    Default Cool video of a Loar.

    Found this amazingly done video is a ‘23 Loar while searching for inspiration to practice this morning.

    Considering I’m listening to the video through my ear buds on an IPad, that is one amazing sounding Loar.
    Play em like you know em!

    A very nice video and a superb-sounding Lloyd Loar F5... well played too.

    I'm guessing most have seen this video of John Reischman and his Loar, but if not it's really cool:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvB2PxEsGbM

    Also, pause the vid at 2:18. Does he have different gauge strings within the G and D courses? The bottom D string sure looks unwound to me.

    Z,

    That shot at 2:18 has to be some B-roll of another instrument. I know John and have played his Loar a few times, he definitely doesn't have different gauges on those courses! A couple obvious giveaways within the video, if you pause at 5:39 you'll see all the strings are uniform in their courses. And at that moment you pointed out at 2:18, check out the pickguard, there's no white binding on it like the pickguard on John's Loar!

    Oh yeah, I was thinking that was a weird. Odd that a video production would use alt shots of an instrument when you have a Loar there.
