Thank you all very much. I told my buddy it looks like a wall-hanger to me. TigerMal

This mando was found in a local pawn shop by a buddy of mine. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks, TigerMal

Sam Bush. Tradition and innovation. Oh . . . there is no better quality.

You should check out Jonathan Mann's instruments at manndolins.com. High quality, beautiful, and reasonably priced.

I began with a Kentucky 380S and was very happy with it. Bought it for $350 - sold it at a charity auction for $450. As I learned later, professional set up is critical. I needed lower action when I...

If you haven't heard this, you should. And he has uncle-in-law Ricky on one cut.

Laps in Seven. Sam's riff at the end of "Where There's a Road" is awesome. Guests also include Jean-Luc Ponty on his song "New Country" with Sam playing violin - awesome II. And "Bringin in the...

Ditto - Sully's straps are awesome. I have two. Here's one:

I own two "Sully's Straps," and bought two more as gifts for family members. Pat Sullivan is the best. Take a close look at his vintage straps.

I have an Absaroka and a Fern by Weber. I love playing #both and do so regularly. To my relatively untrained ear, it sounds like the Absaroka has a softer tone than the Fern that I like better with...

Hello to all from another geezer (58 in November),

Started playing my mando only 1 1/2 years ago and getting better. I practice almost daily and am learning from Roland White when I can get to...

Okay - some piling on here. #I have a thinline armrest and custom TRC from Doug on my Weber Fern. #Great quality and a real pleasure to do business with.

My Dad has played banjo for over 60 years, most of which was with a local band of friends. The only professional in the group was a mandolin/fiddle player, Carroll Jordan, and as a kid I was always...

Sully's Straps in Wiekert, PA. I've bought four vintage leather straps and they're all perfect. (www.sullysstraps.com).

I loved them all, as in - what's NOT to like? It reminds me of something I've read here several times that seems very true. A master can make all quality instruments sound beautiful regardless of...

I'm going to Fanfest too. I'm a newbie and would love to hook up with your guys/gals who can really play. I'd love to learn from you!
