Thanks CES! Do you think a classic guitar hardcase might do the trick? I've been looking around and I think with a few t-shirts it might just fit. Thanks!
Hey everyone! I've got a bit of a dilemma. I'm flying back to Australia from Europe in a few weeks and I have a few guitars I am planning on shipping back with me. In particular, I have a lovely...
Thanks for the advice John. I've got a Fender Tenor Telecaster that has a pretty thin neck. Given that I can play this pretty easily, I might tune it using Irish tuning to try some mandolin chords,...
Hey Mike, thanks for the link. Sorry I took a while to reply.
I also found a book by Steve James, called Roots and Blues Mandolin (link here:...
Hey there,
I've always wanted to play mandolin. I'm enchanted by the sound of double coursed strings. I think it's beautiful. There's only one problem.
I have no fretting thumb, or more to the...
Hey there,
I recently sent an email to Leewald guitars (who appear to be making the old Amistar style guitars in the Czech Republic) and I was informed that they do still make tenor guitars. To...
Hey derbex, thanks for the advice. I ended up buying the Harley Benton. I figured that I don't want to drop close to a thousand euros on a guitar style that I might not persist with, and the reviews...
15.5 inch scale offering from Kauer guitars with a lipstick pickup. Might it be a suitable substitute for a Fender Tenor Telecaster?

Has anyone heard of these guitars? I am interested in stringed instruments with multiple courses and I thought that a nylon stringed instrument might be an option (my hand sucks). Thanks for the...
Hmmmm... I'll check out both the Thomann and the Blueridge. The only problem is that the Blueridge costs 3 times as much in my area as the Thomann does!

Hmmmm thanks for the advice guys. I am having a difficult decision here, as the Blueridge is probably a better guitar, but in my area costs three times as much as the Thomann. What about the Ibanez...
Hey there guys. I have been looking around and have found this nice acoustic tenor:...
For what it is worth, I have found a builder in South Africa of all places who makes tenor guitars. Might be worth a look:

Hello all you fine tenor guitar players! To use a quaint Australian phrase, my left hand is somewhat rooted, and therefore I am no longer equipped for playing anything other than slide or slimmer...
I know Furch have stopped making mandolins, but I have found a Furch F style for sale second hand close to where I live (well, a train ride away). Is it worth checking out? It seems like a pretty...
Hey there!
After a long absence I am considering getting into mandolin playing properly for the first time. I am tossing up between a second hand Furch mandolin (which is close to me in Europe)...
Hi Peter, thanks for your message. From what I can tell, Nick is still making them. Do you think his mandos would be serviceable as a starter instrument compared to a Eastman/Kentucky/Loar? I'm a...
Has anyone heard of these guys or played with one of their instruments? Their mandolin at $600 AU for a handmade mandolin sounds really reasonable. Thanks.
Hello everyone! Basically continuing on my quest to find a cheap practice mandolin as a first time player. I'm going to Sydney for two days next week and I thought I'd use the opportunity to see if I...
Hi guys, thanks for the advice.
I just have a few questions for Multidon. Firstly, why would you say that the Big Muddys are not necessarily good for beginners? I know the Mini Mo is a travelling...
Hi guys,
I'm still a hopeless mandolin noob trying to decide between an Eastman and a Big Muddy (probably the Mini-Mo) or a Seagull S8. The reason why I keep tossing up between the Eastman and...
Hi,
I'm looking at learning the mandolin and I've been looking at second hand instruments. Recently I was at a folk musical festival and a musician there was offering to sell me a Godin A8. In the...
I've been playing guitar for about 9 months now and I am looking to branch out into playing mandolin. I just had a moment listening to someone playing mandolin as part of a theatre production and I...
