Just a guess that maybe it was simply to keep rosin dust from the bows, typically stored in the lid, off the violin?
I’d think it would get to be a pain with the string ends at the tuners always...

Just a guess that maybe it was simply to keep rosin dust from the bows, typically stored in the lid, off the violin?

On closer reading I do see that this is in relation to slotted peg heads, but the "slop" in tuning, I think, has much to do with the precision of the manufacturing as anything. Regardless of...
To me, "over/under" is much more obvious because I think of "upside down" tuners as (e.g.) worm-over tuners installed in a location designed worm-under ones, i.e., so the turning of the keys goes...
I don't, honestly, and I play guitar at least as much as mandolin (neither not enough). And, there are a couple acoustic-guitar focused forums where I can find hundreds of guitars for sale, never...
The older ('09) MD815v I got from a friend came in a case like that - very much like a "Hill style" violin case. I don't know how much they've changed, but it's a nice case with lots of storage room....
Eastman does not make a wide nut and their standard is a bit narrower than the nominal 1 1/8”. Northfield Calhoun (WN) might work, if you can find one. Maybe Big Muddy, but their website is not clear...
Yes, Aged-Tone is Bourgeois for “torrified.” I had a chance to play one of the earlier Martin “Authentic” models with a torrified top, as well as an actual 1930s model of the same guitar and an...
I like this one - not quite sure if this fits or not.
Safe Harbor - Noah Fishman & Baron Collins-Hill
And, for something a bit further afield, maybe.
Recording of the Dawn - Chris Acquavella
The "boiling the frog" method works up to the point where it doesn't. And, maybe you can get the tempo there, but, then, there's other things wrong. As others have said, sometimes it's a good idea to...
Most of the modern fiberglass cases have decent closure. I like my Tura [mandolin] case, but my Crossrock guitar case seems fine, too. I had the Recurve case with my NF, and it seemed adequate, but...
If you have a luggage repair shop they should be able to handle something like that. Might cost more than it’s worth, i.e., vs a new case or gig bag with backpack straps.
I kind of agree with what @Jay posted, though, admittedly, direct recording of the signal is not going to sound like your instrument going into a PA. However, what you have at home may not respond...
Your model numbers may be scrambled. I'd guess maybe the Eastman MD515 and Kentucky KM850 are more comparable, unless you need the pickup of the Eastman MD615. I've not played either of those...
I don't remember that. Just clicking on the Register link, it does a quick test if you can pick an image out, asks for birthdate info, and then the next page has timezone, etc. - didn't go any...
Crawling around on my hands and knees looking for runaway grommets is one of my favorite things, just after poking a hole in one of my fingers with a trimmed off A-string.
A little Bondo and some black rattle-can lacquer - fix that right up :).
The Tech21 folks had a (SansAmp Character) series - maybe still do, and that was cloned by Joyo. Individual pedals for separate sounds, like Fender, Vox, and Marshall (e.g.). I had a couple of the...
Crossrock makes one. Haven’t seen one but some of their products meet folks needs at a good price. I have one of their guitar cases, but returned their A/F mandolin case.
...
Hmm. I don't mention a Crossrock here, so I'm a bit confused, maybe the "you" is the OP (who probably has a case by now). But [tangentially], where I did mention it, if it was on this forum, it was...
Dredging up this older post because I'd forgotten about it, but wanted to add that Superior A-style case does hold a mandolin with a Tone-Gard, just fine. It fits both my Kentucky (which it should, I...
That's just great! Thanks.
FD, I played in a couple of praise teams for several years, not to mention choirs, brass quintets, and even full orchestras in churches. (I don't do that anymore, and haven't for just over 10 years.)...
They only have a few [Eastmans] actually hanging out in the shop, and they might have a couple other mandolins on the wall that they don't list on Reverb. They used to carry Collings but I haven't...
After reading both posts, I'm not quite sure what you're asking!
If it's "Nashville Numbering" system, a single number by itself means that's the chord that is played for the entire measure. The...
Well, yes, you've answered your own question. In statistics, we call those "outliers." Mass production relies on building to a single spec, essentially, recognizing that all the parts are not 100%...
