Frank, I love the way I can hear the cry in the melody as a result of your great touch on the frets and pick. Soulful, bro!

Frank, I do love this song! You played both instruments so well. The blend has such nice harmony. Keep ‘em coming, my friend. Dan
Hi Pat, Sorry to get back so late! It is made of mother of pearl and was custom engraved with my name. It fits Gibson or Kentucky master models. He will make them to fit the measured space between...
Here’s one of the old tunes my dad (RIP) taught me on guitar as a boy.

Matt, That is one of the most unusual things I have ever heard! I want to add that once when I was doing a performance as the entertainment for a banquet, I switched to my twelve string to play a...
Ya, Steve. Me as well. The MandolinLessons Academy is the one I am involved with. It is going so well. Lots of feedback for our posts on song of the month videos. It is both encouraging and gives me...
I had some great work done at the Folk Music Center in Clairmont. Very professionally done bridge installation and fretwork. I was quite pleased.
This is quite funny, Keith! Thanks for the laugh because I can relate. Thought I was the only one. :))
I agree. It must be tunable and playable. Those I named are, and I witnessed this great mandolin player in the above video demonstrating that fact. These are reliable suggestions.
I jumped in and signed up right away. It's a lot of fun and motivation to improve. There is a song of the month challenge and a lot of encouragement available, both to give and receive. Baron is a...
The Kentucky KM-150 is excellent, and the Eastman MD305 is right with it. Go for used. A good budget mandolin as seen in the above video, which I watched live when David recorded it, is the...
Hello Frankdolin, Thanks for the encouraging words about the tailpiece. They are a very nicely constructed and appearing version. Love the way it flips open! Glad you think it is doable.
I am thrilled to hear that it is likely a direct fit. I will do some measuring and comparison. Then it is likely I will have to search for an experienced luthier in my region. Thanks again to you...
Hi Charles, Thanks so much for the response. I am glad you feel they are decent tuners. Yes, I must say they serve the function well. I likely would appreciate a brighter look, as you stated. I...
Hi Charley! Yes, I should have started it here, in equipment. Thank you. I would certainly appreciate the moderators' time and trouble to do so, if they deem it necessary. These aren't the...
I have a 2014 BRW F5 with Golden Age relic nickel machines. Also, it has a Golden Age unstamped relic tailpiece. I would value your expert advice regarding a similar value set of tuners, possibly...

Wasn’t planning on it, but, hmmm….
I am at an age where I can’t play all the instruments I have collected. I have sold a number of them and given each of my three sons various Martins, Nationals and others. It gives me happiness. ...
In my exposure to these Eastman models: The MD815 is brown in the classic finish. The MD815V varnished is more of a burgundy, to my eye.
Zack, This is a great-looking and sounding Morris A4! I agree that Sonny's mandolins are very nice as I have played them, extensively. A great guy to deal with, also. I love the finish, the blue...
Merry Christmas, Eric! Very nice new mando. I know it will bring a lot of enjoyment!
I really like the Northfield’s and also a used Weber Yellowstone would be a great one in the under $4,000 range.
Can’t beat the the LR Baggs DI box.
I agree. The middle one is not a Wegen.
