That's my Flatiron and the tuners are perfectly aligned with the head, there are no finish differences on either side indicating something was replaced. I would venture a guess they are original.

I have a couple of questions. Some of the Montana Flatirons are signed by Carlson and some by Weber. Were there any other Flatiron people signing their instruments? Was there any difference in the...

I think I paid right at $2,000 for the new red A+ deluxe and am looking at $1,500 for the used one. I agree with some of the comments made - great playability, best plugged in sound, not a loud...

I have been very surprised to see used Rigel A's declining in price. When they were being made they got raves for being good madons for the price especially plugged in. I had traded mine for a...

www.hcamp.org - check out the instructor line up - we have a great camp shaping up this year. Look forward to a great time in Kerrville, Texas.

Traded a Rigel A+ deluxe for a A5-1 signed by Carlson. I loved the Rigel, easy to play & I like the Rigel look and mine was candy apple red which I thought was a hoot. But my instructor owned the...

A good salesman would explain the benefits of buying a set of strings over a single string. he would give the customer enough information for him to make an informed decision. He wins a long term...

I think maybe there is a mistake here - I had cleared a place for that Collins - had the feeling I was gonna be the lucky one. I don't even live that far from Austin - would have gone to pick it up....

Also don't think Athletic Dept. relates well to the theme. Aesthetic or Music seems to be a better fit BUT it is your show. also thnk web site address is mandatory in this day and time

started at age 60, three years ago to amuse myself. Wanted to play some blugrass and old time music strickly for myself. Would like to improve enought to feel comfortable playing with others - so my...

One of the really nice benefits of attending a camp like HCAMP last week was the ability to hear lots of different mandolins of varying quality and manufacturer. When they are all playing the same...

The 2005 Hill Country Acoustic Music Camp was held last week with 43 students and 7 great instructors. I will let attendees do the commenting on how the camp went but pictures are available at...

Great Faculty Concert open to the public $5 admission - come hear Joe Carr, Gerald Jones, Alan Munde, Bill Honker and Dick Walker play Texas roots music. Lee Rowe and Peggy Carter will also be there...

The mandolin classes are filling up pretty quickly we are still looking for bass and fiddle players for this camp. It will be a camp woth small classes and personal attention in a beautiful setting...

It does appear surprising to find this many great Martin instuments in the hands of the Cafe members - must mean the Cafe members have real good taste in instruments. :cool:

'65 0016C sweet sounding - does not get played anymore probably needs to go fund another mando rather than collect dust.

repost I know but I like it _ The statement one will never hear - That's the banjo player's Porshe !

Hill Country Acoustic Music Camp - Kerrville, Texas June 22-26th,2005
Joe Carr & Gerald Jones will be teaching mandolin, Alan Munde on banjo, Dick Walker on fiddle, Peggy Carter on Dulcimers. maybe...

Advice taken and mandolin shipped to the luthier yesterday. Thanks for the advice - it cleared up my hesitation pretty quickly.

fatt-dad, please email me off board @rbm@tacef.org. I would like to ask you some questions about the work you had done as we have the same instrument.

What sort of considerations do one put into this type of decision ? This is a Flatiron A5-1 Carlson signed - that would improve playability with new frets, neck work, new nut and new bridge - great...

I look at the music I am trying to master and get discouraged almost daily, but then I look back where I was 6 months ago and I can play a lot better now. I am making the same mistakes tonight I made...

Pure personal pleasure, not talented, can't remember notes without the music in from of me, little sense of rhythm but I love trying to make music. Tried several guitars and a dobro just to see what...

check out jaybuckey.com he has music at different speeds and full band tracks. I have found it a big help - No financial interest here.

I have learned to pick melodys and breaks from books but can't make the chord stumming work -Anyone else with this problem ? Have not had any opportunity to play with others and am awfully self...
