I finally started to record some comparison of my A style mandolins from each of these master builders. This is Gilchrist 522 and Heiden 92, 2001 and 2018 builds respectively. The Gilchrist is Red...

Here's Dry Grass on the High Fields on a Ratliff Mandocello over Octave and Mandola chops.

Sounds like a good 'un!

I believe they can vary a bit.

Nice. Got a good sound to it. Better than the couple of Levin's I've heard around here.

Very Nice! You got a deal on that one!

I like it!

Sounds great.

Nice tremolo...ing.

Wow, that sounds great; if that had crossed my path I'd have paid more for it! Think you got a real bargain!
Had no idea Levin made such fine-sounding mandos.

Sounds great, I would buy one for that price with that sound, and I don't even need or want another mandolin. Well........

Nicely played! And what a pretty F-2!

I exchanged emails with Max and have sent a deposit to have him build me one of his Girouard F Concert Master mandolins with an oval hole. It will feature complete binding in triple bound, Waverly...

I was recording a couple of tunes for a customer so they could hear their mandolin in the white before I put finish on it, so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone and record a couple of...

Hey yall! This Tim O'Brien tune is one of my favorites. In the process of working on this one, I notated out the standard dots for it. On "Hard Year Blues" Tim plays the B and C parts up an octave...

For the record, I'm not selling anything. I'm just offering these to anyone interested. Norman's tunes and specifically this album, hold a special place in my heart. I just want these tunes...

Man, what fun catching up my reading on this thread, so much fun Norman Blake stuff going on here. Bruce, the Weave and Way was cool and the backing track sounds great. Don has posted up one of my...

A lovely tune. Heiden mandola?

Haven't learned a new one yet this weekend, but I found this one in my videos from 10 years ago :disbelief: and a lot of mandos ago. (A Campanella Due) The tune is Georgia Home from Original...

Thanks to Markus for reopening this thread...it prompted me to get out my 'Mandolin of Norman Blake' DVD for review. And thanks to all who contributed! Happy pickin'...:mandosmiley:

Don Grieser was mentioning Green Leaf Fancy - 4/20 significance ? Perhaps

Nice, Markus, sounds just right on the old Gibson--and thanks for bring this thread back up. We all need some more Norman and Nancy in our lives these days.

I transcribed this tune a couple years ago, sheet available in PDF and tabledit file here: http://www.markgunter.net/good_stuff/16/lyrics-tabs-song-charts

I'm thinking about printing this one to hang on the wall!

Why is that controversial? No one is forcing you to buy one. Neither are they forcing you to buy a brown piece of plastic for $35. So what is the problem?

Wanted to share this little gem filmed with John Reischman and Eli West at this past August's GMBR in Manchester, Vermont.

John's playing seems to effortless and smooth. Getting to be up close...
