    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Not that many areas where 'pushing the envelope' means doing your best to go back in time a 100 years. Congrats Apache and thanks for sharing your beauty. You prob don't give a whit, but I'll bet...

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    I agree . . . I just saw this 1929 being talked about over on a FB group. This top is exactly what I like to see & one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. He said it was completely original.

    Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Seems like a respectable endeavor by Gibson. Since 20k brings in the wares of practically every great mandolin builder in the world, if you had that amount budgeted, would this new Gibson reissue be...

    Re: Did My Own Speed Neck

    Nice job Nick. I love the speed neck on mine, feels and plays great. Wow, you also reprofiled the neck - what's up next, regraduating the top? ;)

    Re: Wooden tailpiece cover

    Perhaps you could find someone on Etsy. I love the idea and don't think it's a bit blingish. I think it's an untapped area for innovation, esp for the smaller builders. There's only a handful of...

    Re: Thinking Of Altering Mando

    I don't think it will necessarily decrease the value one bit. Both tweaks are very common. I don't ever recalll an ad saying, "discounted due to Fla scoop / speed neck". Many builders purposely beat...

    Re: USA-made budget mandos, who's who?

    Plenty of good choices. Older Gibson A4s can be had under 2k. I'll second Ken Ratcliff and Howard Morris (a 2pt in the classifieds). I owned a RAG F model and it was quite good for the dollars. Good...
  11. Re: Northfield vs. Northfield and Northfield vs. Gibson compariso

    My observations - I've owned two NF5-S and 3 Gibson F5 Ferns, a '03 and '13 and my keeper a 2000 Sim Daiey. The Gibsons are a bit heavier in hand and I like that. I think they also reflect an overall...

  13. Re: Good free tuner Apps that work with mandolin?

    Mandolin Tuner EM-1 is my current fav. Like all the others, but seems usefully more stable than some.

    Mandolin Tuner App

    I've tired several phone app tuners and they're all pretty good, but I'm really liking this one. Seems very easy and precise to tune with. Not affiliated, just think it's one worth trying.

    Yeah, I guess every genre has one ...... and ole Tom sure can play!
  16. Re: New Member, new mando, question about picks....

    I think that the pick is the single biggest contributor to the sound you make. Since the mando is a already a treble-ly instrument, most agree that you'll benefit from a thicker / heavier pick to...

  18. Poll: Re: Just starting out -- Should I really learn to "read music"?

    I see it basically as a cost / benefit analysis. Depending on what you're into, the benefits would vary. If you play a lot of traditional, classical style and esp. play in a group setting, the...

    Re: For Belmondo

    Jozef, I really enjoyed listening to Belmondo. I find your music very fresh and compelling with great energy. The other compositions on Momento are great - with beautiful playing all around. Thanks!

    Bridge / Saddle questions

    I'm curious about the physical dynamics involved, and to a lesser degree the impacts on proper setup.

    About what percent of downward pressure is coming from in front of the bridge and how much...
