I currently have Mapes 10-38 strings on my 1906 A1 ,but I also like the La Bella 880L Light 9-36
I don't have a problem with volume - she's very loud ...
I have a Superior A-style mandolin case CD-1521 for my 1906 Gibson A1 (and for my 55 Levin).
It fits both very well. I think they sell for around $160-$175.
It was just dumb luck in my case. I bought my '06 on eBay for less than $1K only because I could return it if I wasn't satisfied. It was found in a Cali closet wrapped in towels. Definitely loved and...
whew - if I could get that kind of change for my Flatiron, I'd forgo the maple syrup and butter...
I also should add congratulations, Eric. Youre a very fortunate fellow.
Wait - what? The Homestead had a Brentrup? Sorry I missed that!
Well, I’ve seen just the pineapple tailpiece for sale here, on eBay, and Reverb for upwards of $250…there may be enough salvageable for $300.
I think Willie also told me that Finn makes them out of reclaimed wood - is that correct, Eric?
The Superior CD-1521 Deluxe Hardshell A Model Mandolin Case fits my 1906 Gibson A-1 (and my 1955 Levin) like a glove!

I also started playing too late in life to probably get really good, but I do love the mandolin and was curious about how different styles would sound and what I might like best (turns out my...
How much total tension does one what to have on a Trinity Octave? (Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I'm kind of new to this...)
Seeking some advice ... I recently purchased a used TM-325 and should replace the strings. Is there any reason why I couldn't use the Gold Tone OMS Bronze Wound Strings on it (.016 -.020 -.035 -.050)...
Learned to play the clarinet (Eb, Bb and contrabass), the piano, the oboe, the guitar, the banjo (5 string). But never really loved them enough to practice on a regular basis. Then, a couple years...
Goat Rodeo is always in my musical rotation; I never tire of them!
Just what the doctor ordered! That was terrific, Steve!
Chris introduced me to so many musicians that I would have not have known about if not for LFH.
Just heartsick...
