Don't you mean 6 LP's? The Bluegrass Compact Disc Vol I and II both seem to contain a mix of tracks from volumes 1-4 (and maybe 5?), and not all of the songs are even included. The Down The Road...

Here's a pretty good article with some historical information and other stuff.

Another good one with some fine mandolin playing is An Americana Christmas which features Ronnie McCoury, Norman and Nancy Blake, Vassar Clements, James Bryan, and Roy Huskey Jr.

Here's a color version which was used as the inside cover on Christmas With The Louvin Brothers CD on the Razor & Tie label. Not sure if it was on the original Capital album.

So let's see, apparently about 15 were made before they started writing in the numbers. The first 100 made were supposed to be numbered and signed by David Harvey, but they were not numbered in...

Here's a demo video from a couple years ago. I am madly in love with mine.

I own an '09 Jam Master F model. I've had a Japanese Kentucky KM1000, a Flatiron F5 Artist, a Duff, a 2002 F5G and a 2003 F5 Fern in the past, which were all good mandolins. I definitely prefer the...

I once broke up with an amazing beautiful girl when I found out her real name was Gertrude. I think I'll keep the Jam Master, though.

The Gibson dealer I spoke to said that production of the Jam Masters and other wider necked models was delayed indefinitely since the flood, but they planned to build more eventually. The one I...

It looks like he just said, "No, you stand back".

My late '24 A2Z and my '25 AJr both have worm-over the gear tuners with modern .906" spacing. I installed some Golden Age A-style tuners with modern spacing on the A Jr. Only a very small...

The 1923 Gibson catalog lists the price of the F5 at $250, or $275 with the case. A 1923 Model T roadster sold for $269.

Scooping refers to removing several frets and some material from the fingerboard extension to increase pick clearance. I used a Dremel tool, files, etc. (see Frets.com). The tailpiece is an old,...

Here's my 600 after scooping, bare-necking, and de-shining. I did not do any distressing, so now it just looks a bit softer and warmer. Also added a Doug Edwards armrest and swapped out the cheapo...

I am taking all of this in with great interest. There are quite a few ideas to consider from many knowledgeable people, but no real consensus. I did talk to a local guy with a Rofin laser welder...

After closer examination, the crack actually goes all the way to the 3rd string, you just can't see it in the picture. I don't think it would hold up long if I made it worse, so I won't risk it. I...

Thanks for all the help. It has not been causing any buzzing or breaking strings. Heck, I have no idea how long its even been there, I may have just not noticed it before. I think I may try the...

The Waverly Cloud tailpiece on my '25 A-Jr is starting to crack at the bend. Is there a good way to repair this that will last a few more decades? Is this something a jeweler would be able to fix?...

If it's not too much trouble, could you also tell the rest of us slobs who to vote for, what religion to practice, and what deordorant to use.

I think your mandolin will sound better than ever with a new nut and set-up. You probably haven't even heard it at its best yet. I was fortunate to find an LM-600, beautifully set-up with the bone...

I just finished one of Don Kawalek's OM kits, without the benefit of attending a workshop. My only previous experience was building a Stew-Mac A5 kit about 25 years ago. This project was...

Elvis, Mike Compton, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan and the rest of the Sugarcanes are scheduled to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman on June 4th. I imagine they'll be doing something from...

The Golden Gate case can be easily modified to fit oval hole Gibson A models. Just remove the screws that hold in the storage compartment, cut off about 1/2" from the bottom of each side, re-glue...
