Tony Williamson put this video together for a seller who had no experience shipping a valuable instrument. We thought it was well done and had great information that it should be available to all for...
Have mentioned this numerous times - my favorites are probably the Fern Dick Kimmel owned (which I believe is now in Germany) and the Lloyd LaPlant that was played by Bob Douglas. (Although every one...
I wasn't intending to make a video to post here, however I made a video for my Facebook friends for St. Paddy's Day. It turned out well so I put it on Youtube, and so maybe I should post it here...
They are living as quietly as possible, and both doing quite well.
Thanks for posting the Joe Mendel vid Chuck, those are some nice chords on that octave, I really need to practice arpeggios in this style.
I just read that Norman Blake turned 86 on 10th March, and I would like to wish him well.
I saw him play on my first trip to the USA in 1977, and have always enjoyed him ever since.
Thanks for...
Here's some Blues. Thanks for the Listen!:mandosmiley:

Being relatively close to Lowe Vintage and having taken a couple of trips to Carter's and Gruhn's, I've been able to get my hands on some good 'uns. I've played three Loars (two 1923s and a 1924). 2...
Hi Ray. I have a very protective Calton to use when this instrument is traveling in any situation that think has even the slightest risk to it.Trust me, I'm extremely cautious with this instrument. ...
This is one of my warm up exercises, recorded during hybrid-style-folksongs sessions in March 6, 2020.

It’s woodshed time, with a lovely mazurka written by Nigel Gatherer. (Portpatrick is in beautiful Scotland).
Here it’s 200 feet below the snow line near a little village...

At $350-$420, these cases aren’t cheap (to me, at least, but then I’ve never bought $600-$2000 cases), but I’ve been wanting ONE case to carry both a mandolin and violin to jams or on trips. I was...

Yesterday evening the sky over my house looked just like the quilted maple on the back of a mandolin. Snapped a quick pic and wanted to share.
:grin:
I thought folks on this board might be interested in this video I made of the classic western swing fiddle tune Red Wing. I like exercises that force you to be creative within specific parameters - I...
Here's a set of Irish jigs played on my Collings MT.
Sweet Biddy Daly, The Banks of Lough Gowna and Jackson's Jig. One or two bum notes but hey - there's a lot of notes!

Happy to announce that my OM is complete. Here's the builder himself with a video he created a week before sending it across the pond -- certainly putting the instrument to better advantage than I...
If you like them twice as much, or the same and they'll last twice as long: yes. If neither: no. If both: H*** Yes!
If you do send it back, insist that they send you a call tag and they insure it. Most carrier insurance gets denied and you will be the one dealing with UPS/FedEx/USPS if it's insured in your name...
