Randy Hogan if you can find one, I don’t know that he is still making them but check with mandomutt. Second choice is Lakota round braid. I tried many straps before I realized the most comfortable...

I’m strictly by ear, trying to read music started to mess me up. I can read some and it can be helpful if you are on your own I guess but when your out in an open jam you don’t have time to try...
Well you said not over $25 and I get that, I’ve been there, spent lots of nickels and dimes on many different picks, I got some Gibson heavy picks off eBay I liked somewhat but then I bite the bullet...
I’m sure this has been discussed before so stear me right if so. I have one of those Herco humidifiers in my Gibson hard shell case, fits snug so no banging around. However, I was recommended same...
I'm really sorry you are going through this, I'll be praying for you, hope you are feeling better soon.
I use a McClung on my mandolin from Hill Country Stringworks.
Doug Edwards does an awesome job and also made my custom truss rod cover.
I have been a lifetime member for many many years and the Gospel tunes are what I love about Ben Clark. I would be sadly disappointed if he were to change, there are plenty of other teachers out...
I had a 515 on trial, beautiful instrument, clear notes, no issues. however it was not the sound I want and I knew it would not get played enough to keep it so I sent it back. I like a more dry woody...
my dad always said "if you are going to wish, wish BIG" ;)
Shipping is reasonable
I agree with Tony, check cafe classifieds and/or reputable dealers advertised here. But anything $300 or under will definitely leave you with the temptation to upgrade that you are trying to avoid.
Have these improved? I once thought I would never buy one, I had seen and played a couple at music stores that take them straight from the box to hang on the wall. They sounded terrible and had...
I wonder how many instruments are under water right now.
F9 gets my vote ;) But easy for me considering I've never played a Kentucky and my F9 is far better than any other mandolin that I have tried. Yet.
I used one for a while but seemed like too much strap for a mandolin. I prefer a thin round braided one that will stay on in the case and more comfortable in my opinion. However, they are greatly...
Falling Leaves
Thank you all for your response. My mistake was to mention the F9 at all in this thread. I don't expect the MK to compare, I only want it at its best. And the tone isn't terrible now, it is actually...
Thank you for your string recommendation, this is the info I am looking for.
Ok, I get this. But if I asked what is the best strings recommended for my Gibson F9, would I have to get answers like this? I just want to know the best for the MK, just as I did my F9 when I first...
Yes I am always trying different picks, definitely makes a difference, thank you
Thanks, I don't need volume on this one and I know it will never sound as good as the F9 but as I stated originally I am just trying to get the best possible sound out of it. It has a sweet tone,...
I have used my medium guitar pick on my mandolin but prefer the sound of a much heavier triangle mandolin pick. If you like the sound of the guitar pick, there is no law against it.
I'm really trying to give this Michael Kelly Dragonfly a fair chance. It keeps in tune, has clear notes, beautiful mandolin but of course sounds not even close to my F9 that I tend to compare...
I think you nailed it. We were recently at an outdoor festival with Junior Sisk on stage. A storm suddenly came up and power went out and without missing a beat he and his band moved from stage area...
