This TP is from my 2002 Duff H-5 mandola. They look very similar to my eyes (especially in person, mine has much more chrome plating). It is beautiful engraving for sure, I would guess...

Velcro works for me, the self adhesive variety.

It should also be mentioed that the tail piece cover "slides" off the base. It does not "flip" up as if it was hinged. Enjoy your new obsession!!

Randy Wood is in southern Georgia just outside of Savannah in Bloomingdale. He knows a fair amount about mandolins :)

No flower pot but a really nice Gibson F-5L blond fern from 1992 signed by Steve Carlson.

Lovely rendition Colin!! It must have been the "harpsichord" solo that was calling out to your A-4. Sounded great!!

The action at the 12th fret seems too high imho and perhaps at the nut as well yielding a mandolin that you are struggling to easily play. Can you post a picture of the neck from the side showing the...
Heat and humidity from living 20+ years in Florida convinced me of the value of speed necks especially on my '56 F-12. The F-12 had a black painted finish on the neck that was extremely sticky so I...

When you have the intonation corrected, the clouds will part and the sun will shine on your motivation to play. Bad intonation is such a downer. :whistling:

I always thought that it looks like an overhead shot of a frog, definitely not a crown...:disbelief:

I have been using D'Addario EFT-74s on my Gibson F-12 and A-5L, both with F holes as I prefer phosphur bronze strings with F hole mandolins. (I'll need to find a replacement for the the EFT-74 Flat...
Not the instrument silly...the blonde holding the instrument. Oh, sorry not a mandolin. That's a Marilyn:cool:

It's the string windings (round wound) and a tight grip when sliding. I switched to D'Addario Flat Tops (no longer being made) and lightened my LH grip when sliding. It took a while but my slides are...
Much love for a 1916 blackface F that I acquired in 1975 for $650. Of the mandolins in my
current rotation, it gets the least playtime but the most appreciation when played. It is strung with D'A...
Since the Mrs. Griffith is already spoken for I "settled" for a more modern look alike, a 1992 Mr. Carlson A5-L(oar). I have lusted after one of these for many years.

I have a Gibson F-12 from 1956 serial #A24586 FON #V6292 ? which had several "modiofications" before I got it and several more since I acquired it over 20 years ago.
