It's for real. I have spoken to Tom Ewing about it, who knew nothing about it. That would mean in his 25 years of researching Monroe for the book, he never ran across one. He suspects when the...

My experience is that contemporary church music has fossilized into a standard format that rarely contains a melody line of significance, and is geared towards keyboards, electric guitar, and...
Festival and Performer models had integrated fretboard extensions. None of the other models do.
The F5, A5 - Junior, Performer and Festival were all tone bar braced. The other models were...
I didn't see that question as trolling. If you come from a classical mandolin POV, there is no use of capos. She may have honestly not been aware.
Capo use is much more common in the folk...
I am so blessed...
In the parking lot today my neighbor living directly below me flagged me down and came over to say how much she loved the music I play!
I play fairly loud electric guitar in...

re: the pickup, he had it designed for he mandolin.
re: amp, I like the AER compact 60.
Hi all,
I'm so excited by the new mandolin I just received from genius luthier, Oliver Apitius. In my opinion, there is no mandolin that is better suited to Jazz. And it plays like a dream. I...
Interesting survey.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be just one:)
Kate Wolf was another talent that was taken from us all too soon. She’s a staple in my music library and “Like A River” (the studio version) came up this morning. Thought I’d share a live version...

Yea, I found that coated strings or things like nickel plated strings last longer on the G and D strings but the A and E strings corrode like normal J-74's. I asked this question on the Thomastik...
TANGO EL BONGO composed by George Van Eps...played on my electric mandolin (tuned like a mandola).

There’s really nothing in between. I have some mandolins with Golden Age, some with Gotoh, some with Rubners. The Rubners are good. But I’ve not seen many F style sets for sale. I like the Alessi...
Irving Berlin: "Always"
This is a 1925 song in waltz time by Irving Berlin, one of his best-known tunes. I have recorded it as an instrumental for two mandolins with tenor guitar backing, using...
