Les Stansell Closing Shop - Selling Everything

An old friend of mine, Les Stansell, who has been building some pretty high-end guitars and ukuleles for over three decades has had to close his shop for health reasons and is looking to sell all his tools and equipment. I’m spreading the word to help him find a suitable buyer – hopefully a new luthier ready to set out on their own. If someone is interested they can contact me here and/or contact Les directly at [email withheld]…

WTB: Franks Crank Small for Mandolin

I’m working on many more mandolins these days, and I absolutely love my Frank’s Cranks by Frank Ford (Gryphon Strings) for guitar work. I’m hoping to track down one of the smaller mandolin-size string winders. If you have one sitting unused, please send me a message.

Looking for Looth Feedback

Hey Everyone! I have been messing around with a program that Ian introduced me to called "FarPlay". It is similar to zoom but designed for playing music together.

Book: The Luther's Handbook

The Luther's Handbook by Roger Siminoff (2002) for sale. $25+shipping. I did some reviewing work for a publisher and they offered to pay me in books. This was one of the books I picked up. It's pretty much brand new. Cool book but it's way beyond my skill set.
