I know it's been ages since I've posted here and I've mostly been playing guitar these past few years -- but not entirely. I recently started messing around with my Howe-Orme mandolins and decided to pull together a lot of information I've been sitting on since 2006 when Gregg Miner and I published our article in Fretboard Journal. So I slapped together a deep-dive into information about Howe-Orme mandolins and put it up on YouTube. Some is speculation but with some factual basis. It ended up being almost an hour and a half so if you know in advance that your attention span is only about 5 minutes, best not to bother. It's not a slick YouTube video by any means and I'm not looking to monetize the effort, just want to share what I know. Aftger starting the project, I discovered that two key sources I'd relied upon for critical information -- Rick Turner and Patrick Sky -- have both passed. So it seemed all the more important to preserve this information and communicate my appreciation for all I learned from them.
