  1. Re: Thile and Clay Hess Hotel Jamming Video from 2000 IBMA

    I really miss when Thile used to actually shred the heck out of the Mandolin. He was too good too young and now all he wants to do is make ethereal textures and soundscapes.

    Re: Dull and Lifeless

    What a difference a talented luthier can make with your instrument. More on the way it plays/feels, but sound as well. Also, I'm really digging the GHS A270 strings these day compared to other...

    Re: Mandolin Orange is now Watchhouse

    I’m sad to see them change the name on account of mandolins and the color orange are two of my favorite things. I thought the name was brilliant and unique. Watch house as a band name is kind of ...

    Re: Good bye Chick

    Poor Chick. He seemed so young and healthy for someone in his late 70's. I've been watching videos of him since he passed last week. Saw a good one last night of him hanging out in Spain and...

    F Cancer.

    I feel so bad for his wife & family knowing what they have gone through and will continue to go through. It's just the worst way to loose a loved one.
  10. Re: Hypothetical high dollar mando purchase question...

    If I had your kind of $$$ to blow on a mandolin I’d go with a Gibson DMM. After all, only a Gibson is good enough.

    Re: southern flavor - key?

    I learned it from the Bill Monroe “live from mountain stage” album. It’s Em except for one chord in the B section which goes D EMaj D B7. Also played that way on the live video with Monroe and...

    Re: The inferior mandolin

    Guitar player in my band has a MK mandolin. For years it had terrible action and old strings. He let me take it home and change the strings and adjust the bridge and truss rod. I was amazed at how...

  15. Re: mandolin comparison of three high class F 5 mandolins

    #3 sounds the best to me! Just a little darker and sweeter. #2 sounds a little buzzy. #1 and #2 are a little midrangey sounding.

    Re: Stereo mic question-Avantone ck40

    I have owned a CK-40 for several years. It has a nice sound, but one of the capsules seems to be louder than the other on my unit. Adjusting the level slightly resolves the issue. Tried contacting...

    Re: Phoenix mandolins closing shop?

    Oh no, this is so saddening. I love my Phoenix mandolins. My ORANGE select made this time last year may have been one of the last. Hugs to Jenny, she was an absolute pleasure to work with on the...

    Yep. Love the Primetones. Just like the blue Chips but a little darker. You tried ‘em?
  21. Re: New favorite pick! Hawk SB over Bluechip CT55
