Thank you. I found that the 000 cases had no clearance for the mando-style bridge, so I went with the Crossrock 16-inch jazz archtop case. It required padding, but fits nicely otherwise.

Happy to...

Hi there. Does anyone have a recommendation for a hard case for Gibson TG-37? Thank you!

Just a quick update: I managed to get my hands on a Northfield Ele-octo by directly inquiring on their site. Looking forward to hearing if anyone else has a similar story or tips to share! ~Scott

Hey there. Curious to chat with other Eleocto owners... EQ settings, pedals, videos... 🤘🏻

Hi Don (and all), Which brand of case?! I just purchased a "standard F" Crossrock case and the A8 doesn't fit. :crying:

Thanks for any ideas, Scott

How do you like the AnalogMan overdrive (love the look of it!)? I like the Smolder, but it's a little limited in tone.

I'd love to see what others are doing with their pedal boards. Feel free to ask questions.

Great to see how many people ready my question. What a community!

I went to Wood and Strings in Arlington, MA, and was told the instrument is bone dry. I do keep it in a humidified room in a...

Hi all,

Wondering about other people's experience with the Northfield Flat Top OM. Specifically, I'm wondering about the action and tone of the G string. With the Northfield set and settings (The...

Hi all,

I play mandolin with a Bluegrass/Americana/Old School Country/Fiddle Tunes group that has another mandolin player. We're looking to expand our sound, and I'm interested in hearing from...

Great ideas, MandoCafe. I read the directions and will thus will ;-)

Agreed. Bought it; love it. Not traditional, but I love it for that as have some in the "audience." Thanks, Kim.

OMG, a pick thread! ;)

I think picking the perfect pick is like picking the perfect mate- you need to shop around to KNOW you've got the perfect fit (vs. settling one one).

I've found that it's...

I hear this all the time and am dubious. I'd love to hear from a luthier what is happening in this process.

Beautiful. Do you have any sound files?!

I appreciate the time everyone's taken to reply. As for sound, I play bluegrass with folks I jam with, but I'm not looking to quit my day job. I am looking for a fitting sound. The Weber Gallatin...

Has anyone played bluegrass with someone playing a Breedlove FF? How's the chop? How's the sound on the breaks? I know that my Weber Gallatin Mahogany, for example, was hard to hear, especially on...

There isn't. I included the link to the Breedlove FF on the Mandolin Store site, only. No audio clip on the site I'm considering buying from. There are only comments in the description area.

I second the Music Emporium. It's window shopping for most, but can give you an idea of what to save for :-)

After all sorts of looking for a mandolin, I've 99% settled on this one:

A friend and I are talking about working through the book. Would anyone be interested in doing it in the social group "Song A Week" style... a chapter every two weeks (for 1 year) with entries (video...

Between this quote and the infamous butchered headstock, one must ask... Who had "a case of the Mondays?" ;)

It's a beautiful piece for two mandolins. Would anyone happen to have the tab to share?

Much appreciated!
