    Re: Adam Steffey steps away from the business

    Yeah, I saw it on Bluegrass Today also. Bummer for me. Hard to believe. Especially changing careers all together (BTW, I did the same thing). What a certified monster talent he is. My favorite...

    Re: Question for Grassers

    The bluegrass band I'm in (Fine Line Bluegrass) does the song. Our female mandolin player does a great job of singing it.

    Re: Chinese made Northfield

    It's my understanding they're not Chinese made, but Chinese assembled. Reviews and comments on The Cafe are highly positive regarding Northfield mandolins.
  8. Re: Column: What Happens When Boundaries Bend?

    Exactly what Willie said. It kind of irritates me when music that has no connection to bluegrass (BG) is referred to as such. As a BG musician I'm grateful we have a full-time "BG" station such as...

    Re: Easy string changing

    Saw a video of Kenny Smith changing guitar strings the same way. I'll have to try it.
  10. Re: Thinking about a custom built Hinde mandolin...

    Wow! Ran the videos through a good sound system. The Hinde (MF 32) sounds fabulous. I want one.
  11. Re: Column: Writing About Bluegrass, Warts and All

    I saw the video of Jimmy going off on Ricky Skaggs, calling him "a a**hole" to his face. Ricky loved Jimmy and his music. Ricky just stood there and took it, very politely. As I watched it I really...

    Wow!! A hundred seventy BPM? I'm a pretty decent guitar flat picker and I...

    Re: Jerusalem Ridge in E Minor?

    I like A minor...as long as everyone else in the band is playing it in A minor.
  14. Re: Thinking about a custom built Hinde mandolin...

    Keep us informed how things are going. I might be the next in line. I'll be seeing Steve at some festivals this summer and fall. I already have a finish in mind. Now I need a sound in my head...
  15. Re: Thinking about a custom built Hinde mandolin...

    Anytime you make custom instruments or even purchase one from a store there's going to be someone that thinks it's a little bright, not bright enough, too bass-ey, not enough bass, too much midrange,...

    Re: Bluegrass/Gospel Quartet Arrangements

    I'm not aware of a book on such. But a lot of Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver CDs have what you're looking for. Also the CD with Doyle, J.D. Crowe, and Paul Williams.
  17. Re: Thinking about a custom built Hinde mandolin...

    Wow, I didn't know about the wait. I was thinking maybe 4-6 months. Evidently they're really starting to be in demand. Hmm, I'd better be thinking about getting my order in.

    I meant to mention the...
  18. Re: What genres of music do you play on mando (besides bluegrass)

    You mean there are genres for mandolin other than bluegrass? :grin:
  19. Re: Thinking about a custom built Hinde mandolin...

    Drew, yeah I've been hearing lots of positive reports on Hinde instruments. The three mandolins I played sounded absolutely superb. I've also played two of his guitars and they were wonderful. I've...
  20. Thinking about a custom built Hinde mandolin...

    ...I've read nothing but great things about them. He's made them (and guitars) for quite a few big names including Rick Faris and Nick Dumas of Special Consensus, Junior Sisk, and Wayne Benson, just...
  21. Re: Curious about the Bluegrass mandolin market segment

    I really didn't realize that BG was actually a minority genre of mandolin players. I remember being surprised by that. Still am. I knew there were many other mandolin styles. I just wasn't aware the...

    Re: Gibson F9 vs Collings MF - 2017 edition

    What cuyuga red said. I'll tell you a little secret if you promise not to tell anyone. Promise? OK. I traded a Red Diamond (RD) 1922 David Grisman "Crusher" model to get the F5G. Shhhh!

    OK, OK,...

    Re: Gibson F9 vs Collings MF - 2017 edition

    FWIW, I played several mandolins. Collings, Daley, Weber, Elk Horn, Northfield, and Gibson. I was planning on getting a high end Collings. After playing them all I chose a Harvey F5G and I love it. I...
