    Re: Nashville Visit Advice

    My son and I went last Friday and it’s better than ever. I got to play a Dudenbostel and a couple other super nice (and super expensive) mandos. Sales guy found me room so I could demo an F5G(I must...

    Re: Nashville Visit Advice

    Heck no, not Hendersonville. Traffic to and from Nashville from there is a nightmare at times. Mt Juliet or Lebanon would be better in my opinion at least from there can travel Highway 70 if the...
  4. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    I’ve got an early Ratliff (#13 I think) that I was told was owned and toured with by Stephen Cagle. It’s probably my favorite that I’ve ever owned, great tone!

    I live an hour from Carter Vintage...

    They definitely are blocking those domains. A good friend of mine refuses to register there for that very reason.

    Re: New Mandolin Cafe Hat

    Khaki would be good. Blue or green as well. Pretty much anything besides black or white in my opinion; I just don't personally wear black hats(other than cowboy hats on a rare occasion).

    Re: Stringjoy

    I’m not a fan. Both pair of the Naturals I tried sounded like a half dead pair of D’Addarios and I took them off after a couple weeks. I don’t like coated strings but thought I’d try the Foxwoods too...

    That’s the main reason that I’ve consigned the last several instruments. In the past I’ve had three shipped back that were absolutely great instruments with nothing wrong. Yes, buyer paid shipping...
  10. Re: Anybody headed to SPBGMA next weekend in Nashville?

    Maybe. My son and I came down last year on Saturday morning and was a tad overwhelmed, lol. I/we live about an hour away(N/NE of Nashville).

  21. Re: Open-back banjo recommendation for a mandolin player?

    Don't forget nut width. 1-3/8" nut is a lot easier to play in my opinion. I can only tell you my preferences which are 25.5" scale, 1-3/8" nut width, and 12" pot(which not only sounds better to me,...
  22. Re: Open-back banjo recommendation for a mandolin player?

    Well I'm pretty partial to Steve Gerritsen at Stone Banjo Company. I'm still a beginner but have owned several open backs and am finally down to 3. 2 Stone's(both 12" 25.5" scale and 1.35" nut) and...
