Bluegrass Life posted this on Facebook, and now that I know Doc has held a mandolin in his hands, I am assured it is a sacred instrument.

I have a G110, I 've had it since about 2005, I 've had offers on it even though I am not selling it, and I am not selling it. I almost bought the CT110 there was one right next to it but this one...

is that a Rigel ?
well, that's it, no hope for you now. There are support groups for this in most areas of the country, but in the end we just wind up encouraging each other to go ahead and make that purchase, heck...
Here is a Bayard 26 inch based on the 24 Loar K5, really nice tone on this
I'll admit 26 inches scares me a little

My son shares a Birthday with him, but that was not intentional on my part ( or was it?).
So happy to hear professional performers talking about Norman and playing his music at shows. He is...
Gee Frank,
now I feel like my woman done left me, my friends don't talk to me, my dog won't even let me pet him, lost my job, and spent my last handful of change on a bottle of cheap bourbon I...
I know Matt Flinner has a 24-25 inch scale octave, which is about the same as a Mandocello. I imagine tone would be good, it may be quieter than as a mandocello.
Maybe 15 years ago octave mandolins...
I am already thinking of the atrocities I would commit to get my hands on that Loar

I am bringing my index finger to the 5th fret of the E string and then the middle finger on the 7th of the A ( so making a double stop), go back and forth between the two strings
then walk up from...
Doesn't sound bad, I think the problem with most Pac Rim that I have encountered has not been with the build, its generally the wood material and the finish, and its usually the finish that "limits"...
if you look at very early Gregorian Chant notation there is no key indication, we've come full circle in the 20th century when Arnold Schoenberg proposed the 12 tone system, there are 12 tones - do...
Thanks for the support guys, I have to give a shout out to Frankdolin and Jozef Schiener, who took the time when asked to listen to some of the early mixes of this project and gave very wise audio...

Blakes March - what a fun tune, I am hopelessly obsessed
thanks to Flinner and Walsh for bringing that back around

John Reischman, Butch Baldasarri and Robin Bullock recorded it on thier "Travellers" album, John also teaches it in his Peghead Nation melodic tunes course.
One of the great...

Strangely I have recently taken an interest in Italian mandolin music, oddly the Irish and Italians were sworn enemies on the streets of 1930s Utica NY as my Father would...
Listening to other Italian players, I would say the Carmelo Sciplino style is more of a regional folk style than even a classical form.
My impression is in tremolo, the interval between down...
I came upon this version of an Italian tune, I must admit I really enjoyed the mandolin style, where I find the tremolo technique and result to be very different from that of "American" mandolin in...
