I have an A-Solid I bought in 2004 from Folk of the Wood. Maybe 2 or 3 years ago I had a question about it and emailed them. They were quick to respond. I'd email that pic to the company and ask, bet...

So I compared the course spacing on it to the spacing on the Michael Kelly and have and it's noticeably wider. Gonna get a new nut and see how that goes.

It's flat, as is any other I have played.

So I have a Nashville made Flatiron A that I love but am having some issues with because of the narrow neck. I don't have big hands so didn't think this would be much of an issue but am having a lot...

These are such great instruments, congrats! I have a very similar one (https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/139772-Bought-a-Stradolin-Serial-Number). I think its a laminate back and sides with...

My buddy Jon who made this would love for it to be shared.

Thanks

My buddy tried to get a bunch of people he knew to record parts to a song he wrote, all on their own, from home. I added a little basic mando (so there is mando content). Just a fun little project....

What a lineup this will be. Can't wait to hear it.

The preamp I'm getting has a 1/4" balanced out so my plan is to get a 1/4" to male XLR. Then down the line may get an amp for monitor use. Its nice, the preamp has a reverb setting on it but has an...

When you go preamp-> board are you using a balanced out?

I may get some kind of amp to use as a monitor but its really the mixing board part that I'm curious about.

I am not sure if it is necessary to have both but I have an active DI and am considering buying a Boss acoustic preamp pedal. The pedal has a notch filter on it which seems like it would be helpful,...

What do you think Thile means at the end of the video when he says Loar was "going nuts" with his personal mandolin?

Looks great but is about 4" too long for my hands. Had enough trouble with the A chord fingering on the 20.5" Fender.

Yeah, Western CT is definitely a dead zone for anything mandolin related. That's why I had to go to the net for an octave. Luckily, I got it from Reverb and despite it being sold as-is,...

Thanks for the advice. The top on it was sunken in as well. I thought I could just humidify it to bring it back but on closer inspection realized the bracing was cracked. It's going back to whence...

Why I keep buying instruments online I don't know. In this case I guess the complete lack of octaves anywhere near me is why. I bought a cheapo fender off reverb just to try out the octave. Said it...

Thanks. Just curious really, not in market for a new mando but just was wondering what would happen if you tried to remove the spray paint. It's too bad this guy didn't do 15 minutes of research,...

could the paint be stripped off without totally ruining the instrument? I'm just asking out of curiosity, no interest in it myself.

Last night they celebrated Del's 80th birthday (which was in February!) at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY. What a show. Del's band with special guests, Jerry Douglas, Dawg, Drew Emmit and...

Randy, they did that one we went and then another one a couple months later but it was the same weekend as Grey Fox so I don't think they had much of a turn out. I know I was at Grey Fox. Haven't...

My local brewery, Nod Hill Brewery, in Ridgefield, CT had a mandolin inspired beer. The owner of the place plays mando in a band that plays at the tap room once a month. They are a good group...

Maybe this is on the site somewhere already but I couldn't find it. I just stumbled on this video from the 80's. He's holding his F4 the whole interview. Starts playing it around the 8:00 minute...

Good news everybody!

Lost one of the greatest lyricists of all time. The article says his favorite lyric was from Ripple, “Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men.” Dawg played on the...
