I have a 1924 Snakehead A-1 that I would like to get entered on the archives. Is the Mandolin Archives still accepting submissions?

I hope everyone is having a good day. Here are 3 questions on semi-unrelated topics that have come to mind over the last few months; I am lumping them all into the Equipment category for ease of...

Y'all are always a wealth of information, so, hopefully, there will be somebody here who can speak from experience on this issue. Due to a virus about 5 years ago, I lost most of my hearing and have...

Don't know of any jams going on right now (but I tend to be an introvert), but Sierra Hull is appearing tonight at the Gogue Performing Arts Center. A group used to get together on a monthly basis at...

I hope that everyone is having a great holiday! I am going to try the "wrap 1st, then poke" method on my Gibson A-1. Quick question for clarification: after wrapping, do I simply poke the end of the...

I just requested the mandolin set up e-book and am looking forward to receiving it. I am trying to set up a Silverangel (very nice mandolin) that I've had for a couple of years. I am a little bit...

I may get some kickback about them being "bluegrassy" enough, but the Isaacs produce some great music.

This whole discussion reminds me of a story told by Ron Thomason, mandolin picker for the Dry Branch Fire Squad. To paraphrase:

I also hate typing on this Surface! Anyway, I put on J74CMs but think I'll try a full set of J75s next time. On a related note; i have a '24 Gibson A-1 snakehead that I've always strung with J62s...

I hate changing strings! It takes me about 2 hours and I've never gotten the hang of it. That being said, I recently vchanged the strings on my SA F-oval and put on J

I apologize for asking a non-mandolin question, but y’all are a wealth of musical knowledge and I’m sure y’all have suggestions. My 5 year-old granddaughter is wanting to play the ukulele and I was...

This reminds me of the old story about the fellow that said, "This is my Grandfather's hammer; I've replaced the head twice and the handle three times."

I went to Carter's for the 1st time a few months ago. I was standing over in the "moderately priced ($2500-$6000)" mandolins fumbling my way through a few tunes (I am not a great picker and I tend to...

It has been really interesting reading these posts about Raynaud's Syndrome. I, too, have it and it definitely has gotten worse over the years. Mean I am sitting in the office right now with at least...

Great sound and video! Thanks for getting my Friday off to a good start.

I have certainly enjoyed all the posts about Silverangel mandolins. I bought a new one (made in 2017) about a month ago and I love it! Ken's mandolins have the deep tone that I was looking for and...
