Thanks for letting me know!

I knew him only through his recordings. A real loss. A beautiful musician.

Hey Jim, nice Fletcher! I've just used a banjo capo on every tenor. My question to you: how do the chords sound?

The reason that Fletchers and Regal short scale tenors work is that they use a...

I actually think there might be more Fs around, since with the coming of Eastman and higher end Kentuckys and, at a higher but still somewhat more affordable point, Northfields, they are more...

Sounds great. And you have a great feel for the music.

A side question. Do you know where the case is from? It looks smaller the standard A5 cases.

You sure livened it up, Adrian!

Works of art should be on the wall.

Rebecca is my wife, Sue. She usually travels for work a lot but was home because of covid this summer and got to do a lot of gardening.

Eric, the listing says mahogany although the image looks like maple.

I came across this white-topped Eastman 404. It doesn't look like someone has removed the finish. And it has a pickguard reminiscent of an early Gibson on it. A one-off experiment from Eastman? ...

I tried to buy an old Gibson oval hole without trying first. I had 3 sent to me and had to return them all. they all had issues that were not noticed or mentioned by the owners. Also, when it...

The first model was the MT2. I used to own one just past #100. Then came the F-styles. And the MT and MF models came after that.

Reviving this thread because a Benko archtop guitar has just appeared on Kijiji in Montreal and I thought people might want to see it. Certainly is different. Clearly carved top and back.

Here's...

I think that I would also look for advice about years. I remember reading on the cafe that Gibson changed the neck angle around 1915 or 16 so that the later ones were better. Don't quote me on this...

I don't have any tenors left at the moment, having sold my last. I only play them casually. But I still have my Kala bari. I think it's a very nice alternative. ...

Just for matter of interest, my Pomeroy neck is rounded, not v-shaped at all. Pomeroys are x-braced, however. Mike Black does both.

I just want to add to this thread another Alexander Dennis mandolin that has appeared on Kijiji in Winnipeg. Here's the link:

Nothing better than a handmade gift.

This is a new old time tune, John Grimm's Butterfly Waltz. It's on his new album.

...

You're all right, it is a great tonic for these times.

Last night it was relatively warm here in Toronto and five of us had a jam around a backyard fire. I wore a mask even though we were outside...

Brian, the Pomeroy is swell. Just a beautiful instrument. I've only had it a few months.

Yes, a few minutes distraction can be good for work. Better than being on the 'net. (except for the...

Eric, I built that flat top. It came out quite well and I enjoy playing it. Use it for travel sometimes and when I visit schools for work. I posted it below, though I recarved the neck afterwards...

I'm a writer. But a lot of people are working at home these days, so I wondered.

How did these get into the room where I'm working?

Does this seem to happen to you?190765
