    Re: Northfield Recurve or Hiscox?

    With a Tone guard the mando should fit ok in the Airloom. My Northfield F5 is very loose not having one. It is a firm shell case. Definitely not a hard shell. I don’t know anything about Hiscox but...

    Outside of Avi and Jacob, who are these players?

    Strangely enough, every time someone mentions Kerman's name I keep hearing the words "No soup for you."

    Re: Who is Behind "The Loar" Company?

    As far as I know all the mandolins you mention are made in China.
    There can be a wide difference from mandolin to mandolin so my advice is play it before you buy it.
    IK that's hard for some people...

    I always have to chuckle when people express amazement over the pro use of those Shure mics, after all, they’ve been industry standards for a reason. They get the job done well and they’re rugged....

    Re: Thile using an SM57 mic

    SM57s have been around for years but I think they are a little different now.

    Re: Looking for something darker and throatier

    Hey Josh,

    Like several here, “dark and throaty” made me think of an Ellis A5 or even an oval. But if you’re committed to an F5, then I’d look for a small builder who is under the radar and then...

    Re: 61 F5 at Carters

    yes, the 50's and 60's F5 and F12 were custom order only instruments, or made to order. A dealer would normally get a downpayment (it varied) and the order was placed. It could take 6 months to 2...

    Re: Which way do musicians make more money?

    I must agree with this, even though it's off-topic (and I'm about to veer that way as well) - I believe the point here is how to best generate income from a musical career, not fund one with outside...

    Streaming services pay about $0.0035 - $0.005 per stream. You have to be a HUGE name to make any money from streaming.

    Any time you purchase directly from the source, that source has a better chance of collecting the monies from the sale. The shortest point between two entities is always a straight line.
