That is one sweet looking mandolin! Can you record some sound clips?
Sounds like a good get! One of my favorite mandolins ever was a Collins MT I had for a while. It was really, really nice. Congrats!
I’m pretty sure the guys from Cabinet live around there, and one of the them is a fine player. Maybe check out their web site and send them a message.
Yeah... but which one sounds better? Has it ever been discussed? :popcorn:
Of course I meant changes in *SEASONS, not Sean’s, haha.
I’ve owned a dozen or more mandolins over the past 20 years, and all but one was finished with nitro-lacquer. Comparing roughly 11 nitro-finished mandolins with my one varnish finished mandolins...
Thanks, everyone. I’m glad the special qualities of this mandolin translated to the video (and your ears, lol). John really did a great job with it and continues to be a trusted resource if I have...
It used to be sweet, nourishing, delicious beer, lol. But, since I’ve gotten sober I’ve switched to water mostly.
It’s interesting, the way I played was tied into the way I drank, kind of seeking...
Hi Everyone,
I was thinking about this today and thought it would be fun to see everyone’s favorite mandolins that they’ve owned. No need to rank them, and no need to disparage other brands or...
Hi Everyone,
I recorded a somewhat hastily composed tune yesterday that I think highlights the maturation of my Hamlett two-point quite well. My fingers are a little rusty as I’ve been working a...
I concur with the feedback given thus far and will add a vote for trying strings out. There are too many variables for a magic bullet answer.
For deepening while retaining volume, D’Addario Nickel...
I'm going to go ahead and throw shade at your lingo regarding the Eastman after which you're lusting. It's true, Eastmans are at a low-middle price point, and although there are occasionally quality...
Oh. Apologies for any lack of clarity. I just mean they’re good, at a minimum, as in no stinkers.
Now. As for “good”…
To me they are nice and loud, have clear highs and lows, play easily,...
I don’t own one but play a few and I think you can get something really nice. The F style varnish I played years ago was exceptionally nice.
I’ll add, I’ve owned two Eastman’s, with one currently...
Nice one! That era of Webers are - in my opinion - the best of the best of what they built
There’s a formula to the labels. I just can’t quite remember what it is! I do know it includes the day,...
Aww, congrats! I had a Morris for a spell and it was wonderful. I’d be happy to have one again.
Yes to pics! Sound clips too!
That looks and sounds terrific. Congrats on a fine two-pointer!
Hi Everyone,
Had the pleasure of attending an Andy Statman, Jake Eddy, and Carter Eddy concert last Sunday evening, as well as attending a 90-minute workshop with them earlier in the day. It was...
Another vote for used Eastman 305. Hard to beat!
Hi Everyone,
Just thrilled this is happening:

I’m going to get to interview Andy and...
Love this! Billy has an ability to cut right to the core of the music and then branch out in flourishes before coming back to the center. Just awesome, and Del of course.
https://www.facebook.com/susan.desantis.7/videos/775557623467022/?d=nThanks so much!
Here’s a 4th of July video showcasing just how far the tone has evolved at the one year point. Granted, I’m...
The Hamlett sure is ringin' true out in Black Moshannon State Park in central Pennsylvania. Good times!

The Hamlett sure held up well on top of Tussey Mountain in central Pennsylvania’s Rothrock State Forest! Dixie Hoedown seemed like the right tune. Got a big bite on my foot towards the end….

I'm in agreement with what's been posted so far, in that the type of spruce wouldn't matter to me at all.
Admittedly, I've been a sucker for red spruce lore and marketing. Both of my mandolins...
