Thanks. I will have to take measurements to see if one of his stock items fits. He apparently no longer does custom made.

Does anyone know of a tone guard for a mandocello?
Thanks for the advice on chaning strings; however, would the strings cause chatter (by the way it seems to be only on the open strings and it just began to happen.) So, if the nut is the likely...
My mandocello has just begun to chatter on the A and D strings. To damp the chatter I have placed grommets at both ends of both strings, above the nut and below the bridge AND put a piece of rubber...

Finally the L&H MC label
At the first step, when I clicked "choose file", it didn't give me the shortcuts, it gave me a file list.
I had to move the shortcut to the file list. When I clicked the file list, all I got was...
OK - finally, after a year of dithering on this subject, I followed your instructions, to a point of failure. I created the shortcut. I clicked on the symbol. Two options appeared: computer or URL....
I finally took a photo of the label. HOW DO YOU SEND A PHOTO TO THIS THREAD????
Suppose that the numbering began with 101 so that all of the frames had three digits. Then you would only have 432. Approximately what year did that one leave the factory?
OR: each of the three...
I don't know whether anyone has uncovered instruments with duplicate frame numbers. If there were two instruments of different sizes with the same number, it would indicate separate frame numbering...
QUERY: As I understand it, the donation is to be made by the seller, not the buyer. Is that true? I bought an instrument through an advertisement listed on the Cafe in the summer of 2022. How can I...
Hmmm. I don't own any other L&H instruments but I know others who have one. Perhaps I can check them. In any event, if I am correct and there is a unique set of serial numbers for the L&H MCs, AND,...
I assume that 532 is the serial number on the paper sticker. Can you see the serial number stenciled on the inside of the side frame?? My MC which has serial number 10 on the paper sticker has a...
Where is Mando Camp North being held?

Which of the quartet was the last to be acquired?
In a discussion of L&H cellos a few months ago there was speculation about how many or few were made. The number kept dropping to barely triple figures. (What is the serial number on your cello and...
Don't Campanella mandolins tend to have a wide grain?
My family has a bent top Martin mandolin of unknown age. It was acquired in the late 1950s. It is branded "Oliver Ditson". I don't have the instrument handy to provide a photo tell you the serial...
Will the crazing affect the tone of the instrument?
It's over 100 years old and they stopped making them in the 20s. There AREN'T any new ones. I will look for an invisible space, or live with it. Thanks to all for the advice.
The finish on my vintage instrument is checking, under the strings. My pick does not go that deep when I play so it is not caused by pick strikes. The instrument was worked on and refinished before...
The New York Mandolin Orchestra owns TWO Gibson mandobasses, a black one and a sunburst one. Both have had some reconstruction work done on them and both were set up by Lynn Hardy in Woodstock NY a...
I acquired my 1917 L&H mandocello in the summer of 2022. The seller had strung it the day before he listed it, with D'addario EJ78 strings (and threw in an extra set as well). I have not replaced...
HOWEVER, it should still be appropriate to use the term mando-cello or mando-bass, hyphenated or not.
