I'm pretty sure with the FF that has the dauber in the can that the dauber is impregnated with white mineral oil. Have never used the spray type.

Bought a six pack of these. Really liked the way they felt in the hand and on the strings. Took a brand new one to a jam and after about an hour of alot of chop chord rhythm, noticed alot of...

I'm confused. In the original post the OP stated the offending string was going sharp. If the string is leaving the nut at a point behind the edge closest to the fretboard will it run sharp or flat?

I once had the same thing to happen after a string change except on the D strings. Turned out one of the new D strings was bad.

PS. I used the TR2 gold Allen

Common, I replaced the tailpiece on a LM700 with an Allen and the screw and end pin holes were a direct match. YMMV

I have an '04 MK Dragonfly custom flame that I bought new in late 04 early 05(not sure). Mine is made in Korea and is bound front and back, bound fingerboard and headstock. If I remember correctly...

Mark, thanks again for your generosity and willingness to share. The folks on this forum are the greatest bunch of people in the world. I have learned so much just reading different opinions here....

+1 on the June mandolin shop Campobello SC. Walter Johnson builds a fine mandolin and is a fine individual. There is a June F5 in the classifieds right now.

Well Johnny-Alien you finally did wind up getting a couple of responses to your question about the mandolins in question and they were favorable. I know there has been much controversy around here...

I have, though only once. A friend had a '95 or '96 Flatiron F5SB that failed at the angle where it comes over the top of the mandolin. Tore about halfway across the width of the tailpiece. I...

Count me in. Thanks jljohn.

If I am going to let tension off of all the strings I always start with the E's and work my way to the G's. May be no logic or physics to it at all, I just figure it makes sense to take the tension...

Sorry folks. I am the one that originally mixed up the terminology calling the "Original" the "Traditional". Multidon you are 100% right on that. Thanks to everyone that responded. I am perfectly...

Thanks jedennis. I also am running Cumberland bridges on 2 of my mandolins. I was just curious as to other's experiences with the Brekke wedge type bridges as I have never owned one. Thanks for your...

Who here has tried replacing a Loar type adjustable bridge with a Brekke traditional (the one with the wedges)bridge especially on a modern build? I would be very interested in your thoughts on any...

I have the Allen tailpieces like that on 3 of my mandolins. I put the loop on the tailpiece post, pull all of the slack out and capo at the first fret. Once around the tuner post and then through the...

That is nothing short of amazing. The builders here at the Cafe never cease to blow my mind with the things they are able to build and restore. I so greatly admire their talents and skills.

True to their word, just received the replacement set of EJ74's. Who can ask for better customer service than that? D'Addario certainly looks after their customers. Thanks D'Addario and George Santos.

Ok guys. Just got an email from George Santos at D'Addario. I think he is going to replace the set of EJ74's but he also requested the codes off of the individual string envelops which I regretfully...

Maybe I will just call the Mountain Monster or Ghost Hunter guys.:whistling::grin:

Yesterday I changed the strings on my mandolin. I run D'Addario J74s exclusively on all of my mandolins and J17's on my guitars. I have never encountered any problems with the brand and love the...

That's hilarious Paul. Just about caused me to spew soda into my keyboard.

My advice would be go ahead and order it with the CA. Robert is going to give the instrument a great set-up anyway. If you let him fit the bridge you won't have to go to the expense to get it done...

There is a jam in Chesness SC on Friday nights at a place called Homespun Bluegrass/Gospel. Bluegrass gospel from 7:00 til 9:00 and after that secular or gospel bluegrass until 1:30 or 2:00 in the...
