  4. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    I play both mandolin and guitar, and I'm always on the hunt for exceptional-sounding instruments. One thing I have learned from 40-plus years of trading and 60-plus years of playing:

    Finally, a Lyon & Healy Set

    It took a good long while and more wheeling and dealing (and spousal apologizing) than I've ever done, but I've managed to put together a full Lyon & Healy Quartet.

  9. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    I played over 40 Lloyd Loar signed mandolins, mandolas, and mandocellos plus a ton of other great instruments in the last two months.

    Guess what? They all sounded like me playing an old mandolin....

    Haven't seen this discussed and maybe it's not known, but one of the complaints we heard early on is that hide glue wasn't used in the construction of these. Not our area of expertise, but most...

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    I'd save a lot of $ and buy a Hogan F5 and get an accurate copy of a Loar F5. If I did buy one, I'd dig the name out of the headstock with a pocket knife just for their constant lawsuit threat...
  16. Ian Coury on mandolin accompaniment of choro

    IMHO, the limiting factor for choro in the US is not a lack of melody players, but of accompanists. Given how few cavaquinho players there are in N America, it will often fall to the mandolin player...
