If you enjoy old-time mandolin playing, I highly recommend following Daniel on instagram. He posts a lot of great videos of himself playing old-time standards solo....

Northfield has instructions on how to best use the Boveda Humipaks for their [oval hole] octaves: https://www.northfieldinstruments.com/store/boveda-humidity-control. I imagine the recommendation...
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.
Assuming the mandolin was in excellent condition and all/most parts original, that price tracks with other teen Gibson F4s that have sold through premium retailers over the last year.
If buying...
Not a duet, but I'd still recommend checking out George Jackson's album "Time and Place", which is an old time album of original compositions with Andrew Marlin on mandolin, often times doubling the...
Many people (including many professional mandolinists) swear by a tone guard.
I think this is still largely an open research problem.
I do remember coming across a product that was developed by a person who did their PhD on the topic. It was actually pretty good, but I...
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.
Tone is a subjective matter, but...
Title says it all :-)

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 :)
Disagree with what? My explanation as to why I believe the classified listing is written as such?
As others have commented, it seems likely the listing refers to the 1937 Gibson F5. That is a very...
I think the presumption is that if you have to ask what the ad is about, then the ad is not meant for you.
In old time circles, I've always heard it in G, similarly to how Bruce Molsky plays it: https://www.pegheadnation.com/featured-videos/studio/bruce-molsky-red-rocking-chair/
Outside of old time,...
Thanks! But I think that's the Gilchrist he's since sold to Joe K Walsh being the video is from 2018.
I have an Engelmann Big Mon. It has the woof and poof that glassweb describes. Here’s how I’d describe it’s tone:
- that “woof” makes for a really beautiful sounding double stops; double stops on...
* David Grisman Quintet (maybe not "modern" anymore, but his sound is still pretty modern to my ear).
* John Reischman's solo albums. (I'm not a fan of vocal bluegrass songs, so I don't enjoy his...
As someone who pursues the Mandolin Classifieds primarily from the front page, I’m glad to see this change as it will allow new Mandolin ads to be on the front page for a longer duration of time. The...
That James Bryan recording is wonderful. I believe he was also the one who wrote the C part of the tune - the A and B parts being the original tune.
I attended Fiddle Hell this past weekend (it was awesome! Thanks Dave Reiner :-)).
I picked up a couple of new tunes from various workshops:
Jake Blount taught Roscoe's Gone, a newer tune (by...
The title says it all :-).

I can’t ready notation (well), so take the following with a grain of salt.
As someone who has contemplated learning notation, if all music was written this way (without need to modulate how one...
I think that's this mandolin?

Old time, Appalachian mandolin music can be hard to find, and mandolin/banjo duo performances even harder!
However, I feel the mandolin thrives in this setting. The two instruments complement each...
A very naive question: are there mandolin orchestras that don’t play classical music?
I, too, am not an active classical music listener (mandolin or not), but I am very intrigued by the idea of a...
I really enjoyed the Gibson mandolin history presentation. I wish it was another hour and half longer :D.
The Acoustic Shoppe's Youtube channel is really fun. They also put on ~20 minute...
