Shows what they cost new at this website with a HSC and strap.
Overall, value for me. Bang for yer buck as mentioned above.
I've been using the M150s for a while now. Perfect feel for and tone for me. I started playing guitar a bit again and it works well on there too.
The bridge on your mandolin is just a piece of aluminum added probably when the old bridge either broker or got lost.

THere are pdf and tef files at the link Jim gave. So the tef files will play if you have Tabledit.
Dont forget about Butch Robins book.
Another vote for 16 Gems and the Monroe Homespun video. The booklet with the Homespun is not the best, but the video of Bill playing and Sam breaking them down is excellent.
The Amazon link for...

Bought mine in 2000 and it's still going strong. I'll keep it for now.
I oughta kick myself for not making the 45 minute trip to over this year.
