Do you position the mandolin over a bowl, it looks like it doesn't have a stand. Would I rather have a mandolin with a stand?

Yes, however, I hold and angle over my cutting board. Just move slowly until u r comfortable w it. Then it is a snap!

The device that holds the spare blades can be used as a stand, but it is awkward. Simple answer is you can use that device as stand, but just put it over a bowl or hold it at a 45 like listed below, not as awkward as it might seem, the device works very well.

I love the compactness of this madolin. I use it over a cutting board and occasionally over a bowl.It's easy to hold either way.

You can put a bowl under it. I put the feet inside a large container or bowl.

I use it on a flexible cutting sheet inclined to 45º, moving it down the sheet when needed to eliminate pileup.

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'

I love my madolin and just use it with a flexible cutting board. I keep it flat so it is very stable as I cut. I think putting it over a bowl would make it rather dangerous to use. I do not see the advantage of a stand. I love my mandolin and gave them away as gifts to my siblings this year for Christmas. :)

Perhaps putting it over a large shallow pan would be a better option than trying to balance it on a bowl. Put a non-skid mat under the pan for additional stability.

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

Mike, This is a standard size A style mandolin, so it should fit most (if not all) cases you find online. I do not know a specific brand to suggest, but I can provide you with the dimensions of the instrument if that helps. Just message me if you need the specs. Honestly, I would be confident in buying an "A" style mandolin case off of Amazon just assuming it will work.

This was a gift to my nice and the only comment was that she liked it. She had, on her Amazon wish list, chosen a different mandolin, which was not available which led to choose this model. I might suggest that you contact the manufacturer and seek a answer to your specific requirements.

I don't actually know. I have never played a mandolin. If the bridge is about the same size as a violin bridge, though, I think it would work the same.

Hi I am sorry I am overseas so I can't check the mandolin and answer your question. All I can tell you is I was very happy with the mandolin

No I would not suggest getting this. It was inexpensive for a reason. It is not heavy duty and you still have to turn the bowl yourself. I would spend a bit more money and get one with a bowl that turns. That is what I thought I was getting.

Mine has little pads built onto the feet already. I don't have much problem at all with sliding around. Also there is a small nook behind the feet that allow it to sit on the edge of a bowl so that the slices will fall right into the bowl.

You can but I don't. Like the other commenter, I like the bowl so much and don't want to scratch it.

On my F-Style mandolin...one end ties around the scroll at the top of the mandolinOn your A style....I suspect you would have to tie it around the head stock?

The blades have a storage case, but the one that stays in the mandolin does not have a cover so you do need to store it carefully.

Hi, Ruth, it is secured under the front of the bowl .....in a vise -like motion......very secure once you tighten up the knob from the outside. just like a vise would tighten...hope this helps. I liked it and it was invaluable post op .

Mandoline is very easy to use. I don't understand the reaction of Katie. I'am very satisfied with this mandoline and never had a problem slicing fruits, vegetables etc.

I agree with ATLshopDIVA (08/15/2014). A bowl with a bottom about the radius of the blade would be best, in my opinion.

There is no attachment made just for catching vegetables but there is a rubber strip covering the bottom front part of the mandolin. This strip has an indentation on either side large enough to accommodate a bowl. It is not removable but it works very well to keep the mandolin in place while preparing vegetables. BTW - this thing works really well.

You can play this mandolin with or without being plugged. When unplugged you have a loud and good sound depending on the picks and strings you use. When plugged to a 10 watt amp you fill ,let's say, a pub or a small hall with its sound, when you want to play in a concert hall you need more, of course. I use different picks for different songs and kinds of music, but you have to try out what suits you best. All in all it's a very nice instrument.

I did pretty much the same thing as the other person who answered, but only recessed it about 2", just enough so it wouldn't look like it was balanced on top of the counter. I prefer a little more solid look. Since the foil on the outside of the bowl can be delicate if it isn't well protected, read my reply to the question "does light go through...?" You don't want to damage the foil if there is movement between the counter and the bowl because of differences in expansion and contraction.
