    Re: Big ol' baby looking for reassurance

    I've heard of Pursell, but never been in to talk to them. I know Clawson well - lived on Elmwood for a period of time many moons ago. Good luck on your journey!

    Brian - Your profile says you're in suburban Detroit - where, specifically? I am in Rochester Hills. As others have said, you're not likely to get much satisfaction from anybody at Guitar Center as...

    Re: New Mandola Day - Northfield Quickstep

    Scale length is 16.5" - slightly longer than traditional, to tighten up the C strings according to Northfield's site. It sounds great to me, but I haven't a wealth of experience by which to compare.

    New Mandola Day - Northfield Quickstep

    I decided I "needed" to go down the Mandola Road, so have been watching for one of these for awhile. This is Northfield Quickstep #4, purchased from Gryphon, and built 100% at the Marshall, Michigan...

    Re: The Entertainer

    David Benedict posted a really nice version along with Mandolin Mondays #15. His arrangement is in D.

    There is also an arrangement here, which includes links to the tab/notation.
  8. Re: Artist/Album Recommendations like Punch Brothers & Sierra Hul

    Don Stiernberg has a whole fleet of outstanding discs available. They lean more towards jazz/swing, but very accessible and exquisitely done. My favorite artist, bar none.

    Re: The Beatles: Yesterday

    There is a link in the video to download the arrangement. They're $6 or $8, but well worth it. I have been making semi-regular contributions to Colin's fund! Which I just did again, as a matter of...

    Re: mandolin tattoos

    This pic was sent to me by a friend who spotted it on a boardwalk somewhere in Florida. I'm not a tattoo fan, but this is pretty nice.

    Re: Tom Waits' Old Shoes

    Ultimate-Guitar.com has guitar chords, strum pattern, and lyrics. It's not arranged specifically for mandolin, but it's only three chords - G, C and D. There are a gazillion sources to find voicings...

    Re: Crossrock Mandolin Cases

    In my case (no pun intended) the foam on the fingerboard is right above the neck support, so while the neck gets squeezed a little, it doesn't get bent. The foam above the strings is pretty well...

    Just listed while cooking dinner. Fantastic stuff, as always. Thanks, Don!
  19. Re: David Grisman’s Gibson F-5 “Fern” Mandolin

    Amen - and watching Grisman always makes me feel a little better about the fact my fingers fly a little higher off the fingerboard than they should. It sure doesn't hamper him any!

    That looks pretty meaty and therefor heavy to me. I would lean towards Cumberland Acoustic or maybe a Brekke bridge? If it's a Weber, possibly it's got a Brekke bridge now. Weight matters. On my own...

    Re: Help identifying my old Gibson a type

    According to Spann's, it shipped 1905.
    First S/N in 1905: 3400
    First S/N in 1906: 5100

    If you can get us the FON stamped on the end block of the neck, we can give you the build date.
