    Re: strap peg

    My first The Loar LM 500 VS had the same issue. Had it for less than 24 hours, the strap button came out and the mandolin exploded on my tile floor! :disbelief: Luckily Saga thought it fit too loose...

    Re: Strap peg keeps popping out

    I still get nervous about the end pins coming out. My starter mandolin, a The Loar LM 500vs went crashing to the tile floor and broke into several pieces after owning it for 24 hours! Even with the...

    Re: Stool for tired old pickers

    I actually started playing at 59 as well and am also 64. Why not just use an armless auditorium chair? I carry one with me to the festivals or anywhere I plan on playing. They are light, comfortable...

    Re: Used Instrument Pricing

    I'm interpreting the OP "street Price" as the price for a used instrument price and not what a chain store would charge for a new instrument. In this case the 70-75% rule that "pheffernan" suggests...

    Going Sharp

    Quick question for all you Luthier types. My intonation is pretty right on at the 12th fret. My question is, when I pick any open string and then start moving up the fretboard on any particular...

    Re: Are you a mandolin picker?

    When I send out my group text for the weekly jam circle at my house, I usually ask if anyone is around for "Pickin at Paul's" tonight. I like the sound of it! That being said, I am applying that term...
