641 RSW Setup Mitzi Os Eastman Mandolin

[@davidbyerly9846]

Its great to see someone really go deep on mandolin step-ups. So many people do not know how to set them up correctly. Accurate Bridge placement, string spacing and comfortable-playable action are everything on a mandolin!

[@stepno]

Just amazing how much easier fast-forward has made the job of set-up. 😉 Thanks for sharing the details.

[@2packs4sure]

Man I really like this,, you working on the customers instrument while they're sitting there conversing,, it's almost like being there !

[@AA-ub1uf]

I love ur channel.

[@2packs4sure]

[@d.whitman7455]

I'm glad you said conversing and not conversating. Now, if we could just get luthiers to say entoning rather than entonating.🤯

[@nellayema2455]

It sounds great! Eastman makes good guitars, too. Hand made by craftsmen in China, yet some of the best instruments around, especially for the price.

[@davidharris7431]

Yeah , when it comes to wood the Chinese know what they're doing . Very high quality work.

[@Clfike]

Loved it! Makes me glad I own an Eastman mandolin!

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Was hoping Mitzi would play a bit. Nice setup!

[@mitzioden4926]

Vlog 220 has me playing it before the setup.

[@MikeCurtin-nn8xy]

Thanks Jerry.

[@leoscomputerandguitarrevie978]

I do not like the sound of Eastman Mandolins, but I gotta say Jerry, you putting on that Deer Antler Saddle made that mandolin sound so much better. Much more clarity and a nice woody sound. Great video as always.

[@mitzioden4926]

Jerry said it had a woody sound before, and the antler saddle would enhance the volume and tone, not change it.

[@jeffgrier8488]

Nice work Jerry, it sounds great!

[@gutyup101]

That mandolin's fret board looks brand new from here! I hope Mitzi is enjoying the setup. 😊

[@mitzioden4926]

I sure am enjoying it! It plays smoothly and sounds so much better.

[@d.whitman7455]

​@@mitzioden4926 I wanted you to play it at the end of the video

[@lumberlikwidator8863]

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing it. Just one little thing: I hope you were not wearing a mask just because you were making a video. Please wear a mask when you’re sanding or filing horn or bone, and hardwood too, especially rosewood and walnut. Stay safe, brother, and God bless!

[@ricknix6785]

Jerry, I love this setup video! I just bought a new MD815 classic finish Eastman mandolin and while it is wonderful, I wondered if it too would benefit from your setup and even a deer antler saddle swap? I live just down the road from you, near Joplin and could drive over and visit. Let me know what you think, please! Thanks :)

Very very welcome

Looks like I am the first comment so I'll use this chance to say that even though I'm not commenting as much as I used to I'm still a frequent viewer, still loving the videos, keep on keeping on 💜

[@Apillicus]

Thanks for the video!

[@leelossi1257]

Great job again!

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

👍👍

[@ptalbany]

Must be an Eastman thing for the sharpness. as mine I had to set back as well but love my Eastman

[@raymari7658]

At the Great American Guitar Show, you'll see vans full of older Fender guitars and bass guitar that will be shipped to Japan.

Get down Jerry

Hello Jerry , whats the best way to remove scorch marks from the bending pipe . If its possible at all . The wood is mahogany . Peace ✌

[@zapa1pnt]

I'm not Jerry, but here's my 2 cents. I would think any metal polish would get you somewhere. If that doesn't do it, try sandpaper, starting with 220 and work backward , to lower grits, until you find the one which works. Then work forward through the higher grits, to remove excessive scratches. 😁✌🖖

[@davidharris7431]

@@zapa1pnt Thanks very much for your input , I will certainly give it a try . Peace ✌

[@johnthomas2255]

Great fast set up Jerry!

[@kimwilliford6303]

😁 you got that right for sure LOL

[@davidpatrick1813]

I have a mandolin that is pristine new and I hobby play steal string guitar. It is a "cross over" which I am told means a more rounded back of the neck for guitar players ... learning. Man it is hard to press ... I am in southern Oregon coast area... how do I have one set up? I'd only use it in small quiet places... not a big band thing... pushing onto 70 years old now.

[@keithosterberg]

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that Eastman mandolin a little deeper than a typical F5?

[@mitzioden4926]

I believe it's the same depth as standard.

[@INDYOSKARS]

Is there such a thing as a "Mandoliner´s Hall of Fame" in the USA Jerry ?

[@iridge1]

Hello Jerry I have been watching you post for many years and love what you do to fix anything that comes in to you .I have a mandolin that when the first two strings( e strings, are fretted on about any fret one is no longer in tune, any suggestions on how to fix that problem. I was thinking maybe one was pinching at the nut or saddle. Thank you. P.s. the intonation is good on it.
