    Mike Compton and Ronnie McCoury both wielding Gilchrists are high on my list

    Re: Family Portrait

    Looks like a bunch of AL Smart instruments. At least going by the headstock logo

    Re: Ruhland Eye Candy

    Looks like there’s an A model in this batch. I thought Matt alternated between his F’s and A’s from batch to batch. Either way looks great! Couldn’t be happier with mine.

    Re: A Ruhland A5 for sale on Matt's website

    Thanks Evan! #68 is phenomenal, and only getting better since it’s only about 4 months old. I asked Matt for a Sullivan inspired headstock with just the subtle flowerpot inlay and he went above and...

    Re: A Ruhland A5 for sale on Matt's website

    Looks like it’s already sold pending approval. That’s the one before mine from the recent batch of A’s he completed this summer. Really cool he used the same top wood that’s on Ella, which if unless...
  6. Re: New Bela Fleck Album out - My Bluegrass Heart

    Here’s a cool interview with Sierra where she talks about the difference between playing with Bela vs the recordings she did with Sturgill Simpson. It’s a small relief to know that even she has to...
  7. Re: New Artistworks Bluegrass Mandolin with Sierra Hull!

    By not playing chop chords, I was referring specifically to the four finger basic BG major chop chord. I think I remember hearing that as a youngster, she couldn't make the reach with her left hand...
  8. Re: New Artistworks Bluegrass Mandolin with Sierra Hull!

    I’d love to see her go into her rhythm playing in great detail. It’s so unique, and rarely uses those ol chop chords.

  10. Re: Case and Tone Gard Combo for Pava (A Style)

    It’s a snug fit, but I got no issues leaving the Tone Guard on when I put the Pava back in the superior case it came with. Armrest too

    Re: New Ruhland F5's?

    I also asked for one on the darker side. Mine’s gonna be made from wood from his Sullivan stash, both the Sitka and Maple. Did you have specific bracing to try and get that darker sound? Also the...

    Re: New Ruhland F5's?

    I’m also curious about this. The pictures on his website of this newest batch were out of this world! I got an A coming up in the next one and can’t wait. Matt’s instruments somehow look like they...

    Re: Oval Hole Heaven at Greg Boyd’s

    It’s one of those instruments that hasn’t made the site yet, but it’s there. Perks of living close to a great shop I guess. They have this gorgeous Collings “Blue Spruce” topped 00 that I got to see...

    Re: Oval Hole Heaven at Greg Boyd’s

    NFI there is a beautiful Pomeroy F-4 at AMW here in Pittsburgh. It’s definitely a different animal than the old Gibson oval holes I’m used to playing. Those Austin luthiers really seem to know their...

    On the newest Doc and Dawg live album from Acoustic Disc, Grisman has a little banter section before the song My Long Journey Home called “two dollar remarks” Where he mentioned he wanted to call the...

    Re: Question on Manzanita album

    1000% sounds like Dawg to me on BB. Where it’s clearly Sam on the title cut, Old Train, Ginseng Sullivan, and Blue Railroad Train. After a show once I was asking Sam about the song Manzanita, and he...

    Happy Birthday Dennis! from me and my lovely Pava you graciously helped me obtain. Best wishes, for one of the best guys!

    “Revival” the Sam Bush story is a good one. Lots of fellow mandolin players interviewed. From Thile, Hull, to late Jeff Austin.

    I saw on Sierra’s Instagram that she was recently at Sam’s home. Looks like they were playing catch and hopefully recording something. She did hint at a project in the works. I agree the two have a...

    Re: New Stiver Today!

    Bill, the new Stiver looks great and probably sounds even better! I love the sideways logo on his A style headstock, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do that. Did you go with a Red Spruce top? Or...

    Re: New Stiver Today!

    That’s fantastic Bill! Glad your wait is finally over. Lou’s A models all seem to be great, with a little darker sound than his F’s. I’d go as far to say I’ve never heard even a mediocre one. Then...

    Re: String recommendations for Collings MF

    I had a great MF for about eight years. Though it was a custom Englemann topped one. After trying many different strings and gauges I landed on the GHS 270’s being the best fit. I really liked the 16...
