New Member, New unusual instument!
I am a new member, I joined to try to get some insight on a stringed instrument I just acquired which is a Frank Evans Coulter Mandolin. I have tried to research this item and only found a biography or interview with him published on line by Ancestry.com. I am trying to get a feel for what enthusiasts in this field know of him and if the mandolin is to be considered a rare item or sought after item. I will be selling this soon and would love any insight anyone can enlighten me with regarding this fine instrument. I have tried to down load one photo but keep getting an error message of (500) Michael.

It's a shame you're selling it. Is it a bass mandolin?
|
Dear Ben, I really hate to sell it, But I am trying to raise money to overcome a circumstance occurring in my life. I can't play it it sounds absolutely amazing! I would not be able to tell with no knowledge if it was a bass mandolin. Do you mean low end pitch Like a base guitar? If so, It is not that, The strings, eight of them have a high to low range. Mike

Dear Ken, I have been looking for about 40 minutes under forums and can't seem to find a Mandolin or guitar forum. What am I doing wrong and where should I go?
|
Try MIMF. It's a resource for string instrument makers, mostly guitar family.

Just for openers:

Dear Jim, Per chance, I found the thread that you are referring to just last night about 2 in the morning! It has been copied and I find it very useful! Thanks everyone for your help! Michael.

Michael,
It's good that you found your place in the scheme of things. |
Dear Richard, Thanks for your reassurance toward a novice like me. Research is like that, we fumble our way toward an eventual answer. Persistence is what gets us there! Thank-You! Warm Regards Michael Branch
