Have you seen this video of James and Carl doing it?:

They play the 3rd part kind of sparingly.

I've used Wegens exclusively for years. Best tone to my ears. I have the TF100 but only really use it for guitar when it needs to be as loud as possible (ALAP!), like in big jams or playing to a mic...
Something I always thought notable is the use of "East Virginia", which of course is simply the state of Virginia, also referred to as The Old Dominion. But this is used to contrast with West...
Thanks for your continued hard work Scott. I'll miss looking at the guitar ads but I get it.
Cheers,

"Maybe they're discontinuing the F-9 to reintroduce the A-5 as a more affordable Gibson model."
Interesting thought but if they brought back an A-5 I'd expect it would be priced just as high (or...
Besides what's already been suggested I'd talk to him about the set-up on your new instrument. Like if you know you like the action a certain way and a certain set of strings ask him to get it set...
Take care Charley. Here's a link to a visible (daytime) satelite loop for Florida:

I was told that when I was first starting out on mando about 20 years ago. But I guess I've learned over the years that it's hard for me to imagine the two instruments being much more different. Just...
Hey, if you're doing that trip again in the coming years wait a few days and head up to Galax Fiddlers Convention. The largest collection of red hot bluegrass and oldtime pickers and singers on the...
Hey, late to the party here. I play a lot of oldtime and bluegrass both in jams and in band/performance settings. As many have indicated there are a lot of ways to skin a cat on the mandolin. A...
No recent experience with this but I would think with the way things are going with flights, boarding, overbooking, etc. this could be kind of a nightmare.

As an employee of the USDA Forest Service I feel compelled to advise against planting anything non-native. Here in the southeast basically all of the non-native invasive species (NNIS) - herbs,...
Thanks Daniel, I really enjoyed the conversation and thanks for posing my question. Paul, really fun hearing your voice and a little about your story. Your A-5 #231 is getting lots and lots of play...
Cool Daniel! I'd be intersted to hear his thoughts on tone/attack differences he hears between his tone bar and X-braced instruments. Also, do you know if he's ever done any oval hole instruments?

"Congratulations! Man, that’s a gorgeous mandolin. I initially passed on a Duff “Scout” F model, which was supposedly the only one he’s built with the back unbound and some other “Econo” features, at...

It's verbing or nominalization that is most discouraging to me. The pages herein are jam packed with "can't wait for my new build"!

I think you're going to like it Daryl!

I've got a 2018 A5 from Paul. It's excellent. I was talking with Andrew Marlin when I was shopping around for a new instrument and he advised something that stuck with me. Obviously there are lots of...
I did not intend to derail the poll thread with mention of the doghouse, but since we're there here's the one I play. If you turn on its side and sit on a bench you can sort of pluck it like a...
Why yes I do. Now, I've taken to packing up my vintage flattop after midnight at the fiddlers conventions to get out my modern/recent guitar for the rowdy early morning hours.

Part of what I like about older or more trad bluegrass mandolin is that the chop chords were often fingered chords and had actual tonality. Or they were open chords (or double stops) with some ring....
Hey, I was lucky enough to get a new Rosine that that Oliver put up on the cafe spring of '20. It's an excellent instrument, I love it. And Oliver is great. I'm not far from Pilot Mountain, just a...
Excellent tone Amanda!
