Not sure what constitutes the "current spotlight", as Sturgill has been making waves for the last 7-8 years on the edges of country music. He's part of a push against mainstream country, and I, for...

A few years ago my wife and I were down sizing in preparation for a move and we sold 99.9% of our LPs. I got rid of all the old time stringband, David Grisman, Jethro, Bob Wills, etc, etc.

Hello everyone,

Hamilton De Holanda just released a great collaboration with Joao Bosco, Canto de Praya that is out now.

Thought I would post this since it involves Bandolim and MPB more than...

Returning home from Florida in 5 weeks and then the 70 mile drive to Mr. Stiver to pickup my new mandolin and hopefully forever put an end to my MAS.
Sold my much enjoyed Coliiings MT in September...

. . . and he has Jethro's A5!

f-d

Larry, that was my first Station Inn show and I'll be back for Monroe Camp and the show again this year. Sorry I didn't get to meet you.

Received the Schwab #79 5 string and took it for a test run today. I gotta say, I've not played an electric instrument (guitar or mandolin) that plays quite like this. Many thanks to MrMando and...

U. Srinivas is outstanding.

How interesting. So it would appear that Tiny had at least 2 of these "Tiny" Roberts mandolins; the other one is at Skip's Music in Sacramento.

Note that the knobs don't match, the name "TINY"...

Now why doesn't Fender re-issue something like this Gretsch 6127 Duo Jet Tenor Guitar?

We are still very much in business... and I apologize for the long wait between issues 44 and 45. We took a little longer than usual and then switched printers (this time to one finally in the USA)...

I my tenor tele came in yesterday, I quickly converted it to GDAE and have had about 24 hours with it. Here are my first thoughts:

Here’s a few pics of a special order Apitius Club Jazz mandolin I just just received. I knew Oliver Apitius was a one man shop, and wondered if he could do a custom headstock inlay . I provided him...

NFI... But having ordered an eastwood classic this would be a good companion!!

While I'm far from expert on such stuff, I was thinking that the label looks more like Xerox gray than like old-paper sepia.

I don't think Gibson made any flat-top guitars before the late 1920s. Their whole sales pitch was the carved soundboards. Other than the label (and of course no-one has ever faked one of those) there...

The headstock, the bridge and the saddle should be raising flags for the experts here.

There comes a time in threads like these where I feel compelled to point out that Thile thinks long and hard about things like picks, strings, instruments, microphones and how to use them to make...

Hey Folks,

Tried to post this in the Grateful Dead Section but I don't see it. So here is a China Cat Sunflower lesson. Hope it is useful and let me know what you think!

I received a request...
