Hey, I took a gamble on a Mandola from this ebay seller and it was the most screwed up transaction I've ever had. I didn't risk much knowing the seller was in...
Prob makes more sense-- or have separate instruments altogether. I think the 5-course with mandolin scale does not quite work whereas in the mandola scale it...
I have heard similar reports from other buyers. As you said, it seems like most, if not all these instruments are from Viet Nam. From what I have heard, some...
That is the same seller, Antonio Tsai. I have not dealt with him directly, but I would not say he is not trustworthy, only that his goods, as I have heard, are...
All I can relate is my dealings with him. No, he wasn't prompt in his email response to me. It actually took four (4) subsequent emails to get him to respond....
Not knowing any better at the time, I got a mandolin from him as gift for my wife. It's a pretty thing to look at, but it's not an instrument. With a lot of...
Tanks for all your input, group -- it's a strange world and I guess it's a gamble to order anything complicated from total strangers in the other side of the...

My bridge cracked about a week ago. I woodgluded it and clamped it. it will work until i buy a new one. I plan to buy a non ajustable one as its my ...
How badly cracked is it? If no wood has gotten lost, chances are you can glue it back together so you can at least keep playing until you can find a...
Well Jim, I did spring for a Mandola from Bruce Wei. I will say the transaction was smoother and the craftsmanship was much better. Not perfect, but better. I...
AFAIK and what I have heard from a few sources, both these sellers get their instruments from a handful of shops or makers in Viet Nam, so I would think that...
I don't think it is a good idea to buy a new instrument on-line, especially from someone overseas. It's not worth the aggravation. I did buy I used banjo ...
I thank you all for your advice. In checking on the web, it seems that what I need is a rosewood adjustable bridge, and it indeed isn't much more than $20....

Does anybody have experience teaching mandolin lessons? I am considering taking on a few students, but I've never taught before and I'm not sure where to...

I currently teach Mandolin. Teaching depends on many factors. 1. Age of your student 2. A beginner, or intermediate student. 3. What the student wants to learn...
