This week on Mandolin Mondays, premier mandolin luthier Steve Gilchrist takes us on a tour of his workshop in Lake Gnotuk, Australia for a taste test of a restored April 12, 1923 Lloyd Loar alongside one of Steve's own Model 5's from 2017.
Steve is perhaps one of the most well known and respected luthiers in the greater mandolin community. With some of the most notable mandolin players in the world sporting his instruments, his works speaks for itself. Yet, not only is he a master craftsman, his mandolin playing is among the best as well.
Here's a word from Steve about the tune he is sampling in this video, "The tune is one I made-up called "Gnotuky", named after the lake we live on here called Lake Gnotuk. It doesn't sound like a lake, I know..."
For anyone interested, Steve takes orders for new mandolins through the Carter Vintage website here: https://cartervintage.com/
