I don't have the carbon fiber case, but I got one of the fiberglass F-style cases when they first came out last year. The color of my lining is exactly like the photo you posted.

I have used the coated strings on guitar and mandolin for years, and of all of them, I like the XS best. They seem to last forever. My clue when it's time to change them is they get harder to keep in...

How do I get on the list?

Another lovely arrangement, Colin!



I know the feeling. I have never had Mandola Acquisition Syndrome, but after six or eight months of Colin's arrangements, I now own a Northfield Mandola. We...

My Northfield Mandola came with their strings, but they'd been played a bit, so I replaced them pretty early on. Seems to me I saw somewhere their strings come from Battle Creek, and if that's the...

Now THAT is customer service! Bravo to Northfield.

I've heard of Pursell, but never been in to talk to them. I know Clawson well - lived on Elmwood for a period of time many moons ago. Good luck on your journey!

Brian - Your profile says you're in suburban Detroit - where, specifically? I am in Rochester Hills. As others have said, you're not likely to get much satisfaction from anybody at Guitar Center as...

Isn't this now the home of Heritage Guitars?

Scale length is 16.5" - slightly longer than traditional, to tighten up the C strings according to Northfield's site. It sounds great to me, but I haven't a wealth of experience by which to compare.

I decided I "needed" to go down the Mandola Road, so have been watching for one of these for awhile. This is Northfield Quickstep #4, purchased from Gryphon, and built 100% at the Marshall, Michigan...

David Benedict posted a really nice version along with Mandolin Mondays #15. His arrangement is in D.

There is also an arrangement here, which includes links to the tab/notation.

Don Stiernberg has a whole fleet of outstanding discs available. They lean more towards jazz/swing, but very accessible and exquisitely done. My favorite artist, bar none.

Back in the days of Gus Zoppi's Music on 8 Mile ...

There is a link in the video to download the arrangement. They're $6 or $8, but well worth it. I have been making semi-regular contributions to Colin's fund! Which I just did again, as a matter of...

Almost as good a story as Peter Frampton's Les Paul. Fantastic!

This pic was sent to me by a friend who spotted it on a boardwalk somewhere in Florida. I'm not a tattoo fan, but this is pretty nice.

Fantastic! These are memories that last a lifetime.

Pretty sure that's Jarrod Walker on mandolin ...

Ultimate-Guitar.com has guitar chords, strum pattern, and lyrics. It's not arranged specifically for mandolin, but it's only three chords - G, C and D. There are a gazillion sources to find voicings...

In my case (no pun intended) the foam on the fingerboard is right above the neck support, so while the neck gets squeezed a little, it doesn't get bent. The foam above the strings is pretty well...

I now have the "new and improved" version, and had the same concerns re: the padding above the fingerboard and tailpiece. That only lasted a short while, the padding settled in, and now the case...

Just listed while cooking dinner. Fantastic stuff, as always. Thanks, Don!

Amen - and watching Grisman always makes me feel a little better about the fact my fingers fly a little higher off the fingerboard than they should. It sure doesn't hamper him any!
