    Re: Caseadillo vs Hoffee case cover?

    Is the Hoffee case cushioned, like the Casedillo, or more of a fabric cover? I like the extra padding and thermal protection that the Casedillo seems to have.

    Re: Musty Smell in the case and mandolin.

    I inherited a car with a terrible mold/mildew smell. I tried the ozone route, but didn't find it really worked. However, I used chlorine dioxide and it worked wonders. Search chlorine dioxide odor...

    Re: Case weights

    So, I checked the accuracy of my scale. A can of regular Coke, per the University of California Santa Barbara, should come in at 384 grams. Across several cans and several tests, my scale came in...

    This is not another post about wanting a lighter case, etc.

    Re: Mandolin Championship!

    So, I've just acquired this exact mandolin. And Doug, it has one of your armrests on it. What a small world. It's been knocked about a bit (with a cleated repair along the back seam) and has had a...

    Poll: Re: Do you use a Tone Gard?

    I do. I like the sound of my mandolin more when it's one. I also find it makes it a bit more stable on my body.

    Re: Crossrock Mandolin Cases

    Re: Mandolin case comparison (for A-models)

    It has raised pads at the mandolin’s three o’clock and nine o’clock. These pads are on the bottom and on the lid. There is also a pad on the lid above the neck block.

    Re: Mandolin case comparison (for A-models)

    I do mean a handle at the headstock end. I like that I can hold on to the instrument without taking up much space beyond my body. I'm less likely to bonk the case into something.

    Collings MT with tone-gard case?

    Good evening everyone.
    I have a Collings MT with a Tone-Gard. The Collings TKL case isn't deep enough and puts more pressure than I'm comfortable with on the bridge. I have Calton case that works...

    Re: Blueridge BR40T or Ibanez AVT1?

    It feels more like a lightweight tenor banjo than a guitar, if that makes sense? I have a long torso (6'6"), so it's best played with a strap for me.

    I have mine tuned GDAE using the GDA strings...

    Re: Blueridge BR40T or Ibanez AVT1?

    I have the Ibanez. I like it. It feels a bit overbuilt maybe? But it's not so much a fair comparison, with the Ibanez coming in about half the cost. It is also a different body style. I picked the...

    Re: Dunlop Primetone picks
