Like so many others, Paul advised and kept me on the right track through several projects. He found a good neck for my wife’s 30s L-00. When Paul removed the old neck, he called and told me that...

Melvin Tucker built wonderful mandolins and was a great friend. Melvin had been ill for the past year and was 72 years of age. RIP Melvin Tucker.174882
Troy Harris is an artist. Go to his website, look at his mandolins and you will see for yourself.
After a brief search, I find that Bucks is still around. Here is a link. http://shop.bucksmusic.com/xcart/
They can probably tell you more about the Buck Rough Rider!
It is an 8 ply case, all birch. Back then, Monteleone was selling through the Mandolin Brothers and the Buck Rough Rider was one of the choices for a Grand Artist. It was sold by Buck. I don't...
Sometime in the late 1990s, I sent Jerry Rosa a Kentucky mandolin. I had never been happy with the sound and Mr. Rosa talked me into replacing the top with one of his. When I got it back, I...
"Stewball" The Country Gentlemen did this one.
From Wikipedia:
There are two major different versions of the sporting ballad, generally titled either "Skewball" or "Stewball"; the latter is...
From Reader's Digest:
"More than 90 percent of household dust comes from people and fabric: tiny flakes of skin, barely visible fibers that float on the slightest air currents and settle on every...
If you could see the skin cells your body sheds all the time, it would look like an umbrella surrounding your body. These shed skin cells are what a man trailing Bloodhound is following. House dust...
USPS finally delivered this mandolin and only 2 months late. All is well that ends well.
Thank you, Scott. I really appreciate the help of all of you! Here are some additional photographs.125876125877125878125879125880125881
With the exception of Alan Bibey and the dobro player, these guys were Doyle Lawson's Quicksilver. When they left and joined Alan Bibey, they took the Quicksilver name with them. Didn't last all...
Let's not age Charley any more than necessary. Charley is 66 and will be 67 in December. However, you are correct in assuming that Charley does not spend a lot of time online.
I would look at 31 negative feedback ratings in a one month period as all I needed to know about this seller.
Another vote for the DPA 4099. I love it. I do swap between F-5 and OM during gigs. But like Ray(T) says, the mike lead is thin and it takes some practice to make a smooth, timely transition from...
I remember Wayne playing a Tucker. Can't speak to whether this one for sale is the same. Melvin Tucker made fine mandolins. I have ole number 13 and have had since it was new. I also used to have...
Wilma Lee Cooper was a great entertainer, full of energy. I was just talking about her Thursday night. Did not know she had passed away until I read Scotti's post.
Charley is very much still with us and living in Pennsylvania and still making great music. He is truly the Dave Apollon of our time. I had the great pleasure of making music with him during our...
The cello player with Sarah Jarosz is Mississippi's own Nat Smith, who tours regularly with Natalie McMasters. Through hard work and talent, this sixteen year old young man has a lot of people's...
The V-shape kept the strings in a straighter line from the fingerboard, through the nut on the way to the tuner posts. This reduced the potential for strings to bind in the nut.
Thanks for posting your photos, Knucklehead and RustyPickup.
I have great interest in the portion of this thread that concerns the Gibson H-5s made during the Steve Carlson era. I purchased one of the prototypes, that had been to the NAMM show, from George...
In my opinion, it is fine to use just one finger for Em. I have done it this way for years.
