[QUOTE=Pittsburgh Bill;1898443]Does anyone know if a tone guard is made that will fit my Weber A Style mandola?
I think my mandola projects more when I consciously do not rest it against my body.

I installed one of these on my old Nugg A and it did seem to improve the sound somewhat (a little more punch and volume). I used the sandpaper that came with it and used a jig, following the...
Jerry Rosa of Rosa Stringworks makes nice antler mandolin saddles perhaps he’d be willing to make one for your OM.
NFI here; I had Perry Jones (from a classified ad here) make armrests for my ‘78Nugget A, Weber Bitterroot Mandola, and ‘15 Ellis F. All have different color finishes. He matched the colors from...
I have a really beat up M2 which I use for canoeing and camping. It’s all solid and it has very nice action/comfortable neck. It sounds a little different from any other mandolin I’ve owned, can’t...
Have you tried adjusting the pole under the e strings? I recall that making a difference. I backed the pole under the e strings so that they were closer to the strings.
Hi emando visionaries,
I have an EM200 that that really sounds nice when I run it through my RP250 into a Peavey Classic 20. There’s only a few presets that I like that are variations of the...
Interesting Frankie and Johnny trivia! There should be more MC at the blues museum for sure. I saw Yank play a set with Henry Townsend at the Big Muddy Festival on the River front; This would have...
The St Louis Sound exhibit at the MO History Museum is pretty cool, and it’s free. I’m back in town Sunday if you are still in town and want to play a few tunes.
I’ve had two fingers and a thumb on my left hand lock up. The thumb responded to hydrocortisone the two other digits did not and I had them surgically corrected. The surgery is no big deal but you...
I mentioned previously that my bobelock works for my A model and my F2. I should add that my F2 is a 3 pt, which is really hard to find a decent case for. The Bobelock accommodates it easily, fits...
I recently purchased a Bobelock combo case from great violin cases.com (I have no financial interest here). The price was great, the service was excellent, and I really like the case. The Bobelock...
That Golden Gate case looks nice. I keep my F2 3pt. in a Hiscox case. Plenty of room even with a tone guard attached. They are very solid cases if a little bulky.
I had a new fretboard put on my 09 F2 and it wasn’t too painful. Granted it was a flat board and it was a while ago but it was around $500 or so. The gentleman who did the work is retired now but...
I have a Digitech RP250 which I assume is fairly similar to your RP200. I like it even though I’m sure the newer ones are better. I play an EM200 through the 250 into a Peavy Classic 20 and I’m not...
Happy Birthday to you Mr. Kemnitzer. This 1978 A model (not numbered) was purchased from you by a dear friend of mine When you lived in Nederland, CO. I bought it from my friend in 1981 and it has...
I have an older Dobro type resonator that I had made into a cutaway because that dobro shape makes it difficult to play up past the 10th fret. It’s now a much more functional instrument and has a...
If you want, you can come camp out at my house and check out my F2 three point all you want. I'm in St. Louis, bring that Stiver!
I understand your dilemma. My main player is a Nugget A, but I also gotta have an oval, so I have a pretty beat up F2 for that. Im a big fan of Stiver mandolins, even though I've only played few. I...
I got a compensated aluminum saddle for my EM from Rigel many years ago. It fit right where the posts are so there was no modification necessary. The intonation is perfect with sustain to spare, if...
hey Ryan, I have my 1909 F2 in what looks like the TKL cases they sell at Elderly:
LTD F-Model Mandolin Case
$150.00
IN STOCK
sku: MCLTD-F
Brand: Canadian
It came in that case when I got it...
Chief, glad to see you found what you were looking for, the EM200s are hard to find. I don't think I've seen one under 2K; I have an early 60s EM200 with a compensated aluminum bridge, Price...
There's rarely any mention of a Microvox setup, I'm not sure why. A lot of violinists use them and I have never had an issue with them. They are a lot less bulky than some of the set ups discussed...
Huh? Blues is about tone and groove, of which neither one of those guys captured in that clip. Id call it speed metal grunge, devoid of soul. Not that there's anything wrong with that. They...
