Most of the mandolins I see advertised have the leg extensions that don't look very sturdy. Any problems with the MS-SS model?

I am responding to your e-mail I have had no problems. I order one that was made out of plastic and not having any problems with that one. I order the S/S one for my daughter and she loves it. I am not aware of any problems with that one ether. I hope this answer your question. I use mine every day. Thank you.

Oneida has a pdf on their site. Guessing that I can't post a link here but if you replace the (dot) you might recreate the link - oneida com/media/Documents/mandolin_instructions.pdf . The printed instruction included in the box are a joke and a cautious person is not going to want to see if they can "figure out" how to install and remove the rows of super sharp and pointy blades.

I am sorry for my late response. I have an Oster with a fixed blade, so that is all I can answer questions about with confidence. Sorry!

Sorry - don't have precise answers because the mandolin is not in front of me. It is the length of my acoustic Fender mandolin. The body is slightly larger and is solid. I have not had it long, but I can tell you I really like it. I just purchased a Fender 15 amp to go with it and they sound great. It took a little tuning when I got it - but ,other than that, it was ready to go.

I have the Black Rouge RM-100A A style Mandolin.I know most stringed Instruments,have a Truss rod system to adjust the neck.I have taken a look at mine,and it appears that it doesn't have one.If it does,they've placed it on the Inside of the neck,(where it's not only out of the way it's also hidden inside the body of the Mandolin itself.Hope I have been of assistance to you.sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.

Yes position the mandolin over a bowl, it doesn't have a stand, you can't have a mandolin with a stand "read the description for more details'

It plays the same as an 8 string Mandolin. It's the way it sounds that makes it unique. I bought this to play the blues with. It a great compliment to my guitars. And the blues sound great. It also good for bluegrass music as well.

A mandolin or processor will not cut in long singular piece "pasta" style shape or spiral cut.You can make veggies into "pasta" and have a healthier alternative to carbs,also you don't have to worry about slicing your fingers off bc you just push the handle as you crank away which is sooo much better. than a mandolin.

I haven't tried the Rogue. I can affirm that the Kansas Mandolin, to me, is a good value. (Sorry for this, probably, too late response. Just saw this old e-mail while I was cleaning out my mailbox.) Note that I'm not a mandolin "player", I'm a guitar player, but, for me the Kansas seems like a decent instrument, especially for the money.

I hand my mandolin on the end. It is okay with the guitar on the other end. My friend has the triple one, and he hangs small and large instruments. The weight and size of the large ones seems not to affect its stability. Even when my heavy 12-string guitar was hanging alone, it stayed stable. This is the best stand of the three I've used since July!

My Kentucky mandolin has a really short end pin, and it's a problem, actually: strap gets preference, obviously. I keep meaning to get that fixed: but I just wrap the wire once around the strap for support and go from there. Ugly, but effective.

I would give this one a try.my mandolin and guitars are never in direct sunlight the stage is usually covered or it's evening or indoors .before the show I tune up I leave this one clipped to my Gibson F5 I love the size it's easy to use and see.very cheap priced .The first tuners were bulky and expensive. Not so todays tuners are automatic. I must have 6 different tuners this one is my favorite. good luck with your gigs

The slices are quite thin...I have sliced apples to add to salads...it worked well for this. I really like this product as it replaces using a mandolin.

I have had this mandolin for two years now and I have to say I do not like it. It is very heavy and large. Also when slicing and you slide the vegetable to be sliced back up the device to make another pass the vegetable has a tendency to catch on the rippled blade which can be dangerous. I also find that because the blades are perpendicular to the direction you slice that dense vegetables like potatoes are hard to slice. I also find that the hand protector is not easy to use because it only has two pins to hold the veg you are slicing and it frequently falls out of the handle. I have an inexpensive plastic Borner mandolin that easily out performs the French stainless version. I have had this mandolin for two years now and I have to say I do not like it.

No, this just makes slices, however I did see one along the way (more $$) that does the julieene. If Good Grips makes it and if it is even half as good as the one I bought, it should be a winner.

The blade for cutting is attached to the mandolin itself and very, very sharp. Then there are 3 triangular shaped black plastic things that attach to the mandolin. They are marked "thin slices, medium slices and thick slices". It is hard to read as it is "black on black". But you insert one of your choice and use the food holder and slice away! :) I just love mine! Have been married 57 years and don't know how I ever got along without it! Hope this is helpful to you....
