    Re: Silk Mando Bag Used Inside the Case

    Just a guess that maybe it was simply to keep rosin dust from the bows, typically stored in the lid, off the violin?

    I’d think it would get to be a pain with the string ends at the tuners always...
  2. Re: The downside list of Upside Down tuning machines

    On closer reading I do see that this is in relation to slotted peg heads, but the "slop" in tuning, I think, has much to do with the precision of the manufacturing as anything. Regardless of...
  3. Re: The downside list of Upside Down tuning machines

    To me, "over/under" is much more obvious because I think of "upside down" tuners as (e.g.) worm-over tuners installed in a location designed worm-under ones, i.e., so the turning of the keys goes...

    Re: I miss the Classified Guitar posts....

    I don't, honestly, and I play guitar at least as much as mandolin (neither not enough). And, there are a couple acoustic-guitar focused forums where I can find hundreds of guitars for sale, never...

    Re: Feedback on Eastman hard case?

    The older ('09) MD815v I got from a friend came in a case like that - very much like a "Hill style" violin case. I don't know how much they've changed, but it's a nice case with lots of storage room....

    Re: Advice on mandolin Upgrade

    Eastman does not make a wide nut and their standard is a bit narrower than the nominal 1 1/8”. Northfield Calhoun (WN) might work, if you can find one. Maybe Big Muddy, but their website is not clear...

    Re: Aged-tone?

    Yes, Aged-Tone is Bourgeois for “torrified.” I had a chance to play one of the earlier Martin “Authentic” models with a torrified top, as well as an actual 1930s model of the same guitar and an...
  8. Re: Artist/Album Recommendations like Punch Brothers & Sierra Hul

    I like this one - not quite sure if this fits or not.

  9. Re: Overcoming halted progress and frustration

    The "boiling the frog" method works up to the point where it doesn't. And, maybe you can get the tempo there, but, then, there's other things wrong. As others have said, sometimes it's a good idea to...
  10. Re: what's a good case for an F-style Mando...

    Most of the modern fiberglass cases have decent closure. I like my Tura [mandolin] case, but my Crossrock guitar case seems fine, too. I had the Recurve case with my NF, and it seemed adequate, but...

    Re: Adding D rings to case

    If you have a luggage repair shop they should be able to handle something like that. Might cost more than it’s worth, i.e., vs a new case or gig bag with backpack straps.
  12. Re: Best way to test preamp sounds at home?

    I kind of agree with what @Jay posted, though, admittedly, direct recording of the signal is not going to sound like your instrument going into a PA. However, what you have at home may not respond...

    Re: Eastman MD850 vs Kentucky KM615

    Your model numbers may be scrambled. I'd guess maybe the Eastman MD515 and Kentucky KM850 are more comparable, unless you need the pickup of the Eastman MD615. I've not played either of those...

    Re: Acoustic guitar forum

    I don't remember that. Just clicking on the Register link, it does a quick test if you can pick an image out, asks for birthdate info, and then the next page has timezone, etc. - didn't go any...

    Re: Grommets vs damper on tailpiece

    Crawling around on my hands and knees looking for runaway grommets is one of my favorite things, just after poking a hole in one of my fingers with a trimmed off A-string.

    Re: Amp simulator pedals

    The Tech21 folks had a (SansAmp Character) series - maybe still do, and that was cloned by Joyo. Individual pedals for separate sounds, like Fender, Vox, and Marshall (e.g.). I had a couple of the...
  18. Re: Combo Mando /Fiddle Case - Not Too Heavy

    Crossrock makes one. Haven’t seen one but some of their products meet folks needs at a good price. I have one of their guitar cases, but returned their A/F mandolin case.

    Re: Collings MT with tone-gard case?

    Hmm. I don't mention a Crossrock here, so I'm a bit confused, maybe the "you" is the OP (who probably has a case by now). But [tangentially], where I did mention it, if it was on this forum, it was...

    Re: Collings MT with tone-gard case?

    Dredging up this older post because I'd forgotten about it, but wanted to add that Superior A-style case does hold a mandolin with a Tone-Gard, just fine. It fits both my Kentucky (which it should, I...

  23. Re: Eastmans Galore at Fuller's in Houston

    They only have a few [Eastmans] actually hanging out in the shop, and they might have a couple other mandolins on the wall that they don't list on Reverb. They used to carry Collings but I haven't...

    Re: Nashville Chord changes

    After reading both posts, I'm not quite sure what you're asking!

    If it's "Nashville Numbering" system, a single number by itself means that's the chord that is played for the entire measure. The...
  25. Re: What are the chances that a moderately-priced mandolin sounds

    Well, yes, you've answered your own question. In statistics, we call those "outliers." Mass production relies on building to a single spec, essentially, recognizing that all the parts are not 100%...
