I don't see it as a bad thing plenty of mandos out there. This year will just have to be a lean mando year.

And to think I sold the custom for the house and the other Holst 2 point to pay for my wife being off when we had our daughter, other than being unemployed then and a stay at home dad now I must be...

I was offered one right after I got the first Holst, so there was no way. Don't regret it though, cause I would be whining about loosing it, instead of whining I lost the Holsts. Maybe someday. Just...

Seattle Craigslist for $600 right now. I don't care for dealing with Craiglist, and this doesn't grab me enough to try.

I'm picky I know..

I did find a Gibson 1929 AO at music 6000 in Olympia today and was not impressed for the $1600 price tag. It could have used a bridge fitting and a higher action though as it fretted out past the 5th...

If I was saving pennies for a Holst I'de be getting a mandocello from him :)

Oh and since you are using one of my vids to give a Holst sound clip wouldn't that allow a discount?:mandosmiley: ...

Now that was uncalled for:)) I've lusted after one of those for a long time.

Ron, I think there is a Jerman 8 in the classifieds for around $650? Or was that Seattle Craigslist....been looking so many places lately:-)

Thanks lowtone2!

P.J - I've been toying with the idea of going electric. I tried once before and did not care for mandolin with single course. That said I could get started on a low budget, but I know how I am. I'll...

Scott -There was a Morris recently in the classifieds, but now I'm getting close to throwing down the cash gone...:-) Collings are nice but like you said most are closer to $1500.
As far as...

The Rigel are definitely on my radar, but lately have only seen them above my price point. I did receive an answer to my ad for a Rigel A natural but the reply I sent bounced back.

I'm starting to hunt for a replacement for my Holst that I had to sell. I play mostly chord melody style, but do dabble in bluegrass. My main requirements other than a great sound are the price point...

You can look us other chords as well.

My experience is not much room at a store to wiggle the price if at all. You might have better luck with an individual. In regards to the Gallatins, they haven't been there long and they haven't been...

There are 2 at Elderly for $1200, so not far off. If it's the one in the classifieds it say barely played. I loved my Gallatin F, though it had mahogany back and sides. Clips of those sound good. For...

I'm sure others will offer more than I. You may be able to find someone to teach you at one of the jams. Good luck!

If you are looking for lessons I'd look into lessons with Pete Martin...

Do a YouTube search for Altman mandolins. There is a video about a year old with Mike playing an Altman Loar. Mike makes is sound amazing!

No problem Ken! Thanks again for recording this. If I could have gone for one reason that session would be it!

Thanks to Ken for taping it!!
