    Re: RIP Dickey Betts

    Dickey's musical contributions would fill volumes and his passing is bittersweet. He and Duane blended their styles as tight as can be imagined . . . close your eyes and be transported to another...

    Couldn't agree more with you. Thankfully there are many gifted players and there's a ton of things to admire about Mr. Grisman, but the shear volume and remarkable variety of his compositions is...

    Re: More Gibson Antics

    Not here to defend Gibson, but in 130 years you're going to have some ups and downs. When you go back through the eons you will see most of our legends with their beloved Gibson F5 in their hands....

    I agree . . . I just saw this 1929 being talked about over on a FB group. This top is exactly what I like to see & one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. He said it was completely original.

    Re: Did My Own Speed Neck

    Nice job Nick. I love the speed neck on mine, feels and plays great. Wow, you also reprofiled the neck - what's up next, regraduating the top? ;)

    Re: Wooden tailpiece cover

    Perhaps you could find someone on Etsy. I love the idea and don't think it's a bit blingish. I think it's an untapped area for innovation, esp for the smaller builders. There's only a handful of...

    Re: USA-made budget mandos, who's who?

    Plenty of good choices. Older Gibson A4s can be had under 2k. I'll second Ken Ratcliff and Howard Morris (a 2pt in the classifieds). I owned a RAG F model and it was quite good for the dollars. Good...

    Mandolin Tuner App

    I've tired several phone app tuners and they're all pretty good, but I'm really liking this one. Seems very easy and precise to tune with. Not affiliated, just think it's one worth trying.

    Here's a nice video from Mark Knopfler talking about John Monteleone and his personal connection. I'll bet that Mark would have some tasty chops on the mandolin too. BTW, this entire concert is on...

    The Bulas mandolin

    Featured on today's Mandolin Mondays, Ms. Jastrzebska plays an original tune on her Bulas F model. Very interesting the two nods to two iconic luthiers --- the headstock from the Giacomel J5 and the...
