There is also a phone app called "Tunepal." It's like Shazam for Irish music. It will listen to a tune being played, tell you the name, and even display the sheet music for that tune. It might be...

I attended several years back. It was great - class sizes were small, the instructors were awesome, and the after hours jamming was fun. The year I went Paul Glasse and Shawn Lane were the mandolin...

I've seen people who are decent players but they have some timing issues where they add extra beats and things like that. It could be a situation where you can play the melody along with a metronome...

I played the Pava F-5 that Pava had at Winfield, which I believe was headed for IBMA, and it was a great mandolin. I also got to talk with Pava quite and bit and she was delightful. The Pava F...

Ivan, I believe that is Tom's personal mandolin. He had it at Winfield this past year and I got to play it some. It's been played and bunch and it was really open and amazing sounding. It...

I saw these guys at Winfield last year. They put on a very entertaining show and Myles is a monster. He also participated in the fiddle workshop. One of those young guys that makes you want to burn...

Hi Tobin, I'm just about a year ahead of you. I decided to start playing fiddle a year ago, also at the age of 40. For what you want to do after you get some basics down on bowing, holding the...

Joe is one of my favorite players and he makes that mandolin sound great! I was lucky to hear it in a jam in Dallas a few years back. He was a super nice guy as well. It's awesome when the...

Look on Mel Bay's site. Many of the books are available as a PDF download that you can read on your ipad. Both the books you mention are available on that site and if you look at the main header of...

I don't think that's the Antique. Tony played another guitar with the enlarged soundhole before he got Clarence's guitar. Note that the guitar in the video still has the Martin logo on the...

I bought an instrument from Kevin and had excellent customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.

An acquaintance of mine has a Kimble BB model and I've gotten to hear it and play it in a few jams. One of these jams was at Winfield a few years back and we had 2 Derringtons, an Ellis, the Kimble...
