Hello all, I have lived my entire adult live as a full time musician. 26 years in all...so far. I am proud to say it can be done. I am debit free, live in a bueatiful home that will be paid off next...
My #23 F5 keeps getting better and better.
Cheers
I may have to do some research but I am sure I read somewhere on this forum that Mr. Harvey said the 100 were not built, some went out without the second lable and also they were going to change the...
I should preface that with production runs, not the 20K plus limited edition Skaggs mandolins and such.
Cheers
Hello all, another member and I have been discussing this question because of the Gibson Jam Master that just sold on Ebay yesterday for $3251.51, I paid considerably less for my F model new when...
Hello, I posed the question, and a request to forward the question to David Harevy, to a well respected Gibson Mandolin dealer who is a member on this forum. The answer i got from him was;

That is a good question, I am going to email David Harvey and inquire...I heard he will respond to mail and is gracious about answering questions. Keep an eye out here for the next day or two and I...
It sold for $3251.51 with 46 bids. I believe the Jam Master may be becoming more sought after because it is quirky, has the second signed label by David Harvey, hand numbered and for the most part...
I know there are some Youtube videos of a black one but I have never seen the natural except in ads. I am not sue how many were made, I think the owners of them here on the cafe have only accounted...
Keep 'em coming fellows, it is interesting to hear about the various fest’s during the summer. I have been wanting to check out Kendallville and think I will this year, thanks Tony and Lee.
Cheers...
It’s getting warm out and that means the summer festival season. I am getting ready for Bean Blossom (being from the great state of Indiana) so my question is, “What is your summer festival?” If...
I had the very good fortune and luck to hear him play and then meet him in 08 or 09 at Bean blossom, he was traveling with a young player, a grand niece perhaps. He signed my mandolin case and was...
Hey Shawn, I remember you from our Gibson Jam Master conversations. I really hope all goes well for you, live it up while you are in Nashville, see it all, and do it all.
You are in our prayers....
I agree with mandobassman, my band plays wedding and corporates almost exclusively and YES wedding times will always change, rarely have I played a wedding that was on schedule. That being said,...
The answer is Yes, my Gibson goes everywhere with me, I would not have bought it if i did not intend to play it. To make a slightly left turn point, last September at Bean Blossom Danny Roberts...
~o)Great article, I actual camp on Hippie Hill every June and September. Bean Blossom is a tradition handed down to me from my Dad who has been going to the festival since "67" and before that would...
I agree with barney 59, I came to mandolin by way of the guitar and it is a completely different mindset and technique (I had to learn that the hard way). Fingers should be more at a 45 degree...
When I started playing mandolin I planted and would also drag my fingers near the “F” hole resulting in finish wear. I did break the habit by hooking my fingers toward my palm by way of “The Mike...
Welcome to the obsession...I mean to being a mandolin owner. Enjoy the ride.
Cheers, Brian.
Well Mandy Lynn of course…#23 Gibson Jam Master.
Cheers, Brian
I own a Gibson Jam Master, it is the real deal. I have heard a few 70's F5's and all I can say is ...thin, small, and tiny sounding.
How have you been 300win? I have the Eastman and the travellite as well…If I am not mistaken the Eastman case is a plywood case wrapped in a nylon outer shell. I have had zero issues with my Eastman...
Congratulations Shawn, I am glad you made a decision. Enjoy and practice hard, Brian.
My frist one was named "lucy" my current one is named "Mandy Lynn #23":mandosmiley:
I have the Jam Master and highly recommended it, as far as the Chris Thile sound I agree with you, I put a set of “Flat Top” strings on my Jam Master and it comes very close, the only thing that...
