73755.... July 9, 1923.... was a very good day for mandolins.

Happy Birthday to a wonderful mandolin that has made and continues to make wonderful music...

There really just aren't that many Monteleone mandos out there...

I agree ref the tone of the 23 vs 24.... however, some of that might very well be in the hand of the player rather than the instrument itself...

Sorry, but if you are asking this question, I fear that you might be challenged in hearing what is in tune or out of tune at ANY time. The answer to your question is : you need to check your tuning...

here is a fairly recent interview with Herschel, by Christopher Henry.... It could be as recent as a month or two ago...

doesn't look right.... scroll, and protector points look dubious

sully's..... great guy to work with.... fantastic leather, straps made to order, or pick from his stock... worth every penny.... I have six of them from mandocello, on down to piccolo... his stuff...

comment ref "not the same with mandolins" is TOTALLY a personal feeling of Mandobar.... others totally disagree.

I have never really understood how some of the “pros” and accomplished pickers have gone for so long and developed their chops so far and STILL render bleeding ears from all the pick clicks. If you...

it is indeed in the Photo... the fifth Loar from the front... in front of the framed picture that is mentioned !

One option that many like ... a speed neck, or a bare neck stripped of any finish. Or never finished with varnish at all. I personally prefer a neck like that, but certainly a matter of choice...

Generally a pretty darn good job of distressing as a match... pretty awful job of matching the tailpiece cover engraving...

there is some obscure guy that pretty much used this forceful down stroke/down stroke/down stroke "rest stroke attack work well for him.... I think his name was like.... Bill Monroe

Happy birthday to the “First Fern”. Wonderful sound, great soul, maybe the only Fern which never had a Virzi installed. Continues to play tunes for folks and jams here and there....

What it comes down to..... what is it worth to you. End of story
If the question is even asked, concerning a value, one can assume that the item is not worth it to the one posing the question.

Amazing that in the entire piece the little finger is used only six times. I could be off one or two counts

you might get hold of one of the newer D'Addario Chris Thiele picks.... I have tried them along with the Bluechip and they have a really good feel, same thickness as Bluechip, a bit less...

I believe the number of Loar signed instruments was 24

Bump on this. I worked this out years ago, but have lost it from my brain and from my tab files. Anyone have this?

NOT a Gibson peghead scroll... that is all one can say

If you ever get the chance to AB two Loars with and without Virzi, don’t pass up the opportunity.
That goes for Mandolas as well, although I think there was only one Mandola built without a Virzi...
