Yeah, I recall being told the Johnson City reference in particular was out of whack, involved going in the opposit direction or something. I had been under the impression all these mentions had...
Thanks for the input, all. Now I'm thinking I may just need to sell one of my guitars to finance a Northfield F5

They were not around in the 20's So, I'd avoid one claimed to be a '23 Collings :))
Hey folks,
I've been enjoying playing along with this tune. Thought I'd share a quick tutorial. Hope it helps.

First mandolin. F5. I'm working on posting pictures but wanted to first explain the situation. I am a pure novice, using the Simminoff book as a first reference but also taking queues from this...
Northfield builds its own mandolins. Eastman has its own people and factories. What people fail to realize is that Eastman has been building violin family instruments for decades. Their top of the...

At this point my picks might be worth more than the value of my car.
I got a really cool compliment yesterday!

So, I'm the pastor of a small yet awesome church in Illinois. We had our church Christmas program yesterday. I played along with the...
I stopped just this morning when I had to go outside and get some work done. I'll probably get back to it sometime this evening.

I totally get the idea of buying used, and it's logical from the standpoint of price/value. But unless it's a vintage instrument that I'm buying specifically because it's old, I want a new...
Henry you're absolutely right. I played a '24 Gibson A-4 snakehead on "What Child is This?" (same one I used on Tone Poems). I also used a great sounding Kentucky KM-1500 on the Respighi piece and...
Uncle Sam refunded money you had overpaid him, nothing particularly kind about that!
I can't answer the Loar half of your question, but I play an Eastman 515, and works pretty well for me. I agree that it's bright, a little more so than I would like, but it would sound good for the...
here are some flashcards you can work with
I started using iPad for my gigging sheet music and it has really changed my life. I was doing the same thing as my band mates, keeping music in big heavy binders and using page protectors too, which...
enjoy Amber Collins and No Speed Limit on "Rain and Snow"
