You can do it yourself, or you can hire a lawyer to do it.
I recommend doing it yourself, assuming that your band is
at a level where it is really worth it (or that you have a
particularly great name).  To do this, call Washington D.C.
information and get the phone number for the Trademark Office.
Call them and they will send you an info packet.

The advantage to having a lawyer do it is that they will generally
first do a trademark search to make sure no one else is already
using the name.  If you don't have this search done, you will end
up spending the $400 or so that the Trademark Office charges, and
you may end up finding out that there was already someone who had
trademarked your name.  I don't believe your $400 is refundable in
this case.

Keep in mind also that the fact that a name is officially trademarked
is not necessarily the bottom line.  There is precedent that prior
documented usage of a name is sufficient to claim ownership regardless
of whether the name has been trademarked.  If you have dated documentation
of usage of your name (especially out of your home state or country),
you should make sure to save it.

It sounds like for the kind of playing you would be doing, and I'm guessing
here, an A style mandolin would be more appropriate.  The As generally have
a more mellow, woody sounding tone, but less volume.  The F style, or scroll
top instruments used by most bluegrass musicians have more "punch", a crisper
attack and more volume.

Elderly's quoted prices are a good indication of what a good, but not great
price would be for an instrument.  When you take into account that you don't
have to pay local sales tax, if applicable, sometimes their price can be
about as good as you could get by arm-twisting someone at a local store.  Their
used prices tend to be a little toward the high end of fair value, but they
aren't trying to make a fortune on every sale.

I bought a guitar mail order from Elderly a few years ago, and had a good 
experience, but I was really not crazy about buying a instrument I had never
held in my hands and played, but they do have a good return policy.  I'd 
suggest that before buying anything mail order, though, do what I did with
this guitar, and at least play one like it somewhare locally, either one a
friend has or one at a local music store.

Once, in a voice lesson, I was straining to reach a high note and was
coming up flat (and very tight).  My teacher told me not to reach for
the note but to mentally come down and land on the note from above.
After a little concentration I overshot the note by a halfstep and it
was a full sound (not tight).  Learning how to relax on the high notes
was a big breakthrough for me.  I still have to work at it but I've
noticed my useful upper limit extended by about a major third this
past year.  For a baritone trying to sing a genre of music that is
dominated by tenors, the extra range is very important.

At the local vendor/luthier/collector's shop where we
purchase our acoustic instruments, he recently sold a
rather older Martin mandolin (1926 I believe) for a few
dollars.  Like, $26,000 of them.  Sure sounded nice.

I've heard that the 411 Sonic Maximizer has inputs that match a guitar (or
hi-z mic). Is it specifically designed for this function, or is it just
a mono version of the 422, but has an inputs for guitar and line levels?

I have a friend that bought a 422 to primarily use it between two tape decks,
but was under the impression that he could also use it for guitar. Now he
thinks he HAS to buy a 411 as well! 

I keep telling him there's got to be an easy way to match impedances, isn't
there?

One of you guys who has the wisdom on this PLEASE clear things up for me, OK?

P.S. If the solution involves buying some kind of preamp for a $100 or more,
     he might as well pick up the 411 (it's on sale at a local store here for
     $120 while they last)... sooo... we're talkin' `bout wanting CHEAP

It's more a case that many people who have music degree's are likely to teach.  
It certainly isn't necessary (though it may be usefull). I seem to recall that  
to be employed by an English local authority to teach an instrument in schools,  
they insisted that you have a grade 8 qualification (have got the technical  
side pretty much sussed - No virtuoso[after all - I got one:-)], but ready to  
tackle things as a musician rather as a player of the instrument), though of  
course everything helps.

However someone who has a degree has a guarenteed level of background knowledge  
- they can read music, have a good grasp of theory, and generaly understand  
they why's as well as the how's. The why's are usefull simply as a player - I  
would consider they are essential for a teacher. I think that this is prehaps  
more relevant to voice training where the technique is hidden, and needs to be  
explained well, as it is particularly difficult to demonstrate.

If the student is happy with the teacher (and is making progress) then there  
isn't realy a problem. For some subjects it may be best to learn from someone  
with a formal qualification - you certainly don't want to learn bad techniques,  
but then again you want to learn stuff that is relevent to you. I was taught  
keyboards by a guy who made a living giging round the local clubs. There are  
VERY big gaps in my technique on this instrument, but I have held down  
positions in local bands on the basis of this. I learnt what I needed, and I  
was able to apply stuff that I've learnt on other instruments to allow me to  
recognise and (if necessary) address those problems. I know many piano players  
who are technicaly far better than me who fall over in a band situation (or  
certainly piss off the bass player :-) ).

Enough rambling... 
I would say a good teacher needs (in no particular order)
1)	Skill on the instrument
2)	Understanding of the Instruments operation
3)	Reasonably strong theoretical understanding of Music
4)	An ability to convey the above to a student.
If these are obtained via a degree then all well and good, but depending on  
where you want to go, somweone with giging experience might be better. After  
all, Joe Satriani is recogised as having taught guitar to a significant  
proportion of the worlds greatest players. He certainly meets the above  
criterea, though he has no formal qualifications.

I have to follow that up with a big YES. I had other guitars when I found
my D-41 - I've sold them all now, I never played them anymore. Anyone still
playing Japanese/Eastern instruments, get out there and play a Martin. Don't
forget there are many other excellent makers, both in the states and here in
England, turning out small numbers of instruments that are every bit as good.
Not a Martin of course, not that 'Martin' sound - a different sound, a
complementary sound. Ignore these makers at your peril !
