and thought I'd put it here. Can anyone tell me what make of bouzouki is being played? I know Joe Foley and Paul Doyle both make a similar type of headstock so assuming it's one or the other of those...
How about turning your back to the TV and watching it in a mirror?
That would appear to be in a place called Sant'Agata Li Battiati on the outskirts of Catania at the eastern end of the island, so was unfortunately some way off the path I beat. Still, thanks for the...
I've just returned from two weeks in Sicily (a week of which was spent in Palermo) and was very disappointed to not find a single musical instrument shop in any of the towns visited, which included...
I understand that, yes, but there are surely a great number of the instrument-buying public who feel that prices of around $1000 for instruments that are 80 or 90 years old still represents a large...
Thanks for the replies above and apologies for my very poor choice of words - yes, I meant their fame.
I've very often wondered if there's a particular reason why Gibson doesn't have any oval-holed mandolins in their range of new instruments?
Given the infamy of the vintage oval hole A models, it...
Some great records listed above, as well as many that I don't know which will be looked into in the coming days/weeks.
Some others that have been getting a lot of air-time on my ipod are:

Hi Bernie, it's not me in the clip.
was just looking at some of the youtube clips that youtube suggested I look at and this one was among them. It was uploaded to YT only a week or so ago, so I guess there's a chance it may not have...
Just looked inside my MD604 (built 2007) and the serial number is DE003.
Based on that, I'm assuming the letter part of the serial number simply indicated the country the mandolin was destined...
I've had one for about 18 months and they really are great fun.
Unbeatable value for money too (I think mine cost only 55 Euros). This was the video clip that made me want one:
...
There's also the Hobgoblin shop in London city centre (on Rathbone Place about 5 minutes walk leading directly from Oxford Rd - the nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Rd). It's not very big but...
Extremely handsome looking mandolin and surely a very tempting punt at the price you give on your website! For a mandolin that's apparently been stripped of all unnecessary adornments it certainly...
Now THAT is definitely going on my wish list! I pray for it to be released on DVD as I doubt it will be a cinema release here in Berlin (which - much to my general bafflement, if that's a word -...
Wholeheartedly seconded! Your Flatiron sounds absolutely fantastic but the way it was played is what really stands out. Superb! Another clip to be added to my favourites!
I very much doubt it, but then I assume the dvd is more about learning techniques than tunes.
If you go to www.thesession.org/tunes/ (use the search function there) you can get ABC notation for...
Thank you James for that description - that helped me visualise better where the crux of the matter lies and that - based on my assumption that the tailpiece angle will most likely lead over the top...
I'm just wondering if I'm correctly interpreting the OP's question and the replies that were given, as I'm considering having a James tailpiece fitted to a flat top mandolin that's being built for...
Thanks to all above who recommended "In Your Ear".. I hadn't heard of it before and after listening to a few track snippets on iTunes I've since downloaded the album. It really is excellent!
...
Hmmm... that's a very intriguing sounding feature. Would be very interested to hear a bit more about it if you could describe it some more. Size and shape etc. Thanks.
I don't think it's Enda's, Goodin. I was speaking to Tom Cussen yesterday about a banjo I'm getting off him and at some stage we meandered onto the topic of the video above as I also wanted his...
This is fantastic, Martin!! I've just watched every one of the clips listed in the first post and subscribed to your youtube channel half way through the second one. What a fantastic collection of...
I don't know if this youtube contributor is an authority on the subject, but maybe it will help your hubby in some small way
