These are nice imho: I'm not sure what the prices might be on a used one these days but might be within your parameters. Good luck!

When I listen to your tune and then listen to what I recorded, the phrase(as related to my playing)...

Eric, thanks for the encouragement, I did see that one. Fyi...my lovely better half returned from her trip!
Lol..I will need to go back and listen to your lovely piece again Don. I listen once and turned on my laptop. You are my songwriting hero! It was offered out of respect and as I recall your piece was...
My wife has been out of town for several days. So..for me that means staying up late and picking mando and making up stuff that is "music-like". Here is one of many "music like tunes" from my...
Thanks for the tune tmsweeney..although I can't really play Tony/Dawg music, it's also the gold standard for my listening preferences. Those guys and others really opened my eyes when I was in my...

This is my intervention...no new mandolins for me. Lol..I wasn't looking at any particular mandos today but now that you mentioned it rcc56 I better go...
Sound advice...but "Italian Spruce"...:)
It's been a few years since I owned one of each but the 5 bar (to the best of my memory) had more low end. Seems like it was also throwing off more overtones. Kevin thanks for your generous offer:)
Lol...at least I know I'm not alone in my affliction:) Thank you, gentlemen. Bill, I would need to take you up on your generous offer!
I'm uncertain why this happens but when my wife/partner/buddy is gone for any period of time MAS creeps up on me. There is no logic and I am so, so happy with my two current F5's.
All of that to...

I haven't played this particular f5 in months, until a couple of mins ago. I placed some nickel & steel strings on and was struck by how little sustain...
Variations on a theme..

Hi Crazydiver...I won't speculate on your question about Joe's F5 finish. Whatever it is I like it, alot. Having said that, the last thing I should be thinking about is buying another mandolin. And...

If anyone has overcome trigger finger and has suggestions on that I am all ears. Tremolo seems to be especially challenging.(this particular recording has clearly "borrowed" from a well known tune. I...
I have been enjoying/watching some of the instructional videos by Wayne Benson online. Always such a pleasure to learn from so many great players in the community. Thank you Sir.
I thought it might be a little bit of fun to compare a couple of different mandos in these original recordings i.e. "original doodles" If this works right I tried to place a non mando recording in...
Full on foolishness Alert...not to be taken seriously.

Love pick'in this F5.
Yeah, sorry Jim, I knew that too and didn't trust my old man memory. My bad.
That sure is a pretty looking F5 on/in the classifieds:/)
Does anyone have any first hand experience with it by chance? I am a long-time fan.

I'm working my way back from a right hand injury. Being able to pick up a mandolin and doddle around is very helpful.
I haven't had as much opportunity to see many recent Nugget mandolins. During the 80's and 90's I saw somewhere between 10-15 of them(A5's and F5's). I remember how they took my breath away each...
I'm not sure if this is still the case but Jarrod picked up a 2nd Weinman F5 not long ago: http://www.vintagebydesign.com/media.html
