If you can find an older Kentucky (2008 to 2013 or so KM900, 1000, 1500), you will have a good chance of it sounding great. You hardly ever see those come up for sale.

I think if you order one from the man who invented it, he will engrave it for you. http://www.axinc.net/James_Mandolin_Tailpiece_p/jtt.htm
I prefer slim shallow necks that have a V to them. Too much meat in the shoulders of D, U, or rounded V neck gets in the way for me and makes it feel like I'm fighting the neck to get around. A V...
That bass fills the room.

He's a national treasure. Happy birthday!
The latest blue celcon picks I received are the size of the BC TAD picks. The BC CT55 is a hair larger than the blue celcon. I don't have any BC TP picks.
Just a reminder that I needed to polish...
Here's my .02. Play a tune you know with your left hand not pressing hard enough to get clear notes. You'll soon find out how little pressure it takes to get a clean note as you'll find some notes...
I went to a talk W. Eugene Smith gave in Louisville KY on his documentary photo work of the effects of industrial pollution in Japan just before he died. I had no idea of his connection to the jazz...
I've used the BlueChip CT55 for many years. Lately, it just seems like too much pick to push through the strings. I started experimenting with a bunch of thinner picks closer to 1mm in thickness.

Really fine composing and playing on these tunes, Tim. I really enjoyed the mandocello playing. Very cool album!
Man oh man. What a beautiful quartet! I hope you have some friends who can play those with you, or you can do some multitracking with you playing them. I'd love to hear them playing together.
Shaun's Heiden is the only mandolin I'd trade my Heiden for.
Reischman's Loar & Compton's Gilchrist F5 stick out in my mind as the best 2 mandolins I've played. My Heiden A5 is the best mandolin I've owned.
The shop foreman was on top of it this day. A 2003 F5G headstock.

If you don't know the obvious places: The Bluebird for songwriters, The Station Inn--legendary live music venue, Carter Vintage and Gruhn for musical instruments. Dee's Lounge also has live music....
I'd save a lot of $ and buy a Hogan F5 and get an accurate copy of a Loar F5. If I did buy one, I'd dig the name out of the headstock with a pocket knife just for their constant lawsuit threat...
I did not know Elizabeth Taylor played mandola.
Happy birthday, Mike. The secret of your youth has been revealed. ;) See you at Monroe Camp.
So sad to hear this. Condolences to the Statman family and friends.
The mandolin is gone so no reason for it to be public.
Here's what I do when I make a video to sell a mando: open strings, open chords, a slow doublestop harmonized scale on each pair of strings, a tune that uses all the strings--not played too fast, a...
