Yes, he's still selling it. I had committed to purchase it but after careful consideration and a conversation with the seller I decided it wasn't for me. I have decided to save up more and use the...

Just wanted to share some pictures of a mandolin I just acquired and wanted to know if anyone was familiar with the maker "Taft".192092

Please don't take this as being sarcastic because it by no means is meant to be taken that way, but there are only a total of 12 notes to learn. You already know your tuning is GDAE. If you already...

I think I am going to go with the Kentucky KM-850 for now. I liked the sound of my 756 and it's my understanding that the 850 and 855 are built in the same workshop as the higher end Kentucky 1000...

I had to return my Kentucky KM-756 because of some issues discovered and discussed here at the cafe regarding the tuning machines. As such, I now have a store credit at Musician's Friend that I need...

I am of the understanding that there are two ways to tune the Irish banjo. One being GDAE and the other one octave below that tuning. I might be wrong so please correct me if I am. I am also...

I'm going to tune it like an Irish banjo is supposed to be tuned and learn to play it just that way. I guess the same as an octave mandolin. Newtone strings have been recommended but I can't find...

Sorry for the post. I found my answer.

Hey all,
I hope I am not posting this in the wrong spot.

I recently purchased a Kay K-52T tenor banjo at an estate sale and my question is this. I realize that I am working with 19 frets so...

I'm using Erin Woolf off the classifieds. She gives the first lesson free. She has a wonderful personality, very knowledgeable, excellent resume, and is a great instructor. Her rates are very...

Yes, I tried both the phone and email and got no response from either. I would venture to say that since his move to Illinois that he is currently not working on mandolins. I took my Kentucky to a...

Yes, please change my name to Scott Salyers.

I am going to to take it to a luthier tomorrow and have it completely setup and looked over.

I can't wait to get my hands on it. Even though I am just a beginner I think I am going to fall in love with the Levin. I'm an old soul anyway and I have always loved old things rather than new. ...

I can order them direct from Schaller for $200 which includes the shipping.

Here are some pictures of the Levin.

It's a model 41 F hole.

I have decided to use the $200 as a down payment on a very, very nice Levin which I know I will be very happy with.

I did find these on the Schaller website: https://schaller.info/en/gt-mandolin/464/grandtune-mandolin-f-style-non-reverse?number=10690164.71.31&c=31 Can anyone tell me if these are the correct...

Yes, in my opinion there is a problem but of course I'm no expert, as a matter of fact far from it. I am just a beginner. The tuners are very sticky when turning and the mando is constantly having...

Here is a closeup picture of my tuning machines. 191719

I recently purchased a new Kentucky KM-756 and I can't find anywhere on the Kentucky/Saga website or the web where it lists the brand name of the tuning machines they use on their mandolins. Does...

Okay thanks very much. I was just going by what the owner told me. I wasn't aware that the tuning machines were not original. I think I'll pass on this one.

Here are a couple of pictures that I hope can help you identify the year. 191717191718

I have the opportunity to purchase a mint condition 1939 "A" style Silvertone with original case and warranty card for $200 which includes shipping. Can anyone tell me if this is a good price or is...
