The thing is - I really like the look of Waverly - simple and elegant, and I can't say the same about Rubners. To each their own I guess.

I haven't even realized that F-style tuners on Stewmac site are "worm under" while A-style are "worm over".
Are there any drawing on how exactly F-style tuner buttons are sitting on their shaft? I'm thinking would it be too crazy an idea to just remove glued buttons from A-style tuners and modify shafts in...
Yes could be, I'll wait for the answer. Being in Europe it makes sense at lease discuss it with him.
Just wanted to share, maybe you can give me some advice.
I want to change tuners on my A style Givens Legacy mandolin, and I want to go with Waverly (cause they are work of art). But honestly I...
Thank you for all the answers, it's much more clear now.
That sounds worrying. What's the point of having the case then if I always have to keep an eye on it and make sure nobody puts anything...
I'm thinking about buying Northfield Airloom Deluxe case for my Givens Legacy mandolin (cause I'm a bit fan of oblong cases and having extra space as well).
I've seen that Northfield announced...
as far as I know they made only 5 of them, but as it was the custom shop you probably could've bought one indeed. Not sure if they had to reinforce the top though
Btw, what's your opinion - did Martin reinforce these tenor guitars to accommodate 8 strings or were they built sturdy enough to work well with double tension?
Here's video of Lawrence Smart octave mandolin:

It might be not really representative example since bottom strings appear to be tuned in octaves...
I know it's an old thread, but have these been discontinued shortly after they started making them? I'd really like to have one. Especially if it was possible to have in black + lime green interior -...
I'm not aware of recordings, but I used to use CGDA with capo on 2nd fret on my tenor banjo, and sometimes I retuned it to CGDG to get more old-time feeling, so with capo on 2nd it was DAEA. I've...
Yes, but Pono has more shallow body and shorter scale length. I can't say I really like the sound though.
I'd probably expect more bouzouki / Andy Irwine sound from longer scale and deeper body of...
While looking for the info about Martin tenors (and specifically 0-18T) I've found that there're five 8-string tenor guitars made by Martin. I recall that I've already seen this information somewhere...
quickly googled it and found this - https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/blog/2017/05/19/a-guide-to-the-cites-law-on-rosewood-guitars/
not sure how correct they are but they claim that
According to the...
Yep in contact with him, and agree - they're super people, I wish I were closer to them
This forum rocks, I've already got some great responses / advices, thank you!
One addition to the initial topic - if you happen to know people in NL who happened to have Martin 0-18T even though...
I recall I've read a description somewhere and it was mentioned that fretboard is Brazilian Rosewood. Not sure if it was optional or all 0-18 has it or maybe description was innacurate. The sides and...
Hi,
it's been while since I posted here, but I got MAS again, and now on lookout for a good tenor guitar. I'm in Netherlands (Europe) and it's usually not easy to find a lot of different options...
I can't watch Ken Burns Country Music special, but I've found this short clip on youtube, here it looks to me like he plays National plectrum guitar.

I play CGDA on mandola and sometimes on tenor banjo as well, agree about playing in D. D on CGDA is the same fingerings as A on GDAE (which is quite a common key for fiddle tunes and sounds nice on a...
Don’t want to steal thread but I just cannot resist - any pictures/video/sound clips available? I was thinking about something like this but did not know if such a thing existed :)
I used to use standard D'Addario J74 for my Gibson tenor lute (which is long scale mandola, 21''). I felt that tension is a bit too high for an old instrument though, so I've ordered a set of custom...
As I already told you, pictures and sound clip of your "Liuto" make me question if I made the right choices when I got my instrument :) Anyway, I'm sure you'll make some great music on it, looking...
Just wanted you guys to know that new bridge is installed and my Tenor Lute sounds better than ever :) I still waiting for new lighter gauge strings to arrive cause I feel current ones are too heavy....
