There was also a mando-viola (10 string) with an A style body. That may be where some of the confusion comes from. I think it's part of someones personal Loar collection.

The original flight case...very cool! Not the most popular case in the modern carbon fiber age but it was the Cadillac of cases in it's day. Congratulations!

I'm guessing the original owner...probably still has nightmares of this THING coming back to haunt him! I'll be sure to lock my doors and log off of ebay tonight after seeing this horror show!

Hope I win 'em!

I wonder...is that pick made of bone? Maybe the nut?

Mathew Hiser of Bluefield, WV is the current mandolin player for CGC. He plays a Gibson F model but I'm not sure which one. I don't know for sure if he played on the recording.

:cool: Nice....

As with any add or contract, the devil is in the details. The add says "used by"...not owned by. Bill Monroe used my bathroom once...you get the point. I wonder how one can really put a value on...

*SINGS* I still miss her...but my aim is getting better!

Thanks for the help Jim! We are fortunate to have this community and all the wonderful things that come with it.

Rule number 1: If it's on the internets it must be true. I think Abraham Lincoln said that. Seems legit to me.

I have a friend that is trying to identify this banjo. Not much info on it and only this pic.

This book is a must read for Stanley fans or Bluegrass fans. It will make you appreciate the drive these Bluegrass pioneers had to succeed with their music. Lots of great stories and even some...

A little CAS to go with the MAS! I checked out the site but no prices. What is a ballpark price for one?

I guess the nostalgia factor can be applied to almost anything. Something about admiring and acquiring good the stuff from childhood. It can be a toy, auto, etc. Like a muscle car, the family wagon,...

Thanks for sharing Ivan.
Lol @ the New South comment. That band had swagger for sure.

It's a little off topic but I'll share a funny story. I was always a Wayne Benson fan and was heavily...

Thanks for the thorough response. Your knowledge of anything musical worth discussing is unsurpassed. I especially like the part about JD & NS. I have a Bluegrass Cardinals album "Welcome to...
