I was there also. 8 rows back. It was awesome. Honestly, you don't fully realize until you are there in person, but it is 200%better in person. Not to detract from the music, but the skits were...
Friends, Romans, Countrymen,
I am heading to CA (specifically starting in SF and Taking Highway 1 down to LA, and finally ending up in San Diego). Are there any music stores that you "HIGHLY"...
Hah. I recorded that video a years ago when I went to Barcelona.
The price was raised?? I'm no expert negotiator, but...
Not to hijack the thread, but, you mentioned that you were looking at a gallatin. Another instrument that is a lower price but in my opinion and easily comparable instrument would be a Morris...
Morris over Hyalite easily (coming from a former Morris owner)
Old town pickin parlor in Arvada and Denver folklore center.
As a fello lefty the best advice I can give you is to play right handed. It makes a lot of sense in the long run. Difficult to find left handed Mandos. Typical they are not symmetrical.

Agree w previous poster. Finicky little strings. No. You don't have to buy the strings that are labeled "tenor guitar". .1 gauge is the same regardless of the instrument it says it is for. ...
I am having a moment of temporary insanity and would love for someone to talk me out of it. I blame it on the fact that my wife is out of town. At any rate all of the instruments that I built so far...
Look up the book by graham McDonald. Likely exactly what you are looking for.

I have the base model blue ridge tenor. In addition I own a flat top Gibson T00(guessing from the 60s) and a harmony stellla from the 70's. I was surprised to find that the blue ridge sounds the...
Mandobart beat me to it. Agree with a Morris.
howdy ... Just picked up this old gibson TG0 Shes got her FAIR SHARE of battle scars, but is actually very fun to play. The finish is cracked throughout (the technical term escapes me at the...
Thanks eddy and Allan I don't have any shops nearby so will have to try next time I am traveling for work wow Eddie. You have quite the collection. I have seen that set that is bottom center with...
Cant speak too much on the direct comparison, buti give a definite thumbs up for morris mandolins.
