These workshops are being recorded for access later, up to 3 months (maybe more, I’m not sure).

The use Whova for scheduling. As an app or through your online browser it’s all fairly easy to decipher. There are dozens of workshops given at once so that might be what is confusing you. Contact...

Now if I told you, ......lol

Nice. You rarely see those for sale in a store. They are mostly special orders.

I watch Will Seeder’s website regularly and found this a few months back:...

I believe it was a first banjo he was searching for.

As good as it looks. It sounds twice as amazing.

Jay plays that f4 a lot on their weekly shows on Facebook.

I took a mandolin workshop with Jay at Ashoken Southern week. He’s a great player and a great teacher. He also plays old time banjo.

Notice Joe has switched to a Brock GBOM for the Sam Brown Hill tune.

The man to learn counter melody and harmony lines from is Dave Surette. He is the master at this. His Green Mandolin and Northern Roots CD have a lot of octave and bouzouki on them.

I own several of each. There are tonal differences, especially in the all torrified. You get a little more volume and the top end and mid range tone is sweeter. Same model mandolin, same woods,...

They won’t last long at those prices.

Louise, you could see the signs coming. Collings has fully booked through parts of 2022 (yes, 2022). They've put new Waterloo orders and case production on hold. Northfield is shipping out...

That one has been making the rounds. It's changed hands at least three times- sold twice from TME.

I'm going to make a prediction, pretty soon (within 6 to 8 months) the used ones will be as much as the new ones. I've been buying and selling for over 25 years. I have never seen a market like...

If you search through the Cafe archives you will find lots of opinions on these, and even a similar thread with individual observations.

It will be sold by then. Things are selling at a pretty fast pace. There is tint on there also. Collings no longer does blonde or natural. It’s considered amber.

The torrification darkens the color. TME has a used sunburst with waverlies, Birdseye, and a pick guard. Not on the website yet. Great mandolin, from the Namm show a few years back. These are hard...

That was a while back. It reappeared after that and was resold.

Folkways Music in Waterloo Canada carries his banjos. They are fairly inexpensive, like a Pisgah. You might contact Mark at Folkway and get his take on them. The problem with instruments that are...

Buy what you can find.

Therein lies the problem.

A few weeks back a Cafe member sold one for $1200.

People keep saying that, but there are easily at least three on-line banjo workshops and any given number so on-line festivals, boot camps, etc. on any given weekend. The mandolin activities...
