What a nice story Charlie. It sounds as though you made a great choice and that you'll be happy for years to come. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Best of luck.

It depends on what you want and what you get. I upgraded from a Kentucky 1500 to a Randy Wood F 5 and have never regretted the decision. The price initially took my breath away but the joy, over...

Valium may be worth a try.

I gotten hooked on Elixir Nano Web medium gauge. They sound good and seem to last a long time.

fmsweeney, all you need to do is increase your medication. I say this with the knowledge that I'm not one to talk with 4 mandos.

Welcome David and nice job on the song. Best of luck to you.

A friend made me a small cloth pouch with velcro to close it. The fabric is a pink flamingo print. It's a hoot.

Like so many others, Jammin' with friends and resuming visiting old folks homes to play for the residents.

I had an early '90's KM 1000. It was decent and served me will until I was able to upgrade.

All you folks know there is medication for our disease, right?

I am grateful also. My Randy Wood F 5 has held up, or surpassed, a Gilchrist and a Gibson and many others in jams that I have attended. Randy cured my MAS.

Ouch.

Silver tuning pegs and a gold tailpiece. That's what came on my Randy Wood F 5 so if it's good for Randy it's good for me.

Don't we all just love the expertise residing in the Cafe?

That is a refreshing story, Ben, especially in these crazy times. I think the entire Cafe is happy for you.

My first great mandolin experience was when I picked up my Randy Wood F 5 at his shop. After playing a variety of mandos, including a Kentucky 1500, I was just blown away with the Randy Wood, still...

My choice is Randy Wood. IMHO his instruments are just amazing.

Good one Jim.

I have 3 stands that I got through the Guitar Center. I love them.

One who tells you to put that durn fiddle away and stick to the mandolin.

Give Elixir Nano Web a look. I love them and they seem to last a long time. I use their medium gauge.

I've finally gotten Cherokee Shuffle half-assed, I mean half mastered.

You go Zach.

Use what's comfortable for your style of playing.............period.

Welcome to our wild, wacky world, Eric. Be prepared for some great advice, a lot of fun, some sore fingers and some frustration as you learn to master the mandolin.
