as good as you’ll find at that price point. That was most definitely not a bad time period for Gibson. All the flatirons and gibsons I’ve seen/played...

4 surgeries to right hand and 3 to left for Duypetrens contracture. Do what your therapists says and then do a little extra. You’ll be playing again in no time, in fact the playing will aid in your...

They seem to be pretty nice machines. Dad would have purchased them early 70s, maybe from Simonhoff….

Thanks Mike!
