    Re: Campfire & Outdoor Mando

    I'm with Austin Bob and a few other, but maybe I just live dangerously. I've won't hesitate to bring my Stiver on whitewater paddling trips up to, say, class III. Life's too short to settle for 2nd...

    Re: Stiver Model F Purchase?

    Pull the trigger. You know you want to. I also have a Stiver F ('94, #230) that I got 8 years or so ago (can't believe it's been that long!), can't sing its praises enough, but then can't speak to...

    Re: Gilchrist Summer 2014 Batch

    Also interesting is who's offering the $21.5 Gil in the classifieds: none other than Aubrey Hanie! I can imagine it must have some major mojo for some lucky picker (wish it was me)...

    Re: Mandolin Luthier Interviews

    I would 2nd the suggestion of Lou Stiver...but then , I am just a tad biased.
  6. Re: Merlefest 2014 - Wilkesboro, NC - April 24-27

    I've stayed at Moravian Falls before but this year I'm at Bandit's Roost (for the 2nd time, though not consecutively). If you're in the area look for a pair of 1st Up canopies (one turned into a...

    odd question re: case stickers

    OK, I know people are all over the place on this one ("I'd NEVER put stickers on my case, banish the thought!" to "Sure, why not, bring 'em on!"). Well, I happen to fall into the latter camp, my...

    Re: Teacher in central Virginia?

    Wish I had some news for you here in Lynchburg but there are no mando-specific teachers around here that I know of. Lynchburg music may have a guitar instructor who may know some mandolin, but I'm...

    Re: Stiver mandolins

    Congrats, Jeffd, on your new acquisition. Still hammering away on my Stiver F, and loving it as much as ever. I run J-74's on it. Had the extension scooped around a year ago and the frets dressed...

    Re: Value of Ricky Skaggs Signed Mandolin

    I personally wouldn't worry about resale value--you didn't have any plans to sell it, did you? I have a Washburn that I've had autographed by about 15 or so of the greats (Dawg, Ronnie McC, Bush,...

    Re: cleaning instruments

    Not that I'm particularly mindful of it on a regular basis, but when I do feel the need to clean my mando I've found Gibson's polish to work just fine. The bottle I have will probably last me for...

    Re: Some Tips for Beginners

    All good ideas, but I have to quote any of several music instructors from my youth: only PERFECT practice makes perfect. Another way it was put to me: practice makes PERMANENT. Maybe I'm splitting...
  16. Re: Ronnie McCoury on Pikelny plays Baker plays Monroe

    +1 on the McCoury DVD, was my first one ever (instructional DVD's, that is) and definately the one that had the biggest impact on me. Not to be missed (IMHO)!

    I as well did the finger-in-the-car-door thing, many years back, and was given the red-hot-paper-clip treatment to relieve the pressure, and yes, it was a special kind of hell for a few seconds there...

    Re: New Washburn Two Point

    I don't have the 2-point, but IMHO the Washburn F I do have definately does NOT have much pop, I think due mostly to excessive finish and tone bars the size of redwoods. That's why its been...

    Great (*true*) story, thanks Scott. And what mando was he playing.....a STIVER!

    Gotta love it (but no surprise).

    I've seen Aaron several times, and got to do a short (hour, maybe hour-and-a-half) workshop with him once in Roanoke. Yes, he is quite the mando monster!
