OP stated “New poster here, got a bunch of mandolins from an estate sale.”
Now they were “left to us in his will.”
This smells fishy.

You really should play before you buy to find the sound you are looking for. The Pava I owned was very sweet sounding, but on the quiet side. The MT I have is the best mandolin for me; it sounds...

I only purchased a couple of times from TMS. Dennis was great to deal with - helpful, friendly and honest. I am sure those attributes flowed from his father.
Best wishes to Dennis and his...
I have learned that everyone’s taste is different as every mandolin is different. It really does not matter much to me where a mandolin is made/assembled. It is the sound and playability that grab...
I try different strings (different gauges, metal, etc.) once in a while, but always come back to J74s on my MT and Thomastick Mittels on my old A2 oval hole.
That was great! Speed and timing (which I struggle with) were excellent.
Sully’s are great!
My MT fits great even with a toneguard.
How about Ashokan Farewell?
I have a CA on my 1921 A2. It is great!
Excellent - see you there!
Hi Randy,
Are you going? I live in Bethel and am planning on being there.

My 1906 A4 has a scarf jointed neck (pretty sure it is original) but it is in the opposite direction.

I have have/had many mandolins (Gibson, Weber, Pava, Summit, Northfield, etc.).
My MT is a lifetime keeper! No better value in my opinion - the Northfield F5S is close behind as far as value.
Sorry I can't help locate the EP, but they are featured in the latest issue of the
Fretboard Journal.
HI Noteworthy,
Does either catalog include Clifford guitars? I have a terz parlor guitar that was dated by someone to be from around 1895. I'm wondering if the Clifford brand was offered from...
Honor your grandfather. Get it fixed and have fun playing it!
I am not sure of your budget, but two great choices which would be:
Collings MT (A)
Northfield F5S (F)
An MT was my first really good mandolin. Many have come and gone, but the MT is like a...
It had 8 strings, and it looked huge on him!

Really sorry to hear about his sons. He and the band were having a great time. Here's a photo of the whole band, LL is at keyboards behind...
Thanks Mike - I'll bet the Asbury Park Press mentioned the Springsteen sighting. We were in the balcony so I could not see Lowell well behind the piano and back-up singers.
As soon as he appeared...
For an early Mother's Day gift I surprised my wife, a huge Steve Van Zant and Springsteen fan, with tickets to a Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul show in Asbury Park Wednesday night.
