Yessir, Love mike and try to copy everything he does!
Very cool thread thanks for posting.
For those who are interested Chris also is a fantastic teacher who gives Skype lessons and will also do super accurate note for note video transcriptions of...
I have a bovier special and while I didn't put a CA Bridge on, I did however make a series of bridges from Red Henry's page and these made a HUGE impact on the sound. The mando was overall much...
Does anyone have a side by side comparison between the north field and j.bovier?
I've had both but sold te km1000 cause the neck was pretty thin. I now have a jbovier that I'm happy with. It plays great and sounds wonderful. It has a throaty pop to its sound and its is loud. I've...
I wonder what the different tonal characteristics between zebra and maple are?
Alex, I'm sorry to be confrontational in the past posts but I am pretty passionate about this subject. Obviously.
So my advise IF you want to delve into Monroes style is as follows.
(To all...
"Feeling" is the epicenter of monroes playing. Remove feeling from his style and you have joe Carr!
I admit I have not seen the Carr lesson but have seen Sam playing Monroe and lost interest in...
Interesting? Yes but wrong..........In order to get bills sound you'll NEVER get it from these guys. Don't get me wrong, they take the music to a new level but while they can play the notes it just...
His break in that tune is Genius, my only advice is to slow it down and play one note at a time. Mac users can use Garage Band, pc users, well, go by a mac!
Anyway for all things Monroe look here....
I HATE the phrase "good for the money". It's simply an excuse for buying a pack rim instrument.
My bovier special is a wonderful instrument that I would put up against other builders with few...
I've had my Hiscox for a few years and never had an issue with fit or anything else for that matter. As for the bulk issue people have with this case, my TKL case always was easy to knock over even...
I just made a maple bridge for my "special". I got the plans from Red Henry's site

I made mine with all hand tools, cost...
Brad, I don't think that's very nice. The OP was mearly pointing out what has been discussed here at length; that some mandolins are very much over priced and whether you agree with the OP or not...
I've always thought mandolin players were smarter that all othe musicians but I guess I was wrong. However we all have spell check, maybe we should have a tutorial how to turn on.........!
Wow, there's a lot of input here. But here's my thoughts.
In order to learn Monroe's music you have to LISTEN to Monroe's music. For me that meant NOT listening to anything else so when my brain...
That's NOT true! Long Black Vail. These awards pick the same people over and over. Adam is fantastic but there are other mandolin players out there and again they go unnoticed as with Barry bales,...
Does anyone use or know of a personal monitor for the mandolin so that the player can hear the instrument in his ear? I'm not looking for a stage monitor, but rather something with an ear piece. my...
I'd love to go but just can't swing the money.
I love Mike, what a great player and a great inspiration. Very humble and great teacher, he's my biggest inspiration.
Thank you Homespun!
That looks like a Mickey Mouse Ring.........what the,..........?
Also, notice how hard he's playing. He makes it look so easy but that's part of his "sound" and he played wpeven harder when he was...
You CANNOT go wrong with a bovier. Talk to Kyle at the mando shop. Mine is fantastic and I don't care if it was under a grand.
How do I know?
They break!
Does anybody remember "Freebird" this still haunts me.
