This one looks impressive but may have too many articulating joints and break. I’ll write up my impressions after I receive it. ...

Last thought - I’ve always wondered why the Kindle high contrast greyscale screen technology (paperwhite?) hasn’t been adopted for use in chromatic tuners. I can see that pretty well in full...
A pet peeve of mine. I’ve sent a few notes to manufacturer’s and questioned if they’ve ever tried using their tuners outdoors? I don’t recall ever getting a reply. I like the minimalistic D’Addario...
I’ve just put on a set of their coated and uncoated phosphor bronze mandolin strings on my two mandolins. Both sound quite good. I did not run into issues with missing strings in either pack. The...
I also believe Lynn Dudenbostel is a fan of White Oak and has built several guitars using it.
Can’t comment on the origin, but that bridge has to be hard on the wrist.
There’s Stainless also as a long-life option. I’m not a big fan of it, but many are.
I use a little Walnut Oil maybe once every two years after getting the grunge off the board.
The D’Add XS (white pack) have lasted me 6-8 mos with daily play. By far, my favorite set but goodness they charge $$$ for them. I, like you, find changing strings as appealing as going to the...
I’m still looking for half of what I think I own. Something I’ve done for the past few years is to put a couple of spare picks in my cellphone case (the back). Comes in handy when the pocket thief...
Ronnie Griffin in Woodbine GA (just north of Jax) is one of my fav’s for fretwork and can usually handle setup work fairly quickly. If that’s close enough, I’d be happy to send you contact info.
I believe it’s Daley’s Reel. Many recordings of it around and a popular jam tune.
My Bobelock ‘Arrow' is a good case but I’ve always felt the top flexes a tad bit more than I would like to see. I would not feel comfortable checking it as luggage. I do like the interior and the...
Another big fan of the Radex picks. For me, the Radex 1.25 are a great inexpensive substitute to BC and others that are 20x the cost. I put a radius on one edge and find that gives me a little...
I contacted Bruce Weber a few months ago and he agreed to make this pair of “nutwheels" to install on a Cumberland bridge on my Tyler White A5. I believe these are essentially installed upside down...
FWIW, might want to check the centering of your bridge. Looks a little to the treble side, altho photos can be misleading.
Might want to check with Tyler White over in Bloomington IN. Can’t say enough good things about him and his work. http://www.whitemandolins.com
Little Rabbit I believe.
I’ve had two sets of the Rubners, and very pleased with the quality, smoothness, and price.
Wow! I encourage all in the forum family to watch - it’s truly special. Thanks to all involved.
Guitars have been located - hopefully the individual(s) responsible will be caught and face trial for theft. I have removed the original "Stolen notice" posted on 3/3.
I've had great experience as well with the XS on guitar and mando. I've got about 8 mos. (your 21 months is insane!) on my mandolin strings and play the tar out of it most evenings. I think...
Oh wow, do I win a trip to Hooterville? :cool:
Aged Tupperware, circa 1963.
Velcro to belly. ;) Actually, I've found a Tone-Gard helps. As others have mentioned, a strap can also reduce slippage.
