I usually think of myself as pretty open minded..............

Generally, I do the bass side first, cleaning once the GG/DD strings are off (dusting, wiping, oiling the tuners) after restringing the bass side, I flip the mandolin around and do the treble side!...

Dang...I should be Thile by now then!

I will say this, Im not impressed with the name "Gibson" I dont care about the history, Gibson makes loar copies like everyone else...BUT I do believe Dave Harvey KNOWS a good mandolin and the ones...

This statement kind of explains the whole bluegrass counter culture doesn't it?

I asked Victor Wooten, "We all have musical seasons, how does one push through a winter season when your not progressing like you should?" and Victor said matter of factly..."You dont, Anything you...

Kentucky mandolin?

I do it all, I have hangers in my house for during the day when I want fast access, At night before bed it usually goes in the case. On stage I have a hanging hook mounted halfway up a mic stand and...

I bought a blue chip, liked the way it stuck to my finger.. didnt care for the tone so much. Went back to a certain unmentionable organic material I had been using. Recently discovered the d'andrea...
