It looks like the only one making the cut from the old band will be Rich Dworsky. I'm glad he'll still be there. The rest are familiar names though....

I can't call myself a DeadHead but I do have the Extra Large version (3 CDs) of the Pizza Tapes in my truck CD player right now. It was a great loss.

That was a great read and thank you for all of your wonderful rescue work!

I agree. Odd choice of photos.

I have a BC TAD-1R 60. I love it. It's a great pick but, on mandolin, my favorite are Wegen Trimus picks. 2.5 or 3.5. I should add that I have fairly large hands.

I'm in the group that believes a portion of the value of an item can belong to a variety of intangibles. A modern Ford Mustang can out perform many of its predecessors. But take an old Mustang,...

I've heard Hawk picks might be worth a shot. Never tried one though.

This Hawk pick vid may help a bit. It shows picking hand position relative to bevel.

From his site... a 25 inch scale length and a 16 inch wide body.

NFI - This Gernandt mandocello sounds so nice. And the quilted back and sides really make it eye catching.

Making a statement now, in a company that old, may or may not prove true in the fullness of time. Zildjian (cymbals) was founded in 1623 and they are still going and changing. You never know what a...

Whalebone in this context probably referred to baleen. It's not bone, but it is from a whale.

Amazing, and most cool! Is that Rudy Dopyera I see?
