Very cool and impervious to weather. Emerald Guitars from Ireland doing amazing work in carbon fiber guitars. No affiliation

Well, I guess it ain’t rocket science. “Small mandolin” yielded a result, so I’ll start there. :cool:
Thanks!

These are neat! Seems like good for travel. What name would you search for this?

Thanks for the link! I’ll reach out to Cumberland for a recommendation. Need to know if it’s a 5” or 10” radius.

Thanks for confirming that it’s a straight forward swap. I have a good luthier locally for the swap, but it never occurred to me to make a custom saddle as the intonation should be roughly the same...

Hi,
I’m interested in a couple of the oval hole, snake head, ‘24 Gibson’s in the classifieds and will need to convert to lefty. I read they have vertical bracing (symmetrical) behind the oval hole....

Thanks, I think that ballpark is helpful and agree it could be a good value, depending on condition.

Sharing the sound of my recently acquired Pango Alfanti octave mandolin with the TI mittel strings. Happy with the sound, playability and craftsmanship. I think $1500 is the reasonable limit for...

I have a tenor guitar with 23” scale, an octave mandolin with 20” scale and formerly owned the Eastman with 21.5” scale. The 20” is absolutely easier to play melody and fiddle tunes if that’s your...

I’m a dominant lefty and could never play righty. Like many things, I think handedness falls on a spectrum and some lefty’s can play righty, while for others it’s not feasible. It’s hard enough to...

Hi. I just bought the Mittel’s for a 20” scale length octave mandolin and the G string fit with only 2-3mm before the black fabric overlapped the nut. It couldn’t have fit a longer scale length...
