I love the sound of this Ellis.

Baron from mandolessons.com Ellis sounds great as well.

I would like to say that the time I have spent with Ken told me all I need to know about this man. One thing, he is generous with his time, knowledge, and material possessions. Ken is also a true...

Well, you seem to be completely missing the point here. The 2% requested donation is based on the SALE PRICE, not the profit. So please don't make this about something that it's not. Besides, the...

That actual Brentrup was for sale already for muchh less...
Just knowing that, I can't do it... Nope
Not saying it shouldn't be, just saying it wasn't

There's an awful lot of speculation and misinformation in this thread, but also some pretty insightful speculation as well. I could probably write a book on the history of Weber mandolins, the sale...

Huh. I rest my case on my early comments in this thread. This girl has got more talent than most of the folks talked about here. You can see what happens when slavish imitation is not the intent, but...

Nice technique he uses here - some form of crosspicking?

I was cruising YT videos for a version of AF to copy and found this. Gonna slow it down and see if it is something I can learn to do.

Hi,

I've been playing a couple of years and still have difficulty with the first 2 frets of the e string. It just seems like there's not room to bend my finger comfortably and that it's too...

He used what he had...
...and when he lived over in Idaho, he had an Engelmann source.
I sold him Sitka, and I know he used it...

Same with the maple he chose to use--a lot of it is unfigured...

just hold on to something and watch, i will say no more, wow-the tool pile at 3:15

this is actually pretty cool, keep this for last

I took a similar path a couple years ago in starting to learn "Irish" flute (simple system, conical bore wooden flute). It wasn't for the airs, but more to explore articulation on the sustained tone,...

How critical is it? That depends on the environment that the finished instrument is exposed during it's lifetime. If the instrument is made in a location where the seasonal variations in temperature...

I'm going to post the answer I provided you for the benefit of others.


Known seller with history on the Classifieds, no complaints. Anyone with a complaint has already been removed from...

Hey fellow mandolin warriors. To put fears to rest. There are no intensions of ever moving any part of Weber to China. We will remain a domestically built family of instruments.

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. As someone who was intimately involved with Weber for 12 years, and as one of the few people who made the move to Bend from Montana, I saw the writing...

I completely agree with TonyP. I know it's pure speculation (though not completely unfounded) at this point as to whether Two Old Hippies will do something similar to Weber, but the signs don't look...

I didn't know it was there.

Well, in that case ... I've been dying to post this

and this. Clearly not the same...

Big thank you to these two fellows for giving back to the people of this forum.

really enjoying the lessons and learning at mandolessons.com.
I appreciate the site Baron has developed highly.

This is nonsense, just nonsense.

What a shame this thread has been derailed. I am not going to tell anyone what should or should not offend them. But it is tough to understand why anyone would be offended about the word "wife"...

Hey Guys,

Had to share this with y`all... *WARNING: loud - nasty - very un-bluegrassy mandolin playing in this thread* :-P

My "Punk Rock Hillbilly" band got to do two shows on the Hits N Pits...

Dude...Your two posts perfectly illustrate the problem here. Hard to expect two people to agree on something when one person can't agree with himself.

I've debated bringing this up for a while now and have decided I would like to see what others think.

I recently bought a mandolin on a 48 hour approval agreement. The mandolin arrived and I...

I was able to interview Marla Fibish last week. Here's a transcript of her comments about playing Irish music on the mandolin.
