My 2 year old boy is obsessed with the mandolin, he’s seen me playing since he was born. I have a couple high end instruments, and giving one of those to a toddler is a little….scary. So i got him a Kentucky KM500 and put new Rubner tuners and a Cumberland acoustics bridge on it. I’m very impressed by this little Kentucky! Cool series, Wayne!

Thx so much and good luck to your son!

That Mandolin sounds great Wayne! Good job on the upgrades and improvements.

Thank you kindly!

Those strings are the Bobby Osborne Gauges. .011,.016.024.038. The old Gibson 161 monel sets that Monroe and others used in the 1950s and 60s were .011 .014 .025 .039. It seems at a later date Gibson changed the G gauges to .041. A video on mandolin string evolution would be interesting. I enjoy your channel and keep up the good work!

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Thats a great idea for a video! Thx for the suggestion and I'll do my best to cover that in the future....

Wayne from personal experience, I know you can make anything sound good. Thanks for everything you do to promote mandolin picking. Bluegrass and otherwise. God bless you.

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

I appreciate that!

[@bryanjackson8604]

Doesn’t it feel so satisfying to have it finished!!

I am always looking for instrument deals on CL or other places. I don't really need them I just have a problem with buying instruments. 😆 I buy and resale occasionally too. Maybe do a little setup on them. Looks like a nice one you found there Wayne.

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Yep. Right place and right time rarely just happens. You have to chase it....

Hi Wayne! Great channel. Just wondering, do you ever touch-on Mandola ? If not, any recommended youtube channels?

[@waynesworldofmandolin3616]

Not yet! I plan to get around to that at some point. Thx for the comment and stay tuned.....

Hey Steve are you from around Glen daniel wv area?

[@RandySchartiger]

@@bryancozort2068 I was wondering as well because he posted a video from the summersville wv festival and that's where I live.

[@bryancozort2068]

Could be. I don't think that Steve does much online anymore. Either way he was a bad ace picker
