....& on to British Columbia to teach & perform at the Nimblefingers workshops

Give Byron Myhre a call at Myhre's Music in Edmonton....maybe he can get a set for you

DW, That's also why the pickguard got re-installed on John Reischman's Loar. I am shaking my head in disbelief at the photos. :disbelief: This case illustrates the point I was trying to make in...

I think lots of vintage instrument owner/players are pretty savvy & educate themselves on matters pertaining to their instruments. If I owned a very expensive instrument (eg Lloyd Loar F5), I...

PB, You've got to make your way north again this august. Both Ben Winship & Eli West will be there & are killer octave mando players & both play Fletcher Brock's instruments....

Check that f5Loar, but if I owned a Lloyd Loar mandolin (which I don't), I wouldn't just send it to Gibson, assuming it would end up the the right hands. If I chose Danny Roberts to do the work,...

In my opinion, no.

You could buy a Northfield for the cost of those :popcorn:

Shaun, I like your humidifier in the right hand photo. :)

The Best of Texas, Eliis mandolin & boots by Leddy Brothers101679

Sam, As to your last question.... You'll find lots of us to support your choices; some based on the instrument, & some based on "well I never had an instrument like that when I was 15." Me, I'd...

"Not sure how long it will take you to save the other $9k for an Ellis? I'd consider getting a Pava from the Ellis shop in the meanwhile. In a few years when you have saved more, you will likely get...

Sam, I like them a lot, & you are right, Tom Ellis is a great guy. Much as I like the Fs, I really think the As are a huge deal at around 5k.
The workmanship is spectacular, as is the wood choice. ...

Bluegrass worth listening to: The 2 CDs from Winfield Banjo winner Jeff Scroggins.
Jeff Scroggins & Colorado & Western Branches. A really great band. Jeff's son Tristan tearing it up on the...

Thanks for posting, I had to go right there, because i'd only heard a live version of Tombstone Junction & it's great to hear it again.

In theory the new ones are awesome. In practice, a few years ago I had the chance to play one from the same era as Tim O'Brien's original Nuggett. I think it was originally $250, had a neck like...

That would be 500 euro = $667. Cdn/

"Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza".....the most expensive CD box set ever....started with an '18 Gibson A2...and went from there :)

Pickyaboutpicks....good question. Smoothness comes from technique...yes you could get it with a golden gate, wegen or bluechip...but I won't go there. Adam Steffey, who I consider to be a very...

Didn't Earl have a D18 with a trussrod cover?

Holding up the A end of things, recently is Joe Walsh of Berklee fame & formerly of the Gibson Brothers who plays a Gilchrist A....& incredibly well at that!

Sounds like it was a great event. I'll be going to a mando camp north of north, Nimblefingers.ca . There will be Ben Winship week 1 and the incomparable John Reischman playing Monroe style week 2. ...

Austin Texas :) :mandosmiley:

sidebar: Adam I once played one at Greg Boyd's that was the best mandolin in the house. WK builds a fine instrument!
Back to our regularly programmed MAS inducing dream...:)
