Sounds pretty straight forward. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I recently acquired an Ovation mandolin and so far, I'm quite pleased with the sound of the instrument plugged in. However, I'm use to a much lower action than the standard action that came on the...

First let me go ahead and admit that I am not as talented as a lot of the posters here, but I have played in a few bands mostly as a drummer. I have a very basic grasp of the guitar, dulcimer and...

I need the music/tab for this song. Can anyone help me? "Mandolin Rain by Bruce Hornsby." Saw a clip of Ricky Skaggs playing it recently and I cannot get it out of my head.

Mine arrived yesterday. Wife carried it to the local UPS store and they installed a heavy duty spiral binding for $4.00. I'm ready now!

Great looking mando. Does it have a truss rod in the neck? Can you describe the sound you are getting with its present pickup, fat, bright, etc.?

That's where I heard about them. I am curious if anyone has one or has played one and what their impressions are.

Anyone have any experience with one of these?

Thanks everyone. That indeed, is the one I have been seeing.

I have noticed on a number of utube videos a small tuner cliped to the headstock of the instrument being played. It appears to much smaller than the intellitouch that I have and less conspicuous. ...

Yesterday I acquired three new John Pearse SAROD picks for $2.98 each.
One made of ebony, one made of buffalo horn and one made of camel bone. Haven't tried them on all my mandos yet, but I'm...

I am honored to have a beautiful looking and sounding two point built by Bill Neeley of Damascus VA. Beautiful simplicity!

Can anyone tell what the factory installed strings are on the Eastman 615 Model? Are they J74s or some other brand? My Eastman is new but it was built in 2006.

I am a beginning player and have a strong desire to pursue the blues, but cannot figure out the shuffle technique on the mando. No problem on the guitar, but I can't get it in my mind how to get the...

I am not familiar with this model other than I think it was introduced around 1969 or early 1970. It has a solid scroll. How were these recieved by the mandolin public? Is the sound similar to the...

I'm thinking that I might want to tackle making my own Mando. Is there a kit out there that is more suited to a first time builder than the other? My woodworking experience is limited, but I do...

No one has anything to recommend or say good about their Bighorn?

I need some recommendations from you guys. I have a custom mahogany Gallatin and really love it. It really sings. Most of my music is non bluegrass and I cannot get a new Bighorn off my mind. I'm...

What size are the grommets?

I have to put a plug in for the High Country around Banner Elk, North Carolina. If God keeps me healthy until February, I fully intend to don some bib overalls and spend what days I have left...

I can't believe no one has mentioned "The Fields of Athenry." A beautiful song and considered by many as a national anthem.

I saw a very interesting looking Hohner Mandolin the other day, but I know very little about Hohner except that the make a decent harmonica. How do their mandolins compare with others on the market?...

Leebee,

You mentioned Terry at Harry's. By any chance are you referring to Terry at Harry's Guitar Shop in Raleigh, NC? Harry is a long time friend and I bought my last two mandolins from him. A...

The Mando Shop gets my Kudos. #Kyle Dunn is a pleasure to work with and he treats every instrument as if it were his own. #He won't ship an instrument to a customer until it plays to the best of its...

I have a custom built Mando that has a great action and wonderful sound, but has a major problem that needs to be cured. The width of the nut is only 1.03 inches and it needs to be replaced with a...
