I would be all over this in vinyl!

I have only begun to do a deep dive into this album, which is really amazing. I thought I recognized "Bill's Blues" from somewhere, and dug around the CDs, and turned up Skip Gorman's great "Old...

Great, fun resource. Thank you for putting this out there!

Scott a terrific player who seems a very thoughtful, likeable guy and I need to check out his playing on that great ‘39. Classic. Thanks for sharing all the info!

And my sincere apologies to David Long, Scott, forums members etc. for jumping to an incorrect conclusion. Sending a donation to the Cafe! And if anyone has news on this new album by David and when...

I am delighted to hear this news and actually wondered if this would occur. The deceased stats seemed eerily similar! But wonderful news! Just D/L’d the Hi Def Stomp from Grisman’s site and I started...

It has been awhile but I don’t know if this is generally known. I was just researching to see where he’s been.

Ordered, will post review. I have the Bear sets so just for completist reasons I have to get this.

I'm with Ivan above. An Ellis F5, but I could also easily be seduced by a Kimble F5.

How about an "entry level" Eastman F? Not sure about the exact pricing, but seem to enjoy pretty good reviews for what I believe is a sub-$1000 price range.

We here in the Mandolin Café community can barely contain ourselves when these great "true mando find" stories hit so sorry for the avalanche. We're used to it but for a newbie the sheer quantity of...

Did somebody say show me the one-piece back? 132086

The burst is quite subdued but looks more intense due to the lighting, low autumn sun, etc.

Another front

Here's a pic. Red spruce top, Waverlys, varnish finish, small pickguard.

- hilarious.

I can't stress enough that my feelings about going for the black tongue are strictly a matter of taste and I do not think anyone desiring one should be denied that privilege. To...

And here I thought I was an oddball for not liking that which I now understand to be known as the "black tongue." A form of mutilation, I have privately mused, a sort of instrument tattoo or a...

I will say one thing, and YMMV: I think a Duff is not as loud, per se, as a Gibson. Compton says "you have to dig into it" or to that effect, and that is exactly how the Duff is - it will get plenty...

I have a 2006 Duff, acquired from Tony Williamson at Mandolin Central. I replaced someone's $1500 down payment and I remember I used to send him a check every once in a while, and finally sold a 2001...

<ordering another box of popcorn> this movie is fantastic. And it's real life. I hope we hear back from Grandson.

I would not be afraid of buying used on the Café classifieds, and it is a key way to get the most bang for your buck. The benefit being that if you decide to trade up there is a reasonable chance to...

An easy solution is the Nashville made Gibson Flatiron Festival F from around 1999-2001. $2300 if that.

I'd be good with Youtube versions of the unrecorded, barely recorded or obscure ones from any of our more talented Monroe devotees who are on this thread. This could be compiled and sent around to...

Skip Gorman recorded a few of thesemore obscure numbers.

The real challenge is to identify the recorded versions of a good chunk of these. I bought all the Bear Records to hear most of these but there are a good number here I have no idea how they sound. ...

Thought it might be time to revive this thread since the Second Annual Monroe Mandolin Camp is on again this Fall 2015, at a different location and an extended schedule. I missed it last year due to...

That Stiver looks pretty nice, and you can't fault Lou's reputation and craft as a builder. If it spoke to you, think about buying it.

The comments you made about the strings make me think...
