Thanks Charlie, for the information TkL mandolin cases.
I’m trying to locate a mandolin case that will fits my 1919 Martin Style C mandolin in excellent condition. I have the old mandolin case. However, I want to protect this beautiful old Martin Style...
You are right, it is an old martin. It’s a 1950 Martin Style 20S. I don’t know what the “S” stands for on these old Martin mandolins. There were only 30 of these mandolins made. They are a...
Mandolin question for the builders and repair folks here on the Mandolin Cafe. Is the seam starting to separate on the back or is it the old finish on this old mandolin?

I see where The Music Emporium received another Girouard Griffith Tribute A5 from Max and Lauri Girouard. TME posted it on the Mandolin Classified section today and it SOLD immediately! Speaking...
Thanks for the advice on using D’Addario J74 for Adirondack topped mandolins and NB or Mangan mediums string on European topped mandolins. It looks like I need to purchase some new strings because I...
Joe, definitely has the sound dialed in on his mandolins. My Campanella Due’ has Italian Spruce top with Euro Maple (Austria) back and sides. The narrow grained Spruce top is lightweight, and...
To answer your question, he did not recommend those particular strings. I have used them before on some of my other mandolins in the past. Since I like light strings he recommend using Elixir...
I must say it was great working with Joe during the building process from the very start. During the turnover of the Campanella Due’ he took the time to explain things in detail on the way he builds...
I’m looking for recommendations for stings to put on my Campanella Due’ that Joe Cleary made for me. I like light strings and Elixir is no longer making them.

I have never played a Gibson A5L and can’t make any comments on it. But I must say the sound of my 1987 Flatiron Artist A5 is unbelievable, it was made in November 1987 and signed by Dennis Balian. ...
Thanks for the information on how you used the saddle bags in your guitars and mandolins. After getting positive results from everyone that used them I decided to try the Boveda Humidity Packs.
Jill,
Thanks for the skinny on putting just one under the headstock in the mandolin case. Also, that is great to hear that you never had a packet break before!
It’s that time of year again and the humidity is dropping. I have been looking at getting some Boveda Humidity-Packs and putting two of them in my mandolin cases to keep the humidity between 45-50%...
