I think it is very appropriate to comment on. I urge everyone to call, complain, demand a monetary adjustment, now, and not just a credit if you renew. A lot of people do not have the internet...

My first choice for over 2 years has been the Elixer Coated strings. They last a long time, no corrosion for over 6 months, they are smoother and easier on your fingers than the D'Addario, and they...

I play Elixer, COATED hard, 11 to 40. I change the D & G strings every 6 months, the E & A strings every 3 months, and I have never had one break. There is no tarnish or oxidation on the D & G...

I think the tonegard helps the volume a little. I also like having it on the mandolin if I set it down but not in the case. I have a mini-tuner on the peg head, so no part of the mandolin is...

I like the Elixer coated strings at 11-40. They also have a lighter set of strings.

I have the hole taped to make it more difficult to come off. BUT: I also have a piece of fishing line through the strap hole and tied to the tail piece as mentioned above for the thong. I feel very...

You should take it back and tell them you did not mean to steal it from them.

This is a post.

So what do you suggest to reduce the volume and brightness of the e-string?

What do you like or not like about GHS Silk & Steel mandolin strings? Also what comments do you have on the Elixer and D'Addario coated strings?

I ordered a Flatiron Festival F5 type mandolin about 18 months ago. There were many things that it needed for a proper set up. I did not want to do it or pay to have it done, so I took it back to a...

Herschel probably did not actually buy the Altman, but he probably was endorsing it. I am sure it is a great instrument, but he has played the old Gibson Lloyd Loar for a lot of years, and at some...

Do you prefer a narrow or broad grain in a mandolin top?

I recently requested and received by email Rob Meldrum's Mandolin se-up eBook. It has a tremendous amount of good information in it which I think would be most helpful to most mandolin players. You...
