Sorry I don't have the sheet music.

It's the Tarantella starting from the 3. fret going up to 7,5,3,1,0 next 5,3 on A

It's farther to New York, than by train ;-)

The 2 halves idea can work. You don't have the broken button? I had a bone button shatter but I succeeded in gluing them all back together, with superglue, and it's almost invisible.

The ring looks like soft aluminium. If you clear all the rust below it and find a tube with the right diameter, you might hammer it down. But it's only for looks, you should retain it. If you...

It looks like a ring/spacer was placed over the axle and then the axle was riveted. Maybe you can press the ring further down and then file off the riveting. The new button could be fixed with...

You're right. Because bursts are toned with toner, that will fade with light and the years, while most blondes are natural wood that will yellow/get darker with the years and light.

Here is a...

I dislike any kind of burst, except maybe a subtle. tea- or honeyburst so all my instruments have at least a natrural spruce- or cedertop. Although my Martin ukuleles only were available in mahogany....

I have a music stand with a steel plate and mobile with a magnetic cover/frame.

Here is a ruler to do with

I just received my new mandola from Hora. It's very well made and a bargain for a fully solid instrument.

It's my first Mandola, but to me it sounds really good. The only problem I noticed is the...

With 2020 almost gone and nothing used from my yearly travel account, I might as well start spending it :grin:

Just buy a bunch of 2$ hygrometers on aliexpress and mount the display outside your case.

Out of 10, I had one that was inaccurate, all the others shows within +-2 % which is good enough. You...

Use a hygrometer. Don't wait for the wood to split!!

Just buy a hole puncher in the right size. https://shop3992.hstatic.dk/upload_dir/shop/huggepibe-red.w610.h610.backdrop.wm.png

Hehe, that'll take some months. Recently started mandolin and just started Tarantella ;-)

What's wrong with the finish? It looks beautiful to me.

The nice thing about shellac is that it's so easy to repair/redo. It can be completely removed with alcohol, you can polish on top of it,...

Yes I have that but it's not exactly like the one on youtube, oh well, down to .25x time and write it down ;-)

Sell, buy, trade, there is never a "correct" value, only what you can agree on. That being said, todays new prices or used(if enough data exists) can of course be and indication of value.

Simple, cheap, effective

It was removed from the site!

A lot of times it's not possible or feasible to totally loosen all tuning screws on old instruments and there is also little space between the screws.

So I took a mini screwdriver for standard...

On my guitar I use an Irig Acoustic Stage. It has a soundhole mike and a preamplifier with some modding but best of all, 10 automatic antifeedback filters.

It can also be calibrated to your...

Why do so many mandolins have that silly looking and useless curl on the body?

I find it ugly and it must make a mandolin a lot more expensive, to make it.

It would be much more practical, to...

Never buy other peoples failed projects. It's 5 times as difficult to remedy other peoples failures than to repair an honest instrument with damage or wear.

There is a reason for their selling.
