Nearly every performing artist comments about the view from the stage at the many Prescott Park shows I have attended. There have been shows with sunsets, full moons rising, watercraft of all manner...

I will admit that I would likely fail at positively identifying a CF constructed instrument if blindfold A/B comparing with a well constructed wooden instrument. I might mistake the CF mandolin for a...

Not very well! I acknowledge that many have an almost religious aversion to a F-style mandolin, as many do to, say, gold plated hardware or highly figured wood on the top of a Les Paul model guitar...

With the cost of checking baggage there is now heavy competition for carry-on overhead storage. Waiting on a flight the other day, the gate staff was on the intercom every two minutes hounding people...

Listening to the audio of the video a coupla posts up, in which the demonstrator mentions "warmth and woodiness" several times...those are precisely the characteristics I do not hear in the...

I will presume when you state "A style" you intend a mandolin with fholes? I have owned and enjoyed several A style oval hole mandolins, and a few fhole A styles including a Tut Taylor/Bob Givens...

That was a great show indeed, and I am fortunate to live a 10 minute bike ride to all of the fabulous free (donation requested) shows at Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH all summer long, every summer.

As a longtime user of case covers, I miss the convenience of having the Small Dog company located about an hour from me...I could bring them any HSC and have a cover custom fit and fabricated in a...

There most certainly is, for me anyway...it just changes day to day...

No video to see, but I have never enjoyed a mandolin/guitar duet of the tune more than this one...

Haha...joke, right??

Hoffee seals like a sarcophagus

The UMGF classifieds requires that a seller offer a 72 hour trial period and this must be stated in the ad

I would presume when a TSA employee (most of whom are not overly familiar with different types of musical instrument cases) sees this, "para-military" would be the first thought springing to mind and...

100s (1000s?) of pre-adjustable truss rod Gibson mandolins have survived all these 100+ years just fine with medium gauge strings tuned to concert pitch with no adverse effects on the neck.

Seymour Duncan offers a Fender Electric Mandolin replacement pickup

You are located in Europe? Try to find a Warwick Rok-Bag. I believe it is a German company, but I have ontained a couple in the US. They are high-quality, durable and well-padded

It's an inexpensive, import instrument...me, personally, I am not shocked. Years back, a customer brought me his Late 1980s Gibson ES-175 with the tailpiece factory mounted off center. Whilst...

The top looks like wood rejected from the orange crate factory...

This song should not be attempted by mere mortals...whichever one is responsible for the tenor part (Henry?) is coming up short...way short...of what this song needs in order to get across. However,...

Have you played one (or a 50's Byrdland)? I like the clarity of the staple pickup in the neck position, but I find the pickup intolerably bright in the bridge position. Gibson had the right combo...

With guitar, I do like that I can control the dynamics of the instrument by varying the amount of contact between the back of the guitar and my torso. For whatever inexplicable reason, less so with...

Regarding JamVal:

"I saw exactly one other player with a Tone-Gard" This greatly surprises me...I know hardly any mandolin players who play without one.

"...exactly zero other players with...
