Massachusetts mandolin tasting meet

[Demetrius]

Hey everyone!
Here's our first Massachusetts
mandolin tasting meet video series..
You will get to see and hear some
wonderful handmade mandolins.
Dude, Gil, Brentrup, Duff, Stanley, Collings, Pheonix, and a Brunkalla...
This wasn't taken with any hi-def gear
Just an I-Phone. The video is split into
two segments and for some reason part
1 plays after part 2, so be sure to watch the whole
thing through to see the introduction and description of each
Mandolin. There is also a part three that wouldn't fit, but I will
Post that separately. It features each mandolin being played by
Ken Reback displaying a bluegrass style chop rhythm.
Also there will be some photos attached.
Enjoy!
Below is a list of the make and models in order played. Feel free to leave comments.

I really enjoyed your two videos and enjoyed listening to all these mandos. Let me know if you want to add a weber Yellowstone or rattlif country boy at your next tasting im only in Worcester

Very cool!

An informative, scientific approach. Bravo!

(But seriously, this behavior should be promoted and amplified)

[Marty Jacobson]

Nice. Did you record any comparisons of a less percussive passage being played? With this sample, it's almost impossible to tell differences in sustain between the instruments, and a couple of them should sound vastly different than the rest of the mix in that regard.
