    Re: Case weights

    Because I'm a nerd, I'd like to know the accuracy of your scale. But more important, if others are going to chime in with their weights using different scales, there's no way to compare them without...

    Re: Bowl back mandolin

    They published 416 patents on 1891-08-04, they put them out once a week. It's probably this one by Carl W. Anderson and Joseph Anderson of Chicago, but I haven't gone through them all yet.

    It depends on the plane, luggage bin dimensions vary. I would venture to say usually, but I've seen exceptions that were too short. And on regional flights with smaller planes there is often no...

    Re: mandocello MC-815 neck reinforcement?

    I think by "from the side of the fretboard" he means "from the fretboard side", i.e. the usual method described by sunburst. By "the opposite side" I think he means to excavate a channel in the back...
