I had the pleasure of meeting Peter (also during his World Tour) at Marty Jacobson's shop. I was really impressed with the Pagan myself. Loved having a chance to play a new instrument from a talented...

Likin' that a lot, Tommy! (Am I gonna get to pick it?)

Yes? Big believer in the CA bridge. Steve's workmanship is impeccable, the ebony is first-rate, and they are built to very tight tolerances.It'll make a very positive impact on tone and volume. I...

+1 on this! Love my JB. Jeff Cowherd is killin' it

I decided to pass on the DR's. This thing has developed a really sweet sound that I love, and from what I've read, the MD11's aren't geared for that type of sound. Still loving the Silk 'n' Bronze,...

I'll be back home Tuesday, should go out Wednesday.

I'll match Alan's offer with a set of DR MD11's. May as well experiment!

Cee Cee, Great to see ya back on the Cafe, and anxious to see how your building pursuit goes! Very happy to hear you're beginning to see some light again. There are a lot of great folks around here,...

I think it finally hit me how I'd describe the characteristic SA tone. IMHO, it's a slightly "Darker" sound than what wold be considered standard for an F hole instrument. Really appeals to me.Very...

Hope ya weren't looking for a "drier" tone!

For $1300, somebody needs to leap on this! A SA 2 point at that price is a deal and a half. (Wonder how much I could get for my first-born?)

I've only played one, belonging to David Mold (Old Sausage). LOVED IT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=22&v=oNovt-Re6hMKen's mandos are one of the most original builds going. Very recognizable tone,...

Or if it falls off the bridge and misses the canoes?

That's a beauty! Congrats. I've never heard anything but good about Collings instruments. I predict much joy!

Beats another Blue Chip thread, for my money. Congrats to the happy parental yoonits!

I'm listening to J. Walsh more than pretty much anybody lately. Love his style, LOVE that Gil, and he just seems to play a groove better than anybody else on mando these days. Thanks for posting that.

Thanks for the hard work and kind words, Tom!Still playin' the frets off, and still evident is everything we heard Sunday. Very balanced, solid tone (and it was good before). PLENTY 'o' volume! I'm...

Well, finally got the CA bridge installed, along with the Silk 'n' Bronze strings.Gonna give it a week or so to see how they settle in before I give a definitive review, but so far, this combo has...

To call David an "Interesting Personality" is to damn with faint praise. One of the really good folks yo'll ever rn into.

Greatest Norm line ever!
How's it goin' Mr. Peterson?
It's a dog-eat-dog world, and I'm wearin' MilkBone underwear!
+1 On the CA bridge, BTW. I've got one sitting here, got to get it to my Luthier...

I cannot wait to see this. Sam has a special place in my heart for his constant inventiveness and willingness to experiment.Probably the single biggest influence on my deciding to tackle mandolin....

Add to that the fact that the man owns a Corvair Monza! Truly a Reinesan......Renisa....... Rinesanc....Aw, A Really Cool Guy!

That's me, Nick, O.M.G (Original Mandolin Gangsta)
