Thanks lowtone - those videos were exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. I love the sound of mando and fiddle paired. I'm surprised you can't find more of that kind of stuff on YouTube

Here are a couple group shots of our gang in Myrtle Beach, SC. Sometimes Bluegrass, sometimes Old-Time, sometimes Folk, always fun! Looking forward to pickin’ with the gang today.

I was walking by a pawn shop today and I thought I saw a bouzouki in the window. I went inside to check it out and since it had 10 strings, I had no idea what it was.

Turns out it was a Lark in...

I'm down in Myrtle Beach. We've got a small crew getting together ( @longbayfolksociety - www.longbayfolksociety.com ) on Sunday afternoon at Huntington Beach State Park around 2. Might be able to...

Thanks for the input, some great info here to consider.

Thanks for the responses. I reached out to the seller but it had already been sold. MAS cured again by outside forces.

I’ve had a 515 for a few years. It was an upgrade from my first cheap mando. I had every intention of selling it to pay for my Northfield F5S upgrade, but it is just too good of a mandolin to part...

I recently bought a '21 A Jr which sounds and plays exactly like I hoped it would. The flat fret board doesn't bother me. It does take me a song or two to get use to the small frets after switching...

Mando Esq, you and I would get along just fine, but I’d have to rotate between Woodford, Basil Hayden and Blanton’s. Let’s get our 515’s together and pick.

I was at the Alan Bibey camp and Alan paid a great tribute to Herschel and also played a rippin' version of Rebecca.

Does anybody know where I can stream Mandolin in B?

1921 Gibson A Jr Paddle Head for the win!

The ‘24 snakehead arrived first and was in near mint condition for a nearly 100 year old instrument. It had newish...

I guess they call it a Mandolin Acquisition Syndrome because sometimes you might acquire more than one at a time. 1921 A Jr & 1924 A Jr. Do you think my wife would notice that I got two? They look...

I bought a 515 from the classifieds when I started to get serious about my playing. I think it is a ‘13 or ‘14. It sounds and plays great. Shortly after buying it I bought an 815 which I thought...

[QUOTE=adam e;1867287]I recently got a varnish 515 and it's really quite good. It probably actually sounds better than my Northfield Big Mon

I upgraded to a 515 from a The Loar, then immediately...

Hey all! We are still here picking and grinning in the Carolina Lowcountry. If you find yourself in the Myrtle Beach area, look us up. We gather about once a month. Stay healthy and stay in tune!

Been picking away at this one, and so far it sounds like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEBqgTq9f54Backing track by Mark at Bluegrass Backing Tracks. ...

Congrats, that's a beauty. I sure do love mine, but blonde's might have more fun...

I'm not sure about the serial numbers, when I bought my MD515 from the classifieds, I sent an email to Eastman and they dated it for me. I upgraded the mandolin for a Northfield with the intention of...

It's hard finding acoustic old-time/folk/bluegrass/Americana nerds in the Myrtle Beach, SC area, but I've finally put a small group together. If you are in the area and interested in jamming let me...

I'm an hour and half up the road in Myrtle Beach if you land in Charleston. I have a small group that gets together second to last Sunday of the month for a hybrid old time/bluegrass/Americana jam....

When I was shopping in that price point, I got an Eastman 515. Great mando, I love it. Bought it here on the classifieds. I was supposed to sell it to finance my Northfield but it is such a great...

Thanks for sharing. Long live the Days Between!

Still here, woodshedding away. Trying to build a repertoire, some technique and a smile. Comments and inspiration always welcome. Hope everybody is staying healthy and productive.

About a hour a day on the weekdays and probably 2 one hour sessions on the weekend. I'm trying to be more focused on practice and setting goals. Working on about 2 fiddle tunes a month. I should be...
