Purely from theoretical side I agree, but you cannot control all the tiny details from manager seat or spec'ing them exactly to whoever is at the bench and the result is always sum of those tiny...
Hi everyone,
It looks like I joined back in 2016 but never posted.
I recently discovered the baroque mandolino and it’s fascinating music, so I have been lurking around here recently. I don’t...
Hi guys,
I’m keeping it. I’m working it out with the vendor and it will end up being a pretty sweet deal.
Just so you know, after they contacted me earlier in the week, they said that their...

I watched this great example of "The Man" at work, and could not find it posted before. I don't think Bill ever suffered stage fright. What a performer!:mandosmiley:...
The extended range of five courses, along with the richer tone and attack of doubled strings, means I can make a full sound in just a trio setting. Here I revisit a favorite Keith Jarrett tune from...

My daughters and I performed for an evening social gathering at the Fort Bridger Mountain Man Rendezvous. Here is one of the tunes we performed that night, featuring Liesl (16) on fiddle and...
I'm just curious, do you think using this Lloyd Loar label with his signature is any different that Gibson using Bill Monroe's signature on the limited HOF models? I personally think anyone buying...
I-m happy to see that Brian Obrlin has posted a transcription of Howdy Forrester's version on https://www.mandoberlin.com/lessons/Brilliancy_Howdy.pdf -- which is superior to that of Sam Bush...

Man, that is so incredible! The styles - hair, clothes, etc., are brutal; but that is some fine MUSIC!!! Today, playing “One Love,” wearing a Bob Marley shirt at a bluegrass festival would be no...

Here's "White Rabbit" by Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, with Dominick Leslie on mandolin. I'm not crazy over this version, but thought I'd post it because I don't think it's been posted here...
Nicely played Tim. I like the arpeggios.
Managed to get out and see the sun the other day, temperatures above freezing.
This winter is almost over! :) Here’s a great Reischman tune that I’m...
I just stumbled across these guys, very nice....

I hope this link works. It's from Twitter and while I've embedded many's a YouTube video, I haven't, as far as I can remember, pasted a Twitter link before.
