Thank you for the info. I just messaged Vernon to see what he has to say. 😊 EE

Not sure I understand this post. Yep you like Ward. What’s the No? Mean

I have heard Vernon Hughes name mentioned before. And I have been to Bishops shop a couple of times with a friend of mine for some Guitar work. I had thought about him also. I wasn't sure if he did...

That's a good idea too. Thanks for that. EE

That's a good thought too. Thanks for that.

I just tried to contact Jerry through Facebook. I got a reply that says he is not currently taking any new work. Just passing that along. Thanks, EE

Thanks ssjk. That would be a reasonable distance also. I'm actually checking for the guy who plays mandolin with me. His older F5G is in need of some attention. I play some mandolin also. But...

Thank you. I actually had Ritchie recut the the neck heal on one of my prewar Gibson banjos a couple of years ago, and he did a great job. I dont know why I didn't think about him. I'm sure he can do...

Do any of you know of a really good mando repair shop in Va that does good refret and setup. Im in Elkton Va so the closer the better. Just looking for someone that has a good reputation. Thanks.

I hate it wasn't being supported. I looked at the guitar section almost every day. 😥

I started mandolin about three years ago. So I don't call myself a real player. But I really enjoy it. I have my forth mandolin now. Moved up to a Northfield Big Mon in March. I love it. And my...

I'm a little slow getting back to this thread. I sold my F9 Gibson and bought the Engleman top Big Mon. I was a little worried about buying and not being able to hear it first. Although I did hear it...

I've had a lot of tuners. The Peterson is my favorite. It takes a bit to get used to it. But it is the most accurate, in my opinion, of all I have had. I think you will like it. EE

I have a TPR50 and a CT55. l like both. They are in the Heavy category I think. Sometime I prefer the rounded corner on the TPR50. And the Chris Thile is a little larger pick. Go on their website and...

Any one played both Engleman and Red Spruce in the Northfield Big Mons. Ive listened to a lot of you tube clips. Cant make my mind up. Any comment from the Cafe would be interesting. Thanks EE

Any suggestions for good instrument dealers, maybe some good mandolins in or near Gettysburg Pa. I did a little searching on line. Didnt come up with anything. Thanks. EE

I see Bryan Kimsey has closed his shop. Just curious if anyone knows why? Hope he is Ok. With that said, who is very reputable at refretting and setting up a mandolin? Thanks,EE.

Wanted to thank Rob for taking his time to send me his ebook. Great!!! EE

I will try the EVO when mine needs a fret job for sure. :)

I have one of the bridge jigs, from stewmac. It works really good. Pricey, like most of their stuff.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't played a mando with the larger frets. Maybe I will get a chance to some time soon. Mine doesn't need refretting. I'm just thinking down the road a bit. I have heard...

What do most builders use? Do you think there are advantages to small or larger frets. I have a 2015 F9. I assume its considered to have the small frets. I have heard larger frets may play easier? I...

Im not quite old enough yet to get in to the grocery store early yet, not to far off, lol. As I've said on here before, I have only been learning mandolin about 2 years. I bought a used 2015 Gibson...

I sent Rob an email Tuesday in hopes of getting his setup manual. So far I havent heard anything. Maybe he is busy. EE
