So sorry to hear this. Saw her in the 80s and 90s. What a good soul and singer songwriter. She left this world too soon.
West Michigan? As in Ironwood? “West” covers a lot of territory in Michigan. :whistling:
Regardless of one’s personal convictions, I have to agree with the viewpoint of an inappropriate political topic, especially as the headliner. “ Topics started for or end up being used to discuss...
I play a traditional flat top oval in an ITM session, and I also want a GBOM. I’ve played several of the f-hole Northfield GBOMs, and they don’t have the rounder sound and big sustain that I think is...
That was precious. I think Butch was smiling down from heaven.
Yeah, Lee (man_dough_nollig) was an interesting character here on the Cafe. Like journeybear, I was also one of his Cafe friends. He lived in the Rockies and worked a few stints in Antarctica (with...
There’s no information about the length of each event, nor explanation (beyond the title) about the content. :(
I’m interested in an A-style CF mandolin with f-holes and a medium neck profile. It seems that an arched top & back wouldn’t cost any more than flat once a mold is created.
Beautiful! I’m guessing cedar/koa. I’ve been jonesing for one too. Enjoy it in good health Scott.
Well said. My sentiments exactly... Chris is resourceful and inventive. Hopefully, the Phoenix rises from the ashes in new form.
Happy birthday Mike from just up the road in Boyne City. So glad I finally got to meet you and play one of your legendary mandolins at the Great Lakes Music Camp. I was truly smitten. May you have...
And are you thinking of marketing them?
Superb idea and a great read! Nice to gain insight on how our musician friends are coping and spending their time in isolation. Thanks Scott. Looking forward to the next one.
Well, it’s certainly about as far as one can get from social distancing. Perhaps we’ll get there again...in 2021.
Gasp! That’s exquisite! Enjoy it in good health.
Such a great read! Many thanks to the contributors and the Cafe!
Agreed, and I support this statement by having the opposite experience as yankees1. I bought a Heiden A5 a year ago and have been so smitten with the balance, tone, looks, and playability, that I've...
Case in point, er rather point in case...
Thanks, that was a treat! Love the tune. Some nice close up shots too of Andrew and Dom picking those fine mandos.
How cool is that! Congrats Ted!
That’s an impressive miniature parlor. My wife is also into miniatures. Here’s an Irish cottage interior she created (with mandolin content).

Fair enough. I’ll just have to be patient.
Mary, since you’re talking voicing, could you compare/contrast the Ellis to your Heiden?
Too dry Mary? I never heard that before. I would not describe my Ellis and the half dozen others I’ve played as dry. Interesting. Maybe in a relative sense...Enjoy it.
