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

    I spent a week at a camp where David Harvey was an instructor. Talking with him throughout the week I came away thinking wow, there's no one who knows more about Gibson mandolins than this guy. When...

    Re: Did My Own Speed Neck

    Hah! That would be the day. Re-profiling might be a bit of an overstatement. I like the U-shaped profile as shown below. Northfield's have what they call a rounded V. I found there was a slight...

    Did My Own Speed Neck

    I'm not much of a woodworker kind of guy. The only power tools I've owned are a drill & a small circular saw. But I acquired a Northfield with some of the finish on the neck worn off. The previous...

    Congrats. Sounds like things worked out perfectly. And I agree with several others - you absolutely did the right thing by letting the vendor know. In this day & age it's always good to see someone...

    I don't know if this is a non-starter for you or not but, if the store does financing, you may want to keep it & just finance the remainder of the cost. The rates, from what I've seen, are pretty...

    Earliest Tony Rice I've Heard

    1969. At one point in the interview he mentions the lack of a bass player & that Tony overdubbed the bass on an upright. I keep trying to picture that in my mind but I can't quite get there.

    Re: need advide on raising action

    That's what I wound up doing. A full turn got rid of the buzzing but it felt a bit high for playing so I lowered it by a quarter turn & now everything is fine, no buzzing but not hard to play....

    need advide on raising action

    I just received a Northfield NF-S and need to raise the action a bit. How much do you have to turn the wheel, typically, to make a noticeable difference? Should I be thinking in terms of quarter...

    Wide Nut Fever?

    Starting to see more & more mandolins featuring wide nuts. Is this a thing? Are mandolin players starting to gravitate towards a wider fretboard?

    I chose "mandoman.com" as an email address. Thought I it was a good choice until people started saying they thought it was "man-do-man". Needless to say, that account didn't last long.
