A few of the tuners in my Strad-O-Lin are super hard to turn. I think the posts are not fully straight in the holes, or there's play, and there aren't any bushings. I don't really want to change the...

I am thinking that if I can find a piece of material that has a similar texture, that I might try it for case repair. I could use it to imprint a correct/similar texture on the repair area. I've...

Looks nice, NicK. I guess you really are a fan of that Sugru!

I was only a little tempted ;)

(I happened upon the listing while I was doing my daily scan for oval hole Strad-O-Lins)

I saw that and was a little tempted :mandosmiley:

Glad you made a good trade. I saw that your NH craigslist post was gone, and was wondering what kind of a deal you'd made.

I feel a little bad. My former case was nothing to shake a stick at, but it wasn't a gig bag.

My DH took it to the Swap Shop at our local Transfer Station. Hopefully it found a new home.

I asked this question one time before :

Where are the mandola books?

Your mileage may vary, as I am a newbie, but the most useful thing I've found thus far is Niles Hokkanen's little book The...

Thanks for that link, John. For those at a distance who want to help, they are accepting cash donations to help with the instrument drive, and there is a link from their site to the state relief...

I really like that pickguard. The shape is very attractive.

Lovely!

You can use a shoelace for now ;)

Is canned air just air, or is there some kind of propellant that we wouldn't want on our instruments? I'm a bit leery.

On e-cloths, I looked on amazon as well, after stringalong mentioned it, and...

You're right. I guess my next approach might be to take screenshots of each page, crop and paste them into a page layout program and then export to pdf. Sounds time consuming.

I really don't like...

What's an e-cloth?

Here's the directions, David:

I'm wondering how the poor Morris flat top is feeling.

I'm a novice who started from scratch with the mandolin. I've explored MandoLessons.com, bought a stack of books, signed up for Mike M on Artistworks, and taken a group online course with Matt...

I'm pretty sure this is the same exact mandolin:

"It really enjoys being put back together."

To me, this is a bit of a strange looking mandolin. But what do I know, really.

What do you think?

I like the way you think.:)

I get it, it's pretty low resolution when you right click. I copied it and pasted it into an image editing program. It was about 2-1/2" x 2" at 240 dpi. I think it's basically no longer available in...

What a fine mandolin! I love it! :mandosmiley:

Nice to have you here, and glad you decided to make the move and get started. Get ready to have some serious fun :mandosmiley:

It looks pretty cool to me. I'll be interested in how it sounds.

:)):)):))

Jim, trust me, I have no personal interest in that particular instrument, and I saw the nonstandard alligator lutherie. I just got a huge kick out of the fact that the seller would claim...
