Hmmmmm... Bill Monroe,,,,,Electronic organ,,,,,Don't think we want to go there.

For everyone with money to burn, one seller out of Dallas has both a Monteleone and a Gilchrist on offer on Ebay. Get out those checkbooks.
The DUD DUD is essential. You need to start each 3 note sequence on a downstroke. This becomes vital when you add a 3-5 note roll on the 1st note of a sequence.
Not to be a wet blanket, but I'm not sure I see where it matters. The wood itself doesn't have tone or volume, the finished instrument does. So in addition to the wood, you would have to factor in...
a Mandolin cage match. That will settle it. Thile is kinda puny so he won't stand much chance.
I use a room humidifier during the winter months, keep it and the instruments in a closet separated from any heating/cooling vents. Had a guitar builder advise this to me since cases are not airtite...
There's nothing on Ebay that you wouldn't find in brick and mortar stores. there's just more of it , good and bad. Reading posts here seems plenty of people still find bargains there. Where else...
[QUOTE] I don't know how anyone can say Chris is technically proficient but doesn't have soul. Have you heard some of the stuff he's written?

I've always put the "opening up" phenomenon in the "juju" category. Probably something to it but its subjective and non-measurable. During the period of time that opening up is supposed to be...
I think different people relate to and retain symbolic information in different ways making both tab and notation useful. They each have their own strengths in particular settings and there's never a...
I think Weber or any other company can pretty much do wahtever they want as far as setting restrictions on their dealers. A number of companies have tried to simultaneously use the internet to market...
There would be more tamburzita groups today but for the tragic gang violence that erupted between them and the better funded mandolin orchestras funded by Orville. No shootings, but the East Coast...
Did I say Loar/ My bad, I was looking at the headstock and it just screams Martin/Stauffer.
Be sure to check the label to see if it was signed by Ahmed Loar, the famed tamburzita luthier, could double the value
Its funny cause the other guitar player looked like Tony Rice's cover photo from his self titled album. Couldn't have been since Rice was younger but it was enough for a double take.
Are you trying to have the last word AGAIN?
I thinks thats doubtful only because one of their first significant outlets was Elderly in Lansing who does huge business via their website. They have always had a policy where you had to "inquire...
[QUOTE] Does that satisfy your curiosity, or were you hoping for something else??
I wasn't "hoping" for anything. I asked a question simply because I was surprised at your comment since I thought...
Hard to concieve of where Clarence would have taken the music had that tragedy not occurred.

Not to get off topic here, but in light of the above, why is there a...
Don't have any insights into Weber's motivation but I seriously doubt it has anything to do with image. More likely they are hearing complaints from smaller non-Ebay dealers who are losing price...
Who knows what you might end up using? Leo Kottke played trombone before picking up guitar which would only make sense after you heard him. Tremolo?....Can you say Dick Dale? Expect a lot of mandolin...
Stop where you are..... Move away from the keyboard
