    Re: NPD - Wegen TF 100

    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...

    Re: Mandolin is guitar upside down?

    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...

    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.

    Re: 2020 Duff A5

    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?
