I have also tried this. Sounds pretty good!
Update! I took the mandolin to Wes Lambe over in Chapel hill. His guy Ben cleaned it up and did a full set up. He did find two small cracks in the top which he repaired with hide glue. This thing...
Thanks for all the info! I'll get that pick guard off ASAP! Now that I've seen it in person, it really is in great shape.
Hello,
A friend of mine sent me a picture of an older Gibson today and I thought I'd start a post to dig for more info about it. I'm making arrangements to pick it up tomorrow so I can take a...
I just thought this was particularly interesting and wanted to share. No financial interest. I've just not seen one of these for sale before and would love to hear thoughts.
I've included the link...
Although I don't live in Knoxville I do a lot of work here and have recently had a setup and the Mandovoodoo process done to my Eastman by Steve Perry. Steve is a great guy and really spends quality...
Hahahah! Bones in the window, for the win!
That was great!!! I never realized you could watch a live video feed of that show!
I'm guessing the video replay will be available soon. Chris, the Punch Brothers and Sarah Jarosz were all amazing!...
Yesterday afternoon I was scrolling though Facebook for a few minutes and saw a post from The Punch Brothers that said
"Hi folks, we're about to get this listening party and Q&A started! So prep...
Haha! No, I yelled "A Delicious Bass" as in the fish, several times but was masked by both the pizza guy and one of the others. I have a strange feeling Thile is a fan of Napolean Dynamite and would...
I felt like a kid in a candy store Wednesday night when they played in Durham, NC! Not only was the performance as incredible as I expected it would be, I walked out with a T-shirt, their new CD and...
With the IBMA in Raleigh again this year our local public radio station has focused on bluegrass. Here is a link to listen to the Sierra Hull interview.

I have an omnidirectional test and measurement microphone you can borrow. If I recall it has a flat frequency response from 20-25kHz. I should be working in your area some time after labor day and...
I've been out of town and missed all of these! Although, I just found out if be in town for the Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer concert Oct. 8th at the Carolina Theater in Durham. Managed to get a decent...
I have the Golden Age tuners on a mandolin I built and they're very nice. Good looking, smooth action and they stay in tune very well. I have no real experience with the Waverly tuners though.
Nice! I was wondering if there was a more specific reason they were performing here in Durham this fall. How exciting!
Here is a similar video on that use of a metronome I saw recently from Victor Wooten.

I have no financial interest in this mandola so I hope it's cool just to get the word out about a sweet instrument I played today. I went into the Guitar Center, Knoxville to listen to some studio...
I use this one quite a bit and love it. Since I haven't crashed with it I have no comments but, the times I have crashed on my bike I always landed on the front part of my body and don't think a...
I would like to buy your Eastman tailpiece if you don't want to keep it. Just let me know.
iTanpura is really good. We even use it during our classical Hindustani concerts
Yeah, I just recently acquired an Eastman mandola and since I play classical Indian music I need to slide around the strings a good bit. I ordered the TI 164 set last week and found out yesterday...
Since you mentioned Nashville, I assume you may not live too far from Knoxville. There's a beautiful Weber at a shop called The Music Outlet in Sevierville, East of Knoxville. I'm pretty sure it's a...
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
I've been bitten by the mandola bug! I had played a 100 year old Gibson mandola while visiting Knoxville a few months ago and loved it! First one I had ever even seen in person. But, I couldn't...
