Danny Roberts set up my Randy Wood a few months ago and I just gave him my other mandolin to set up, he does really good work!
How did you get ahold of him and how much does a setup cost? I have an Eastman MD315 I would like a pro setup on.
Thanks for the comment Lucy! I know Danny appreciates you saying that. Hope you are well freind....
Thanks for this video I set up my own guitars acoustic and electric myself plus all of my mountain dulcimers. I've had a mandolin in the passed but wasn't that serious about it I am now I have one coming I got it for $500 so it probably will need a set up this helps! Imma check out your channel
Danny Roberts in conjunction with Jonathan McClanahan are the best, not only dealing with the instrument side of the business, but as human beings, they are wonderful people.
I couldn't agree more!
@@waynesworldofmandolin3616 I might also add Dave Harvey as he has taken care of my Gibson, Charlie Darrington sign Master Model several years back.
I should add that it "sings" perfectly fine when not fretted.
Hi Wayne, thanks for sharing. Was wondering if you have any tips on frets. I have a Washburn M-3 SWTS from 1990, factory frets are about 1/2 milimeter (0.01968.. in) , seems really low? I feel that I'm working to o hard to get it to sing. Don't have any buzz or intonation problems but it just doesn't sing. Thinking of refreting. Any suggestions?
I don't know the exact fret size in terms of a number or gauge. I think it's just banjo fret wire.....

Very informative, thanks. Just got an Electric Cozart Mandolin for Christmas. G D A are all nice, stay mostly in tune E top is "in tune" but the string is loose, bottom E is "normal". I will try to restring it and if that doesn't work replace that one E string. Any ideas as to why it is in tune but lose?
Thanks for a Great RUclips channel, always lots of cool ideas on here. Maybe a bit more Blues for beginners, and on up. As you said you can not have Bluegrass without the Blues. I am a Yank Rachel fan, not sure about his tunings, and chord progressions from that tuning setup. Keep it up. Much appreciated.
"Bottom E"? There is no bottom E on a mandolin! As for 'in tune but loose', I can't imagine what that would be. I would start with a fresh set of new strings and go from there.
@@f5mando Seeing as they are new strings, I thought I would ask.And no top and bottom E string? You must know they're are two of G D A & E on the mandolin so one is the top "E" and the string below that one would be the bottom "E" string, maybe I am wrong in the term? I did not think I would be talked down to for asking a simple question.
Thx for the comment. The first thing that comes to mind when you use the word loose to describe the feel of the string would be that there isn't enough tension on the string. That makes me wonder if somehow the wrong gauge of string had been installed on that particular E string. That's where I would start troubleshooting. Let me know what you find and good luck.....
2:30 no i can't. No strings and no money 😔 😔
if you can find someone who is trust worthy its a God send, good setup can change a mediocre instrument into a real player.
