Andrew Marlin is a great artist and a national treasure. Love the new material...can't wait for the rest to be released

I didn't see Richard's post as I was writing mine - I was going to offer folks a PDF of the the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association article if they want me to email it....need to pay...

Congrats Wyatt! I've been doing Chris Henry's Monroe workshop with Wyatt and when we all take our turn performing the tune of the week, I just pray that I don't have to immediately follow him! He's...

That was awesome Matthew. Musical comfort food. Well done

Hi Dina - personally I think this 1952 Gibson a-50 is a really nice option https://www.mandolincafe.com/ads/164420#164420

Fiddler's Green is asking $1200 for that one - they might be open to a...

I see the rest of the tracks are now available on Bandcamp - just bought a copy. Sisters of Spring is a great tune...some good mando playing Dennis!

Great tune and really nice playing. Congrats!

So many nice tributes here and on social media...links to great concert footage, cool photos. I re-read this great article in Fretboard about the history of Tony's D-28, his love for the old "Bone"...

good stuff!

That was fantastic!

Thanks all for the nice feedback. That guitar is a 1940 L-00 - records really well. Mic'd the guitar and mando with mid 1970's Neumann KM-84

The 2009 A Heritage and 2015 F Artist. It's an iphone video so the sound quality is what it is. And my playing is what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=marNHgQoHbQ&feature=youtu.be

I will post a comparison video. I'll be interested in your impressions

Thanks Mark. It was a lucky turn of events - I was not in the hunt, but it was offered to me in a trade. It's really a fantastic instrument. I haven't met a Heiden that isn't...

This thing jumped the fence and joined the herd. I believe it's the only A style Heritage to leave his shop 190564190565

Very nice!

I find I can get my Heiden to sound like a Gilchrist by maxing the treble on the tone knob 190380up

And I missed one 190363

Old Growth asked me to post these photos of his '77 Halsey since his computer was not cooperating: 190360190361190362

Shaun, your Heiden sounds great! Nice playing too. What's the tune?

Mary, I played it at Wintergrass. Phenomenal instrument. I hung out with Mr. Heiden and got to play that F5 and the Heritage F5 Kritt bought and both mandolins were amazing...powerful...so touch...

I had a mental lapse and stupidly let that one go....it was an incredible instrument

...and you guys have probably already seen it, but there's a really nicely written article about Michael Heiden's career as a builder in the latest Fretboard Journal...some nice photography too
