Oh yeah. A dealer I talk to yesterday said the market has gone pretty cold. No doubt a reflection of bigger economic trends. I've had a minty Loar-era A2Z for sale for months and gotten only a nibble...

Thanks for this! Sharon is such a good teacher. And I love her playing. So smooth and controlled. A lot like her colleague, John Reischman.
This reminds me of some other show but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Oh yeah! Been waiting for this interview to drop. Huzzah! Now to read it. : )
Hmmm. And all along I though Mike Marshall owned the company! Turns out (now that I bother to look it up) the company was founded by David Butler, a former AOL exec who got interested in music. Good...
Similar response. And, freak coincidence, I also have been playing open back banjo for a couple of months with some help from Adam Hurt. I never got banjo before but clawhammer is very interesting.
Good thoughts. I've been playing scales around the circle of fourths and a series of major and minor arpeggios around the same circle of fourths (G to D) to start every morning -- using single,...
Very nice! Downloading now. Would love to meet you, as a fellow Iowa mandolin enthusiast. Cheers!
Impressive! Love this.
These two are insanely talented and disciplined. Preorder!
Downloaded. Thanks, Martin!
I looked at this yesterday, didn’t comment, came back and looked again. I guess I’m just generally puzzled over the rationale for rebranding. I admire their music and body of recording and video work...
Very cool. Will check out your site.
Lovely man. His autobiography is well worth reading.
Anything Joe does is worth a listen. Ordering and looking forward to.
DUDDUD ... that’s the ticket for jigs. Ditto for gigues. DUDDUDDUD for slip jigs. Play the accent on the downbeat — ONE 2 3 FOUR 5 6 etc. This is dance music. Work in the triplets and ornaments...
I'd always assumed -- 100% guessing, but it seemed "obvious" to me (which doesn't mean it actually is obvious) -- that the paddle heads look more like the headstocks on the guitars, and somebody just...
Super cool. Thank you so much! I’m assuming that’s a floating pickup? Off to read more about this interesting mandolin ...
I would say there aren’t an infinitude of tunes, but apparently there are. Even so, I don’t see the harm in a repeat. To err is human...
OK, ya got me. For about 20 seconds. Good one. : )
Hmm. Interesting actually. Surprised it hasn’t been tried before. I second the five-string idea and raise it a cutout. I definitely would want to try one. It’s not a mandolin but I can see it...
Flynn Cohen has a really interesting Mandolin Monday post today no doubt most have seen. Can somebody knowledgeable please explain what's going on with "microtonal" frets? It's a little like...
What a nice mandolin, Dale! Love the back flame. What frets did you use?
I "went" and really enjoyed it. And -- ha ha! -- I forgot I found out about it in the first place thanks to you, Jim Garber. I thought I saw you on the attendee list, as mentioned elsewhere. Doak!...
