Hi friends - I am hoping to gain some wisdom from my mandolin picking brethren.

So I have a Weber Yellowstone Chad Fadely mandolin - the one pictured in my avatar. It fell and the soundboard...

I love the Bailey strap also. I think it is the best out there. But let me warn you all...don't be overly confident in the end pin locking mechanism. I was and last week my Weber Yellowstone (as...

I gotta say...that's not a very attractive looking monkey. The beach looks nice though!

Pow!!

I listened to "Ground, Centered, Focused" by Butch Robins while on a recent road and it was outstanding. There is some great mandolin work on it by both Bill Monroe and Mike Compton. There is also...

This is really cool - thanks for sharing. This something that I have been doing intuitively and keeping track of on my blog - but I can see how even this is inefficient in the long run. For example...

Chris...those look freaking awesome...congrats and keep it up!

I don't think I would be able to rank any players...all of the guys you listed are so different in styles...each a master in their own right....each are my favorite in their own sound.

Guys...if you get on the bluegrass hub you can peruse through the entire archive of live monroe bootlegs...all in high fidelity lossless format. Not to mention there is a world of other bluegrass...

Don't know if you all saw this.

Here is the link to the story on my blog.

I have been wanting a Mann two point for a while now...I can't wait to hear some sound clips and read your thoughts.
