Just want to give Charles the props he's due.

Purchased this from him. Just a great, easy experience.

He was honest, patient, and great to work with.

I wouldn't hesitate to do...

Was recently visited by Elijah Bedel from Ohio, so we went down to the sea to record a few tunes.

Hi Folks and thank you for the congratulations sent my way. Yes, I’m Greg D from Pennsylvania. I’m actually just a tad north of Pittsburgh. Although I don’t post much I’ve been a member here since...

Hey there everybody! Dan from Mandolins and Beer here! Been a while! I’ve started playing music pretty much full time now and have been working on something I call Lick of the Day.

I’ve been...

Since no one's posted it yet, board member Brad Klein filmed a great conversation with Michael Daves about mimicking vocal ornamentation with a mandolin to come up with variations on the melody....

And the harmony. And the fiddle solo.

Chris is consistently knocking it out of the park.

Full disclosure: Chris is just my absolute favorite. He's a lifelong student of music, and committed as much to his peers as to his craft.

Living in Richmond, Virginia I rarely venture up to my hometown of Washington, D.C. That said, my duet buddy had extra tickets for Friday's Thile show, which included performances by Punch Brothers,...

I thought I'd go ahead and make a home for this video here in the forum since I think it may be of help to some players. And I also think it stands alone quite well, even though we produced it to go...

I'm in.

Holy cow, went to a house concert to see Mr. Sun last night. They were amazing. Every player was a virtuoso. I love Joe K. Walsch's style. He has all the chops, but doesn't overplay. Reminds me of...

Its a gateway drug, that lets you in on the real thing - which is music itself. The mandolin (or ukulele or guitar or whatever) gives you a place to stand that is "inside" the music. Nolonger just an...

More than ten years ago.. Rauhouse in full effect.. :) Horrible phone recording, but at least you get to see the tenors:

Love it when she first starts singing....
