Stunning - should be a tailpiece of a lifetime

I happened onto this video on youtube and thought it was great -

Nice, looks like an efficient and productive shop.

I am sure that several builders could build a two point. Budget? If there are any builders that you favor you might contact them to see. Here are a few that come to mind -
Randy Wood
Will Kimble...

Not sure how much more traditional you can get than skip Kelley -

Matt Ruhland is closer to probably closer to $4500 for an A, but they are very...

For some reason when my strings are nearing the end of their life the A string will not stay in tune. Lets me know it is time for a new set. Not sure why?

Come good tabs from this site and where I got mine -

I ran across this the other day. Great rendition, simple, clean and a great recording. Sorry but no mandolin content. There are some amazing and talented musician's in there 20' and 30's. To bad they...

I am a mediocre player at best but I have been lucky to have been the care taker of some really fine mandolins of the past six years. So take this my thoughts with a grain of salt.

That one is legit. It was for sale on Reverb for sure and I think it was listed here as well. You might notice he also has over a 1000 transactions all with positive reviews.

If you like the sound of that Collings MT you might look in that direction. But be aware that a player, strings and pick can dramatically effect/change the sound of a mandolin. I have a Collings MT-2...

Well if you like mandolin I can't see how you could not like John Reischman.

"It is in fair to good condition" - I would hate to see poor or rough condition

I have been fortunate to have had a mandolin with a James tailpiece for the past 1 1/2 years. They are expensive but really nice. Yesterday I changed the strings on a mandolin with the Allen TR2...

The White sounds really good. To bad you are having issues with carpal tunnel. We have heard enough from you to know that you are a much better player so it must be really bothering you. To ban you...

Nice..great playing, very clean.

I understand the draw to and F5 but I was cured when I received a special A5 mandolin a few years ago. For me it is all about tone and playability. Tim O'Brien seems to have managed fine with an A5...

Pheffernan beat me to it - the Morris could be a really good mandolin and keep you happy for quite a while

Hopefully you were able to have yours removed before it ruptured. I was out on a Saturday bike ride with a group and started feeling bad. We usually went to a bakery or deli after the ride. I got off...

I do have some experience with these. All of them over my ability and can be good to great mandolins. I tend to like the traditional dry woody bluegrass type mandolins for sound. So take my opinion...

This would be a big upgrade and a great value -

I can't give you specific information on the 855 but Kentucky overall is making some really good mandolins. This is a mid tier mandolin in the line up so should be good to very good. Two things about...

I tried several strings on my A mandolin. It is a great mandolin but leans toward the modern sound and I like the traditional dry woody sound. With the Curt Mangan Monel strings I get close to that...
