  1. Re: Could I leave mando in car in winter while skiing?

    As a side thought.
    I have stayed places that offer to hold your luggage after you check out. It would be in their safe place, and the general public would not have access to this area.
    It might...

  3. Re: What are the chances that a moderately-priced mandolin sounds

    It can happen.
    I bought on eBay what I think is an unbranded Afanti/Pango F5 mandolin. I got it VERY inexpensively. It needed a serious setup, and a replacement full contact bridge for a broken...

    Re: D'Andrea Radex Picks

    I have been a strong supporter of these for some time now. Surprised it has taken a bit of time for them to catch on.
    I really like the 1.25. Comparable to the Bluechip in a number of ways. ...
  7. Re: How do you like your armrests (aesthetically)

    I am a firm believer in the McClung Armrests as well. They stained one to match my Collings. And they also crafted one from some left over Quilted Maple of my latest White Mandolin. I have an Ebony...

    Re: Help me spend $10k

    Have you thought of a well aged Collings MT2-V?
    The Red Spruce top has a bark, but not too direct. The aged ones have a far warmer tone, with a complex decay of the notes played.
    I know where...

    Re: My new favorite mando pick

    I too am a FIRM believer in the Radex picks.
    I introduced them to a local builder. He now often will ship a new mandolin with this pick.

    Re: I would like to find a beater

    FWIW
    I bought a Pango Asanti F5.
    I had the bridge replaced with a full contact one, and had a full setup done. I think maybe even the nut replaced.
    I was SUPER impressed.
    It continues to...

    Re: Another very used F2

    That poor thing is terribly troubled. :disbelief:
    It also looks like the seam on the back is beginning to separate. And the top may be beginning to separate from the sides.

    Re: Quilted maple in Washington

    FWIW
    Here is a pic of one of the latest builds by Tyler White. He was able to pick up a pretty amazing piece of wood from @laroseguitars. 207950
    He often has some amazing wood for sale.

    Re: Ratcliff Silverangel A #552 arrived

    FWIW
    You might want to consider NOT raising the action. It may change the sweet tone to one closer to your Barking F. The higher tension has a way of focussing the tone.

    Was this the darker finished Adi topped, or the Blonde Engelmann topped?
