Would be nice if they had a demo on there web site. I called them a couple months ago and couldn’t secure a sound file. Hard to place an order without ever hearing one.

Just curious about something.
I just finished off my 3rd set of Nickel GHS N270 Strings. The strings really grew on me. Anyway, I didn't have any N270's left so I put a set of GHS A270's on. This...
I believe I recently had an epiphany regarding this subject.
A little background first. I have been playing mandolin for a year and a half and never had a in person lesson. I play a lot,...
Not mandolin related but thought this was pretty awesome!

I recently found a new one to me on YouTube called “The Black Pig.” It’s my new favorite for now. Leaned to play it in a couple days.
I know nothing about bowlbacks. Just wanted to say that you make them all sound good.
The mandolin store recently shipped me a Calton case in the perfect sized box.

Got to love Jimmy Buffett. Happy Summer music. My satellite radio on the boat stays on the Jimmy Buffett channel all summer. He has lived a great life!!
Exactly. This is what drove me to learn to play standing up, not having to worry about having that perfect chair or footrest.
May 1st can put the boat in the slip on lake Erie.
Very interesting post. Thank you for sharing.
Hi everyone,
I am fairly good at learning just about any tune that uses the 1st through 7th fret. Moving up the neck feels like reading Chinese to me. I really struggle. Looking for tips on...
I normally visit a customer in Halifax once to twice a year. Beautiful place and great seafood!Dang border patrol won’t let me in Canada since Covid though. They told me I wasn’t essential worker...
I just shipped a mandolin last week USPS. Shipping was about 50 bucks but 3K worth of insurance doubled the price to a hundred bucks. That insurance price sucks, but you should have it.
One other note since you mentioned Pava. I bought a mail order Pava based on there good reputation and I didn’t care for the tone. It was a beautiful mandolin but the tone just wasn’t my cup of tea....
I’m gonna throw this out there cause I feel that it may be of some use to someone. I recently got a new mandolin and it has a slightly different neck shape then my mandolin that I’m used to playing....
My package showed up today. Not only did FedEd Home delivery take good care of my new toy, looks like the original owner did too. Can’t barely find a mark on it. It was worth the extra week wait.

I stumbled on this band down the YouTube rabbit hole today. Ended up watching a whole concert. Loved them! Maybe not for everyone but I would go see them. I feel like I must live under a rock for not...
Nice! So that brings up a question in my mind. We know a one piece back normally is an upgrade and cost more then a two pc back. Other then esthetics, does a 1 pc back offer different / better tone...
Yep, that’s my exact same story and timing. I ordered a pretty nice mandolin so no need to risk the cold.
Anybody else have the bad luck of buying a mandolin this week and it not shipping due to the cold? Oh well, it will warm up eventually.
Not technically tipping, but last year when my dad had a triple bypass I bought donuts and pizza every day for the staff on the whole intensive care floor. They took great care of my dad and I...
Thank you very much for the reply. Nice to hear some history on this very interesting sounding mandolin.
That Kung-foo video was funny!!
I noticed my bridge was a little crooked causing the innotation to be off a little. I emailed Rob and he promptly emailed be back the e-book. Scanned through the book and adjusted my bridge per...
