It must be hard to be as cool as Mike Compton
I recently played an old Gibson mandocello converted to octave mandolin. I did not get to hear it when it was strung as a cello, but it was quite fun to play and sounded really good. IMO the old...
Oh ya for sure, Chris was definitely having fun. So was Billy it seemed. I think you nailed it with Chris pushing Billy, they are both amazing musicians and there were a couple moments I remember...
could it be the angle of the photo and the lighting are making it look worse than it could be? just a thought
Think they still have one at The Pickin' Parlor in Arvada, Colorado. Give em a ring ask em about the serial?
Interesting ! My music teacher had a gibson a-3 with some wide grain, and he always remarked how the wider grain produced a more open sound. It really is a great sounding mandolin, but i’m not so...
I would really like to hear that thing!
How does it sound?? We must know!!
What kind of octave mandolin is he playing? It looks really nice!
Edit:
I read the article and learned it is a mandocello. Made by Fletcher Brock. Great write up, great band!
Tone-nails!

Really enjoying this mandolin. It still has old strings on it, might put the new ones I bought recently on it this weekend to see what that sounds like. These old...

got a new mandolin! Jim Hilburn #27. This thing rules!
Played a little celtic piece on it, just for fun. Will improve recording and sound in the future. Expect to...

Longer scale length generally translates to access to heavier gauge strings, which can produce a fuller sound. It also can have more resonance.
Longer scale length also makes melody/lead playing...
I've played that one. It really is a sweet instrument, and it sounded (to my ear) better than the high priced new mandos that were in stock at the time!!
I brought my f-2 in to compare to some...
Would you recommend this on a face of a 1914 Gibson f2?
Nice, I just called and the tech guy- Caleb - got my address and is shipping some out today! We shall see how it works :)
Hey y'all,
I have found some discussion of this topic on here before, but I wanted to ask it myself.
Do you have any recommendations for installing an LRBaggs Radius that has no putty onto my...
Heiss looks pretty interesting. I am thinking about looking into a bluegrass mando for myself and living in Denver he looks like a good option. I love my Gibson f-2 but some f-holes would be nice....

Really amazing stuff. Is that an h-4 or an f-4 he's playing?
I agree with all that has been said. The right hand tremolo in the beginning by Chris is really on point!
Funny thing is I just purchased a CT 55 compared to my CT 40 - On my Gibson f-2 1914 it really brings out volume and feels much better.
On my OM though, I am finding I prefer the CT 40. I like the...
Hey everyone,
I recently met a luthier who restored this harp guitar. After some chatting we decided it could be fun to make some music together, and try to get some sort of period correct piece...
