  4. Big Muddy v Mid Missouri Mandolins: Different or identical?

    Great mandolins. I know they are highly regarded, built by the same luthier, and reputed to be similar, but I was wondering if the newer Big Muddy instruments are modified or "improved upon" in any...

    Hi Simon. I think for buying any sort of "goods and services," Mandolincafe's Paypal policy is a good one and it adheres to Paypal's official guidelines.
    The people running Mandolincafe strike me as...
  8. Re: Just saw this note in classified section: What does it mean?

    I think everything is cleared up. I copied my initial quote directly from somewhere on the mandolincafe site and that quote read as if PayPal, Venmo, and Western Union would be blocked on the site. ...
  9. Re: Just saw this note in classified section: What does it mean?

    What threw me was the original wording of the guidelines instruction. If the guidelines had said "PayPal Family and Friends," I would have understood. But it didn't say that and I was not sure what...
  10. Re: Just saw this note in classified section: What does it mean?

    Hi Mandobar. With respect, I didn't view it as clear, which was why I asked the question. As you know, Paypal has two main categories of payment, or they used to: "Friends and Family," for,...

    Mandola Saddle Sunk? What do I do

    I bought a new mandola from a British builder about a month ago. He told me it had some minor cosmetic finish issues by the fingerboard binding but was otherwise in great shape. It arrived and I...
  15. Adding Padding to A Hardshell Case for a Tighter Fit?

    Thanks, Randall. The Flatirons are great. I've played a Flatiron Octave and A Flatiron mandolin. Their mandolas are very hard to find!

    Yodel-Ay-Hee Record Label

    Anybody know if the Yodel-Ay-Hee record label still exists? They were/are possibly a Canadian label. They released lots of folk, old timey, and blues performers but I can't seem to locate them.

    Hello again, Rick. I looked at that link you sent to me and I can't find any reference to Sweetwater Music on the link, only a private seller. Thanks again for your help with this.
