I'm glad Trading did the right thing, I've been there a few times when people try to get cash selling stuff for a friend.
Could the rightful owner contact Eastman or the original seller to get a...

Never tried one but i've ordered other materials (horn, bone) from them, they're good picks
this $300 RK banjo was my first, played pretty well, has different model names like starlight, RKH-05 and RK-06, i got mine for $100 off ebay w/cracked neck that i had fixed cheap. Look for the ones...
That is an exceptional beautiful Flatiron, congrats!
(I love my Flatiron too, A5 Jr archtop)
I'm quite fond of Kentucky's, currently have 2, used to have a couple more. your 250 maybe set up well but could also benefit from a fret level, nut slots /bridge refiled, some other stuff in Rob...
After years of really neck heavy monsters, open back banjos, 5 string warwick, and 8 string multiscale guitars, I'd say: a wide suede strap, piece of sticky yoga mat slotted to fit as a shoulder pad...
You could just goto a store that sells scrap leathers, Tandy, Joann Fabrics, someplace like that, make an extension. If it needs to be exactly color/texture matched, Tandy... and i think a leather...
Huh, i frequent reddit's sub on that and just saw a Toronto thread (which isn't that helpful) https://old.reddit.com/r/violin/comments/ylit19/violin_consignment_shops_in_toronto_canada/

I've had good experiences with Elderly and Dusty strings, certainly they both sold (about 5-6 banjos and mandolins total) for far more than I could have gotten. Elderly used to charge 15% for higher...
Just spent an hour looking for my Wegen dipper, which is one of many favorites. Probably have to buy more at Dusty strings...

On the mac, you could read about the OpenCore Legacy Patcher which would allow you to install a recent version of macOS but not Ventura: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

and for high end mandolin Gail Hester in Poulsbo, Steve Smith in KY or Cat Fox in VT. I haven't had Ms. Hester work on any instruments but she has sterling reputation, the other 2 are perfectionists.
violins: Lasley or David Stone... Mandos, if ask to speak to the tech at Emerald, Amer Music or GC Roosevelt, they're all named "Tyler!" and they're all excellent if overworked.
I recently played maybe 5 of the new Recording King $200 mandolins at various Guitar center's and 1 played great, 1 was sort of acceptable and 3 were horribly setup but the good one was the only...
Yup, domain registered Mar 29, no history, no reviews, no nothing

The cafe recommended instrument donations to California Bluegrass Association, I sent them a $300 J Bovier from Amazon which was a amazingly great player for the money...
if enough banjo killers show up, more archtop banjos w/clear heads cranked to 92, high action, high thin bridges, tailpiece cranked down, steel strings, pointy steel fingerpicks etc are going to show...
I got the Korg and peterson clip on mikes, they don't work too well unless i run it thru a couple preamps but after that, into Peterson hd strobe, works great using their Mandolin sweetener tuning

this is my armrest, I think I have at least 3 of them, they're small works of art. I'm really fond of these and Tonegards, pickguard is something I think i like but I could probably do without...
