Down/up allows your timing to come out right every time. It's also what John Reischman plays and teaches, and that's good enough for me. Mandolin's not a guitar, and it becomes automatic before...
I've had all kinds of mandolins, mandolas, and octaves, and never found changing strings a problem. It was just a matter of figuring out what was needed for each tailpiece. If I encountered an...
Hand Picked - 25 Years of Bluegrass on Rounder Records. Double album, all the artists. Rounder CD AN 22/23
Blue Ribbon Bluegrass. Another great collection of artists and tunes. Rounder CD AN 11
I automatically assume anything like that is a scam and clicking on the link lets thieves in the door. Straight to Junk and block sender if possible.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
He's one of the pioneers. Check out an online bio on him.
Start with 1984 or '85, whenever Gibson bought out Flatiron. I've had a couple signed by Steve Carlson and would happy with another one anytime. Budget $6,000 +/-
In Canada, it's been my experience that getting a mandolin has more to do with opportunity - encountering an instrument by chance - than with chasing or searching out a particular instrument. As a...
Cancelled because of wildfire. This is a great camp and a great location which has been around for over 20 years. Between covid and now this wildfire, it's a real shame to lose the work and energy...
What's the selling price, in US dollars. What sort of case does it have.
Stelling farmed these out to a number of builders, including Yiri Lebeda in Czechoslovakia. Tristan Scroggins like his by John Hamlet, but the usual wisdom is that the ones by Virginia luthier Ward...
I just checked out their website for the first time in a long time and was knocked out by the amount of guitar inventory. BTW who is Ervin Somogyi and why are his guitars $150,000.
The serial number may not be readily visible, but is it relevant. The FON gives a 1920 manufacturing date and that's usually the information sought. As Spann points out, the FON is assigned at the...
I play an OM too and have left hand problems. Stretching is step one; fingers and forearm. Don't even think about 4 finger chop chords; double stops all way, maybe a 3 finger chord where that works....
I guess it is true that every instrument can be a little different. I have a '92 Carlson A5L that was a lucky find, a bargain, and sounds fantastic. So I added an '88 F5L, all original, and it was...
The ad sounds like a fishing trip. DMMs were in the mid-teens a few years ago, and I expect they would be pulling 20 +/- these days. I saw the ad for the Bill Monroe that rcc56 mentioned and was...
I have bronze ball end mediums from Emando on my Clark. 46/34/24/13. Sounds great and doesn't seem to need a heavy G string. Haven't tried monels on the octave yet but have a set on a D18 and like...
...aka The Battle of New Orleans. Thanks for posting, JB.
Great call on the Mike Dulak. He comes from an interesting and highly regarded line of luthiers from Sand Point, Idaho, and continues that fine work. I first encountered him on a 1981 Franklin OM...
There's a '39 F7 listed in today's Classifieds. "Rare"
Sounds great. What's the "proper documentation" and how do you get it.

I'd give Byron a call at Myhre's Music in Edmonton. He's very helpful and usually has inventory. I'd also touch bases with Sawchyn Music in Regina.
Well, no poems, stories, or novels come immediately to mind, but I can't let a showing of The Red Violin go by without catching a few minutes of some portion of it.
