For that kind of money, I’d try to find a Halsey and a bottle of nice red wine, go visit him, make dinner enjoy the wine and have him do the “personal set up” for me!
Sadly at this point, my playing...
That was quite refreshing, the gentle tapping was so much fun to watch.
You know, I live for this kind of truly obscure information!!
The thing is, you can do anything you want, it’s your instrument. Is it a good idea? Not in my opinion.
You can kiss a live electrical wire but, it’s not a good idea either.
I wasn’t going to be able to be there but, thanks for letting folks know! Sorry about the leg, I wish you a speedy recovery!
I was thinking about “Don’t hit grandma with a great big stick”. I must have been blinded by tears.
15 posts and NO ONE has mentioned Dooley?
I’m ashamed!
A true “Boutique” guy is my friend of many years, Bill Halsey who has sadly ceased, his mandolin building. I’ve “Thirsted” for one since I saw his first one, well before the F-5L project began. Then...
Well, dip something…
Well, at least they are not saying that it’s an F-2. “Interesting” is a good heading.
Never met the man but, heard plenty of fabulous stories about him.

I was going to say…
Flowers, candy, dinner…maybe a movie?
I know, go to the corner!
“Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear…”
I like beer.
Yep, Franks pretty amazing at ANY age!
Frank’s looking his age more than he used to, his right hand is looking pretty “arthritic” I’m sorry to say. Many hours I’ve listened to his “unique” style. His early powerhouse sound with Red Allen...
It’s “Lume” for men, nothing remarkable,
I met Frank a couple of times, about 1977 when his Loar was in its “Red” period and a second about ‘99 (?)when he played my Alvarez in “Get Up John” tuning at a saloon here in Kalamazoo. I bid him a...
The effect of modifications which are not “reversible” is only an issue when the instrument is sold. If the modification gives you a playing advantage or just feels better, then do it, it’s yours!...
I was privileged enough to get a copy just before leaving for vacation. Didn’t get a chance to read it at the lake but, I dove in after we got home. As I said in an earlier post, Mr. Siminoff has...
I wish I’d never sold mine!209338
This was 1975!
Sold the mandolin and then the hair just…left!
