  1. Re: What are the chances that a moderately-priced mandolin sounds

    Re: Neck shape/feel: "V" vs rounded

    I prefer slim shallow necks that have a V to them. Too much meat in the shoulders of D, U, or rounded V neck gets in the way for me and makes it feel like I'm fighting the neck to get around. A V...

    Re: JT's Pix Blue Celcon Pick Review

    The latest blue celcon picks I received are the size of the BC TAD picks. The BC CT55 is a hair larger than the blue celcon. I don't have any BC TP picks.

    Just a reminder that I needed to polish...

    JT's Pix Blue Celcon Pick Review

    I've used the BlueChip CT55 for many years. Lately, it just seems like too much pick to push through the strings. I started experimenting with a bunch of thinner picks closer to 1mm in thickness.

    Re: Finally, a Lyon & Healy Set

    Man oh man. What a beautiful quartet! I hope you have some friends who can play those with you, or you can do some multitracking with you playing them. I'd love to hear them playing together.
  16. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    Shaun's Heiden is the only mandolin I'd trade my Heiden for.
  17. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    Reischman's Loar & Compton's Gilchrist F5 stick out in my mind as the best 2 mandolins I've played. My Heiden A5 is the best mandolin I've owned.

    I'd save a lot of $ and buy a Hogan F5 and get an accurate copy of a Loar F5. If I did buy one, I'd dig the name out of the headstock with a pocket knife just for their constant lawsuit threat...
