I was so charmed by the tone of my (red) 815v that I bought it and use it as my main mandolin to see how it breaks in and opens up. After a few months of serious playing it still has what Jellwoo...
John Duffey's desperate wail in his solo on Last Train from Poor Valley on Act 2 from the Seldom Scene.
Thank you for posting this!
Ray(T) are you suggesting with your one worded communication "Evidence?" that I have my numbers wrong? I have played my 513 for about 8 years and the thread I linked to is pretty clear, don't you...
It's a 513. That model was the first serious mandolin that I could afford in my teens. I think it has a pressed top and at the time I was really happy with it, given the alternatives. It will not...
One visit to Brighton taught me more about the variety in top quality mandolins than any festival, jam or instrument store that I had been to. Thank you for what you meant for the mandolin world,...
I'll share some thick and chunky opinions and see if anyone dares to oppose with good examples.
-Keep it quiet, dry, simple and sparse. Variations will stand out and have stronger impact. Let the...
I hear a guitar doing a great job in emulating a vocal or saxophone line using tremolo. In the mandolin world David Grisman sometimes plays that way. Paul Buskirk comes to mind too. I have trouble...
Jack Tottle's "backroad mandolin" LP has a few tracks with great McReynolds style crosspicking that is very much like Andy Statman's on "Andy's Ramble": adventurous in musical ideas, yet true to the...
Harry Boetzkes in the Netherlands usually has some kentucky mandolins for sale.

I PMed too. Good luck finding what you'd like.
I like chenille strings. With some kinds of tailpiece they look and work better than those silly grommets.
Melody and harmony are in "the big book of bluegrass".
Woo! That's frivolous mandolin playing! Thank you for posting.
Two tips to fix pick direction:
*Don't play the tunes you've memorized the wrong way for a long time.
*Practice the tunes and phrases you tend to mess up with a bounce.
Actually, I think there...
There is a reason for wanting to feel where the fleshy parts of your right hand are, and keep them ready.
You will have a great extra tool in your box when you learn to mute with fleshy parts of...
Wow, great music.
Ivan, I would be surprised by not so much the range as rather the timbre. But hey, surprise me.
If that's Wayne Taylor, we have a new mystery: What turned that great piercing tenor into Wayne's lazy baritone?
Dudley Connell, I'd say.
I think Jesse McReynolds was always recognized as a brilliant and very versatile innovator. I don't think he ever got "branded" (does that mean labelled, in a negative way?) as a stylist by anyone. I...
I think useless remarks about the names of these brands do not benefit the quality of this thread in particular and forum in general and have possibly been the reason for the OP to start a new...
Hi all, someone put a batch of lovely videos on youtube.
The link will get you started with Jethro's tune but there is more from the same person.
