Here you go -- one of my first and favorite arrangements for the Ecco Mandolin Ensemble, Traveller's Prayer by John Renbourn, performed on all L&H Instruments (the dola, cello, and bass from the...
Funny story........When I was moving from Guam back to the US, the movers didn't have anymore packing material left and I didnt want it to get delayed, so I put my Martin case in a larger box and...
The latest blue celcon picks I received are the size of the BC TAD picks. The BC CT55 is a hair larger than the blue celcon. I don't have any BC TP picks.
Just a reminder that I needed to polish...
Mick:
If you really want to get deep into this music for the tunes (not songs) I highly recommend this super fake book compiled by Olivier Demers from the famous group Le Vent Du Nord: 1000 airs...
I just happened across this brief youtube video thanks to their autosuggestion function. It's only a couple of years old and includes some interesting information. For one thing, it mentions plans by...
This is my latest 4th generation flat top mandolin. This is the culmination of 12 years of work improving the sound of the flat top mandolin. It all started from the fact that it is possible to...
Sorry Ranald, though Lisa is mentioned in Danse Ce Soir, she is not the author. Laurie Hart and Greg Sandell are the co-authors. And right now you can get 30% off if you order directly from...
Tony Williamson put this video together for a seller who had no experience shipping a valuable instrument. We thought it was well done and had great information that it should be available to all for...
You might be interested in Lisa Ornstein's (bilingual) book, Danse Ce Soir – Fiddle and Accordion Music of Quebec (Mel Bay). She's an ethnomusicologist and an excellent fiddler, who has been studying...
That isn't a Kentucky KM-Dawg model mandolin.

I was doing some research on trying to find some French Canadian Folk Songs since we will be spending the summer in Quebec Province and yes, I did study some French in my education but sadly, can...
Right on Eric, every Loar or Fern has something! And yep the Kimmel Fern I liked a lot. New owner is very pleased with it.
Yeah, what Scott said. Yikes.

We're going to recommend that domain is likely a very unsafe place to do business. Doesn't take too long with some web searches to find a lot of people that agree with that assessment. YMMV.

Harmony was building some nice instruments back then. They were competing as a musical instrument rather than the commodity they became. I seriously doubt they had anyone on staff that was concerned...
I also played the BC for years, but thought they were too dark sounding for me. I liked the glide thru the strings. I went to Wegen, I even have them made thinner, and love the sound. They do wear...
Yep, ended at $585 plus $38 shipping plus tax. Someone will have over $600 in this before the first repair is attempted.
My logic is, "how much is a nice one?" Then, you subract the cost of the...
Just recently I paid a visit to Peter Coombe in Bega on a shorty round trip in SE Australia. I came across his fourth generation flat top mandolin he showed me. I compared it with all of his other...
No, mine was all black. Don't be fooled by "today's asking prices," in my opinion they are worth $200-250 max and only as a wall-hanger, at that. BUT, more power to prices fueled by internet fads...
I hope that Norman Blake is doing well (and Nancy Blake also of course). Yes, happy birthday!
While he excels on pretty much any stringed instrument I am particularly happy with his guitar...
It has been on ebay for several years. Has a fair amount of damage under the tailpiece.
Sadly, this is one of those tunes that is probably getting a bit tired and worn, but only because it's one of the most rocking reels ever written. If Led Zeppelin would have composed a reel, this...

I haven't played any mandolins worth more than 10k. I've played most of the usual suspects in that 4-7k range and haven't found anything that beats my Girouard A5 Concert.
Looking back, there was...
