This is what came to my mind seeing the thread title.

Welcome to the forum!!! There is a lot of great information here so be sure to visit frequently. You'll be surprised at how much guitar knowledge translates to the mandolin.

I don't think I'd try to do a "home repair" on it. Depending on the type of glue that was used sometimes the glue bond is stronger than the wood that it is connecting. Getting it apart cleanly...

I have a MD315 as well and while they are a really good mandolin, they are inexpensive and not really an "investment". From what you say I don't think she was trying to deceive you, she just doesn't...

I did not have to give up publishing rights to go through CD Baby.

The Paramount is a beautiful theater and a great place to catch a show. Also check out the Cameo a couple of blocks back down the street, it's a beautiful old theater as well and the shows I have...

If you publish your CD through CD Baby for digital download and online distribution to streaming services, CD Baby will take care of the licensing for you. When I recorded my last CD Watauga Point I...

I have a buddy that is the best guitar player I've ever worked with. The boy is a monster on a Telecaster and plays mandolin some too. He also does very hard manual labor for a living and his...

I decided to start dabbling with the mandolin again last year and picked up a The Loar 310F Honey Creek. I'm a long time guitar player and worked for a while in a music store doing set ups and...

Well I've only dabbled in mandolin off and on for a few years now so I don't have the pedigree of mandolins I've owned that most folks on here have. Now guitars, I've owned, sold, traded and...

Malcolm is a universe of his own. He doesn't dress for the stage but also drools all over his guitar and half the stage. But when he says "don't play that zippity do dah bull****", you gotta listen...

Hey y'all! I've been absent from the forum for several years, but I traded my The Loar 310F yesterday for a more gig-worthy mandolin. I happened into my local Mom & Pop yesterday and they had just...

Happy Birthday Mandolin Cafe!! I really appreciate all of the information on this great resource!

Just got my copy of Rob's eBook! This is a great resource and just for the asking.

Hey, I used to be a member a few years ago and dropped off due to selling my mandolin. Well I've been having the urge to play again so I picked up a The Loar 310F this weekend and will start getting...

Snarks are great unless you get one of the battery eating units. The one I had would kill a battery in a week and I was very meticulous about making sure it was turned off as soon as I was tuned. The...

An SM58 is always a good bet and you really can't go wrong with one, however mine is a backup now. I like my Sennheiser e835 better. It just seems like a more crisp and lively mic. I opened for a...

Well....just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Do what makes you feel best about it.

I've been playing guitar for 40 years and still don't call myself a guitarist because I think that is a title that should be applied by the listener so I just say I play guitar. I think mandolin is...

Some of the quality problems you're experiencing probably has something to do with the recording software you're using on your PC. If it's not a program specifically designed for recording music it's...

I've never encountered a yard sale bargain but if I did run across an old instrument that was priced well below value, I'd give the seller their asking price and enjoy getting a heck of a bargain. ...

I live in a humid area and my skin chemistry kills strings very quickly so I use them on all my guitars. I like the feel and sound of them a lot so now I've got a set waiting to go on my mandolin.

Eddie and I both live in the smaaaaaaall town of Blountville, TN, but I've never met him. I've checked out his page and if his mandolins sound half as good as they look it will be amazing. His prices...

Maybe I'm too old fashioned but I just don't like that at all. I do take a Scotchbrite pad to all my Telecaster necks to smooth them up and get rid of the sticky feel. I've never done it to an...

That reviewer may have been a little challenged. All you gotta do is tap on the metronome symbol and it turns off. Play with it some. It's really that easy and you can't tear it up. I promise.
