E-Bay really, really has to take this stuff seriously. That is a huge bit of fraud...like a fake Ferrari badge on a kit car. Pulling this off is plain despicable. If they let that go through, having...

This is kinda odd.

That was a great interview! Never miss American Roots. It's good for the soul.

Too bad you can't replace the bridge with an adjustable one, you could pick one up from Stewart-MacDonald for little cost. Just make sure the placement is right.

I've got a Gold Tone with a sunken top, so no, don't do it. They obviously have terrible quality control issues somewhere along the line. I've got one of the Romanian made and German sold OM's, its a...

Stone case company makes very very good gig bags, the banjo version fits my OM. They have handles, shoulder strap, and backpack style straps, pockets, excellent padding, and velcro straps inside to...

Awesome!

I'd like an answer to this too! There are those of us out here that are driving cars we bought for $300, laugh.

Oh yeah, School's Out was a good one. I vividly recall the first Boston lp, perhaps because it was on a 'quadraphonic' player in my friend's basement.

As for the listening part - I listen for chord progressions, and try to imagine arpeggios pulled from them. Then the melody line, the voice of the song, how would I 'sing' that with my instrument? In...

Very, very carefully.....lol I've got 80 gigs on an ipod classic, but for real listening its mostly vinyl. I convert analog to digital for a living, so I've got all the vinyl, reel to reel,...

My mandolin cost me $62 about ten years ago. It sounds and plays like a $62 mandolin. I can't even imagine holding a real instrument....laugh.

Crossing fingers

I've had two good, long time friends who owned Harley-Davidson franchises, and this is exactly the same type of mess, corporate decisions making dealing with the manufacturer almost impossible....

Wish it hadn't just snowed 11", I'd drive over to Elderly's and check that one out. For the time being I can't afford that luxurious leather.

After playing guitar for years I bought a set of Cleartone coated strings for the mando. I happen to love the feel of them, but I've always used light coated sets on my guitars. They are a lot less...

Wow that brown bag is pretty awesome. Made in USA is a high recommendation for it.

James, how did you 'fix' the sinking top of the mando? Did you just replace the whole thing?

The banjo bag was one of my first thoughts, hum tenor.... I wrote to a local Gold Tone dealer, let's see if he can get them, if not finding a tenor b bag shouldn't be too difficult. (By the way, on...

Nice, thank you!

Could anyone suggest a good fitting gig bag size for octave mando? Is there perhaps a 3/4 guitar bag or something similar that wouldn't be too long but still fit? This om is an oval hole 33 3/8"...

You know, you could do it like the savvy kids do it nowadays...you put a red paperclip up on Ebay, and keep trading up. Eventually you end up with a timeshare in Colorado... now, if I could only...

That looks like something my father the retired design engineer would think up..... yes, be afraid. lmao

Cool, all I had was the violin orchestration for this. laugh

If you've ever heard a hand made 1 watt amp, they kick serious. They are just born to overdrive when you'd got a mind to do it. Zappa and several others used tiny wattage amps for recording lps, they...

oh sorry, my original point was that I just ordered a case from instrumentalley and all I got was an auto receipt auto-response, and I was just about to ask the same questions as above. I'll let you...

I've met all the folks at Elderly's, they are only an hour and half drive west of me. They will let a gang of us sit around, play any instrument in the shop, even the ones pushing tens of thousands...
