    Default The Sound of the American Mandolin

    This is a great and informative video about Gibson mandolins, both pre-Loar and post-Loar.

    https://youtu.be/gv5E7OlKI5k

    In this documentary from 1995 Tony Williamson goes through the history of the American mandolin and plays quite a few examples of different instruments that demonstrate that history.

    A highly recommended watch if you haven't seen it.

    Especially good if you want to compare the tone a mando with a virzi and a mando without.

    Pretty interesting just to see the 'Before' pics of Tony.
