- Here's my review of the Washburn Mandolin M3SWK. It's a great F style mandolin that I've picked up recently, and is really quite versatile as far as playing styles and genres go. I sample a few tunes here: Big Mon, Tennessee Whiskey, Brilliancy, and Praeludium and Allegro.

I wanted to pick up something that would be a bit more old-time and bluegrass capable as I've moved from an oval hole mandolin to an oval hole octave mandolin for most of my Celtic music.

It definitely has a great, vintage look. I put monel strings on my Kentucky and they have a nice woody tone.
Awesome!
Great playing! How are the tuners holding up?
thanks for posting this :)
Hey Zach, I bought one. A truly a more blue grass sound from my jazz mando and my intro mando and my electric solid body mando. When you say you have light strings you mean .10's? Been thinking of moving down to 9's. Stylistically it suits me, my arthritis kills a lot less, and I am not needing the volume. I'll miss the harmonics though.
I love your Review of this instrument, very well done indeed!
There’s a song that comes to mind I think you especially would appreciate...it’s name is called “Carroll County Blues” it was originally written a performed by a wonderful Mandolinists whose name is Raymond Lunsford, or just Ray Lunsford, it might even be on RUclips, I didn’t check to see if it actually was before writing this...but will after this writing...Please do yourself a big favor find and learn the “Carroll County Blues” then please let me know how well you liked it! It was written for your talents!
Thanks

Try silk and steel strings. Those can bring the bottom end out more.
How's the quality of the tuners? Also, do they tune up the normal direction, like a normal guitar? My '97 M3SW needs new tuners and I can't find any replacements that fit, so I think my only option is to order a set of these modern ones.
Late comment, but the tuners are pretty cheap, I swapped the ones that come from the factory with Grover tuners. Had no problems fitting the tuners at home. You can replace the bushings or keep the old ones in there and just fit the tuners themselves. The bushings are the same size so replacing them is super easy. I had to re-drill the screw holes on the back of the headstock about 1/16 of an inch, they were off alignment just a hair. Took about 30 minutes to do.
Was it crafted in the USA?
This particular instrument is not.
