A fine group of restored beauties, a mandolin  orphanage. Another fine video demonstrates your craftsmanship and creative skills Dave! These sound great!

Dave, If I wasn't watching you I'd be listing to a sitar. The Airline. Sweet.

As if I didn't already have enough Gits in my collection Dave!, you now have me thinking I have to build a Slide Mandolin, and of course you know I will, as both you and I know, we are both Immune to Unc's Build Stop :-D

Interesting comment by you in 5 Mandolins Part 1, about "Trampling Turtles", and the fact that they use a Mandolin for slide, Iv'e been a big fan of them for some time now, and do have a few of their albums in my large digital collection of Music, I'm also now listening to them as I'm typing this! :-)

Another hit!

Thank you all for your feedback. And I do have more mandolins. I love that they are tuned the same as a fiddle. You can learn the finger positions from the mando. And visa versa. I’ll be playing more for my videos. I find all the String things inform each other. But then I’ve got a house full of instruments. 
Uncle John, how in the world have you emptied your home of all your Gits? Build stop is not working for me. Help!

I love mandolins Dave. Thanks for sharing your demos.

Good, no wait for part 2.   Nice Airline.  Dave that scratch guard as you call it - some mando folks remove the pick guards thinking the sound will project better.  I like the way you salvage instruments like some folks save animals.  Sounds good in open tuning. 

I like Kay numero uno the best of all.

All five are really nice Dave. I like the looks of the last one but you're right... it needs some work.
