    Re: Lloyd Loar in 1921 on Bridges

    Just curious, who are you talking about?
  3. Re: Consider the Bouzouki: I never did, until I saw this!

    I was at this show, and it was brilliant. The Murphy Beds are brilliant and their album is brilliant. In many ways, they're the best thing going in Irish music right now. (They posted their whole...

    Re: New Campanella A

    I have a Campanella A (X-braced with an oval hole) and it's an absolutely brilliant instrument! Yours sounds brilliant as well, congrats!

    Seconded – totally worth the trip. Tom is great.
  7. Re: Market for standard and innovative A style mandolins

    Graham, I'm interesting in why a shop would say this. Does anyone know what is the profit margin is on a Collings vs. a "boutique" build. Unless I'm missing something, if kind of feels like...

    Re: Bob Taylor disses Tenors!

    I'm loving this conversation, but was anyone besides me put off by the really long 24-1/16" scale length of the Breedlove tenor? (I saw the Breedloves mentioned upthread, I thought I'd bring it up...

    Cohen Octave Mandolin?

    Anyone here ever play a Cohen OM? They are well out of my price range, but I'm curious as to what they might sound like.
  11. Re: Octave Mandolin Project from Eastman Mandolins

    Hey, does anyone know if there's been any sort of follow through on this instrument?

    Re: What would you choose for a $5000 A-style?

    I have an x-braced Campanella round hole A (although he normally does them with f-holes), and I have to say it's a pretty hot ride.

    Re: Augusta Irish/Celtic Week 2012

    Bump! Just a reminder that if you're planning to sign up for Marla's Irish mandolin class, now is the time! Hope to see a few of you there this summer!
  15. Re: Octave Mandolin Project from Eastman Mandolins

    Thanks PFCG! How would moving the bridge of center point to the body affect tone, do you think? Is that shift a significant thing?

  17. Re: Octave Mandolin Project from Eastman Mandolins

    PFCG, have you considered perhaps doing a couple mock-up drawings of the same instrument (à la a few posts above), but with the longer 22" scale? I think people would be interested in seeing them,...
  18. Re: Octave Mandolin Project from Eastman Mandolins

    Hey, there's nothing at these links – did you intend to attach images? I'd love to see them!

    Also, do you intend the instrument to be tuned GDAE? What gauge strings do you intend it to be used...
  19. Re: Octave Mandolin Project from Eastman Mandolins

    Wow, this looks like an awesome idea! I was just looking around for this very instrument only to find they don't really exist in the way I envisioned.

    That being said, I think a deep body with...

    Re: rocky road to dublin

    These would be easy enough to get by ear if you want, but they're both pretty close to the version that's on thesession.org: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/593

    Re: rocky road to dublin

    wommbatt, I just looked at the version you posted and it doesn't make any sense to me at all. What's the non-dots source you're interested in?
