Great tune so I'll raise you this one with twin mandolin harmony:

Jesse was so far ahead and afield of his contemporaries, it seems, despite his obvious connection to the 'roots'. The album of Grateful Dead covers, for example. For anyone not already in the know,...

What a wonderful world we live in where two people can share this moment with each other, record it, and then share it with us. Such a cool thing to witness and get to be privy to. Thank you, Mr....

Happy to hear about this buying experience, Daryl - enjoy it and keep havin' fun!!

I had a thread on this also: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/122051-your-mandolin-ownership-history

but I'll add mine here, too because it's fun to reflect over the past (wow) 30 years:...

Hey daryl,

I own a recent duff A5 and chose it over a lengthy trial period during which I played a few of your mandos! I have played the k&k A5 at carters and it is nearly identical to mine. The...

Thanks, again, everyone. Just to keep the thread going, I have focused on owning-to-try-out an octave or 'dola next, then hope for a 'cello at some point. I guess I should have known this would be...

Great day, Jim thassalottamandolins.

Glad to see this thread still going.

I'll add a 2015 Duff A5, a Mandobird electric (gold sparkle), and a SECOND McGhee F5 to my list. I sold the first...

Thanks, everyone for your kind words!

We used The Amazing Slow Downer (Willie, paid app) and Audacity (me, free) to slow the tune down and pick out the parts. Not easy with 3 mandos, but Willie...

Just wanted to share this project I was fortunate to be a part of. My best buddy, Brian 'Willie' Williams figured the three mandolin parts to Ricochet, one of the tunes I've dreamed of playing since...

Thank you, again everyone. I got everything stripped, tinned, and resoldered. Sealed the rubber covers in with some glue. Put everything back on the mando and it works as good as new.

I'll add that the neck shape, for me, can greatly affect thumb pain. In my case, I played a newer Weber mandolin with a very CEE shaped neck. I called it a 'baseball bat'. Prior to this most of my...

How cool is that! I love this site. Thank you, Mr. Stiernberg, OP, and Scott T (and everyone) for cooperating to make this wonderful world of mandolins and mandolin enthusiasts.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I like Thile but understand why people don't. My reaction to him, having been around since before he was around, is the near single-handed movement of the solo...

I hear you!! Tony Rice is a good example, going back to bluegrass and maybe more attention and album sales form something that was amazing but probably not as available to the average listener.

thanks for the link, cat. Interesting read. Though I wasn't trying to come across as whining that i'm not good enough, I do suffer from that syndrome. I do love the music and will continue to...

Carters had that Duff when I was there a few months ago but it wasn't on their website. I fell in love with it and was lucky enough to procure it's sister on the used market. Both are birdseye back...

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't understand most of it but it sounds like getting this mic 'just because he has one' is probably not my choice. From what I can understand, it sounds like he may...

Yeah, I'm my own worst critic and have avoided this video stuff for a long time. But I'm seeing the value of watching myself play and learning from my mistakes. Here's my band playing "My favorite...

Not sure if this will be additive or jacking but reading this got me thinking and I want to try to complete an idea.

I think the labels have been bastardized by the industry and is probably pretty...

having just gone through the process of making a significant upgrade I can attest that you can get a lot more mandolin if you buy an equivalent A vs. an F. I did a lot of side by side comparisons...

Haha. No sweat, I'm kind of a freak when it comes to analyzing this so, yeah, I don't represent the world of mandolin players. It's a crazy fun journey to learn what you want to learn. For me it...

Station Inn. Call Carter Vintage and ask them.

Thanks for the referral, Mike:) I loved, loved, loved the Newson at Carter's. Think it is a new one. Great everything. Tone, fit and finish, playability, and sidebound. I was just not willing to...

Thanks to Rick and to all who have helped me find my next mandolin. I got this lightly used 2015 Duff A5 this weekend (sellers pictures). 147246147247
