Very fitting comment, indeed.

I got the Sam Bush Monel strings from Amazon.com.

Good to see you back CW.... I can give you a two thumbs up on Curt Mangan string quality. I use both his guitar and mandolin strings in PB and am a very satisfied customer. Let us know what you think...
One of the most famous songs of all time, written by Harold Arlen and sung by Judy Garland in the film "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), in my arrangement for classical guitar. http://www.chitarrarte.it

Just striving for consistency; I don't refer to even a Lloyd Loar-signed Gibson F-5 as a "The Gibson mandolin." It's a Gibson, and a Loar mandolin (not Lloyd Loar) is a Loar. As far as I'm...
Here's the advice I give all my students. Go to a music store, buy about 10 different shapes, thicknesses and colors. Get a few standard teardrop Fenders in thin (ick), medium, heavy and extra heavy....
If I could impose a ban on one word in discussing musical instruments, it would be 'BEST'. It is just patently ridiculous to say something like, 'the best mandolin…'. No one talks about the best...
A friend put me onto Lino Muoio's YouTube clips from his mandolin blues album. Some very cool stuff there.
This is his website.
This is his YouTube account page.
And here is a nice live...
The 'best' is only the opinion of any person appraising the tone of any instrument. Your 'best' could very well be my 'worst'.
I've long ceased thinking in terms of 'best,better etc.' & prefer the...
One of the most famous pieces of the history of light music, arranged by Joe Garland based on a pre-existing melody not covered by copyright and was later made famous by the "historic" version of...
The important part, as far as I am concerned, is the playing. Determining the perfect mandolin, getting it at the perfect price, wondering afterwards if you got a good deal, wondering if it will keep...
Caleb's style 100% fits the music that he plays. I'd die happy if I could play with 1/10 of his power, precision, and passion!
Klauder is a fantastic musician with strong roots in Old Time and early/pre bluegrass. When it comes to mandolin, I don't think he's looking for the smoothest sound. It is a 'style thing' and he...
It's certainly a lot more of a percussive tremolo than the smooth gliding tremolo that is usually done. But with that said, I could see it really being powerful in a faster, more dynamic and driving...
You mean like this?

Seeing Marty on the mandolin has become something of a rarity, which makes this even more of a treat.

I've had dreams of going to garage sales and finding a jar of guitar picks like this--for almost nothing...
Bluegrass in Korea played by our Japanese brothers... How cool is this?

The "mythical" soundtrack of the film " Watch Out, We're Mad" (with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer), composed by De Angelis Brothers, in my arrangement for classical guitar. http://www.chitarrarte.it...
If Monroe had the quintessential mandolin tone and licks, Don Rich was the main man when it came to the Telecaster...

Why should I trust your ears, when I have a perfectly good pair of my own that tell me the opposite from what yours tell you? And how can it be that we both have different experiences? Could it be...
Renato Carosone seems to have been one of the best known Italian entertainers in the 50ies and 60ies. In the video to his song "Tu vuņ fa' l'Americano" appears a very talented mandolin player. Maybe...
