I believe Mike Marshall has stated he has two, one in Germany and one in California
Awesome that you got to go in person Sue! I caught the live stream from 2/6 on the Berklee Vimeo and last I heard it was still available here https://vimeo.com/910061358
Brooke is a wonderful singer and I know she plays some rhythm guitar, but there are several videos of her chopping mandolin like that from other settings. I know Darin can play mandolin but I am...
I knew that comment was coming as soon as I saw the title...:))
I would put it under the genre of dang good acoustic music that will not get nearly the amount of attention it deserves. But, that may be a bit too long for their character limit. I'd guess serious...
To pile on, Strings and Beyond has let me know that the 11.5-41 heavy gauge Nickel Bronze is now also discontinued. I bought their last 2 sets.
I have a few sets of each to get me by until I can...
I think my last post or two made it clear, but I will say again for the record in case it didn't, that I found in my case the Waverly tuners were fine when not installed.
It looks like the screw...
Matt plays banjo on Joe's latest record, very well I think! Tasteful certainly.
Two of my favorite players and teachers!
I did notice that the screw holes on the original set I have are slightly off from the center of the round engravings design.
On the new set, they are centered. That makes the mandolin's screw holes...
Thanks John.
I put the old set back on and the screw holes line up much better with those than the new set. I think I may just stick with those since I seem to have proven at this point it isn't the...
Update: I received the replacement Waverly tuners today.
Took off the old ones and they turn great....uh oh.
Installed the new ones and they are as bad or worse than the ones I took off.
I can...
I run an Aircare 1045 "whole house" humidifier. Here in NC it can keep the house at 40-50% humidity, usually running on level 1 of 4. I refill it at twice a day when the heat is running a good bit....
WOW. Pretty outlandish (and anonymous) statement for your first post.
Very nice! That record specifically was a huge influence on me in my earliest days of playing mandolin. Well done.
What a wild ride reading this thread was. Everything from Bill's reputation on and off stage, to AI, to is Wagon Wheel Bluegrass, to Earl Scruggs' banjo technique. :disbelief:
Revisiting this conversation, I had also begun noticing that the same E tuner that was the tightest would have a very loose slop of about a 1/8 of a turn when you backed it off from pitch. The button...
The last two mandolins I sold were through Kevin at Mando Mutt. Being a little over 2 hours down the road, he met me about halfway to pick them up. We picked a starting price and communicated if we...
I've never heard of a "Gilchirst" either
I don't need a Red Diamond right now
I don't need a Red Diamond right now
I really don't need a Red Diamond right now
Thanks for sharing some behind the scenes moments for those of us a bit too far away to visit! Definitely agree that chatting with Adrian is a wonderfully enlightening experience. I was lucky to have...
Just also keep in mind with the Northfields that you can have a choice between Engelmann spruce and red spruce tops. That can make a noticeable difference in the sound. Both great, so it's really...
I have a AT Pro-35 that I just used live for the first time last week. It seemed to work well.
I do feel like I need some sort of pedal that I could "boost" volume for solos versus rhythm playing,...
I'm also digging more into Sam lately. Been a fan forever and learned things here and there, but trying to turn up the microscope a bit lately. Another point to add is that he is an amazing fiddle...
I have a set on one of my Northfields. The E string tuners have been tighter than the others since day 1. Not enough to really be a problem. They came standard on this model and it isn't bad enough...
