    Luigi Ricca mandolin

    My brother-in-law gave me a Luigi Ricca Mandolin. From the catalog that Jim Garber posted, I believe it is the Style 4 1/2. My brother-in-law says that it was once restored but it needs work. The...

    Re: Mandolin tailpiece

    Thanks for the input. I have decided to go with the Allen MR-2 tailpiece. It takes either loop end or ball end strings so once I use up my supply of loop end strings, I can switch and avoid the...

    Mandolin tailpiece

    I am thinking of replacing the tailpiece on my Stephen Owsley Smith mandolin. The one it has now is not the original tailpiece and is not very attractive. I like the look of the Ashton Bailey and...

    Re: octave tuned DAEA

    I had a mandola that I tuned DAEA. Same as a GDAD zouk with a capo at the 7th fret. Great for playing melody using mandolin fingering without having to reach down the neck for the high notes.

    Re: No case with Trinity College?

    Go for a Petersen (not Peterson, btw). If you order from Bill, he will stand behind the instrument and if you don't like the one you get, he will replace it.
