Paracord is very forgiving, I have made several straps for various instruments!

Thank you Scott and others!

Have a listen to Levon Helm, Dirt farmer, and electric dirt.

My Dad playing guitar in church, leading the singing. Learned those 4-5 piece harmonies. Started drums in freshman year of high school. After high school 2 years in the Navy, after my release started...

One thing I forgot to mention that could matter - at the wedding gig I set up my aux speaker cab and amp at greater separation than usual, so I coupled two cords (one an actual twin conductor speaker...

Hi Drew,
I would be very excited to own a Skip Kelly F5. I too am from Statesville.

When asked specifically for FreeBird, we usually show at least one each and say "here's your freebird" or say "guy got a bird he trying to give away" I prefer the first one.

I'm with Tom, but having having set on that couch and playing that A5, I am a fortunate man.

Please keep us posted on your activities, I am about 2 1/2 hours from you.

I don't think they took A5 apart, but I will ask Tut and see what he says. What a great mandolin!

I have known them for a few years, wonderfully talented and soundly raised, homeschooled and humble. That is a great family!

I will use a slide in a standard tuning, especially around an aggresive dobro player!

I also was able to attend Tony's workshop and was just blown away by the variations in tones of those different Loars. A never forget day. Am proud to say F5Loar stopped in momentarily for one of our...

Very enjoyable!!

Wow...
Is this story true??
I remember when Tut was selling the A5, but I never heard this part of the story...

The story about how Tut bought the A5 and the F5 is true, the rest is Tut telling...

To me, Earl Scruggs was the father of bluegrass, it was all just hillbilly music till Earl showed up. I got to meet and spend some time with him at the 2010 IBMA, what a nice, gentle, soft spoken...

Willie, the sweet spot on mine is right at the end of the fingerboard and keeping the bow at a 90 degree angle with the strings. Go for it!!

I have a celluloid and it is a good pick, nice tone, just afraid of smoking around it.

glad you made it home safe Phil!!

Tut Taylor has the same problem with his left hand as you. He played very tasteful doublestops and tremelos and did not chop chords. I feel confident that your style is well on it's way also.

Link on the cafe homepage to jazzmando. Find the FFcP and have at it.

The Griffith Loar and a Kimble F5. That Kimble actually breathes!

Mike Bunting, thanks for the spelling lesson, never to old to learn.

I recently had a student come in with a Savvanah madolin, he bought it new almost 18 months ago, he got what he paid for. The action was as low as possible without removing material from the bridge....
