    Re: Joe Val Festival - Framingham MA Feb 16-18

    At the price point of $65, I am not expecting an extensive seminar/workshop schedule. If that's your main interest, Mandolin Camp North and Fiddle Hell are likely to be of more interest.

    Re: nice looking Gibson F-4 1917

  8. Re: Heiden's....the most expensive modern mandolin builder?

    I've had the good fortunate of spending considerable time with a number of Gils, one Monteleone, and a few Heidens. Without a doubt, Heidens are in the same tier.

    Re: Looking for some help sifting through reverb

    Congrats on the mando! I played that one during my last visit to TME and I was really impressed by it. I waffled a lot about trading in my mando to get it! Glad it went to a Café member :)

    As others have commented, it seems likely the listing refers to the 1937 Gibson F5. That is a very...
