I've played over a dozen different Loars. My favorite ,however, has been a 27 Fern. It had all the cut one should have. The wood was definitely Loarish and Gibson said it was a Loar body most...

Will miss pickin at and with you
Wouldn't miss it. I enjoy the jamming and meeting old friends.
As already stated, deal with confidence with Elderly. I, too, am a long time and repeat customer. I think the entire staff mirror the integrity of Stan Werbin. Nuff said. I notice there are no...
Add me for the Cd draw
I was in Orlando last weekend and looked for some bluegrass music. The Cafe talked of a jam in Mt. Dora but the thread was 3 years old. I have a new grandson so we will be back soon. Anyone know...
See you there Joe.
I had one myself and it was a great mandolin, regardless of the price. Mine was an 80's model that resurfaced here on the cafe a couple years ago. Enjoy.
As they say, been there and done that. I can't remember if it was the 2nd or 3rd year but I still have the T shirt. It was a good time and I really enjoyed the jam sessions in the evening. I was...
The un-mentioned thing thus far is how will the new dating effect pricing and valuation, especially, for the 26-27 Ferns that now show shipping dates of 28-29. Anyone in the know care to opine?
Me too. Please forward if you get an extra offer or one you do not like
Joe, I just want to agree with your post. Also, I have seen Danny encourage young players and just generally be nice and friendly to them. I have seen other artists who won't take the time with...
I also have John's Telephone #. Contact me by email at dr.dusty@mchsi.com
What about a black light to determine varnish or no?
First quality is a great stop. Also, you might try Guitar Emporium on Bardstown Road. There are a lot of eating places up and down the street nearby the Emporium. The last few times I've been...
As an additional comment, I often have to travel with several people which necessitates the instruments traveling in the trunk or an equiptment trailer. When the weather is cold, or really as a...
Big Joe, did you notice Mike Edgerton's comment about the white binding on the "true ferns". Josh might be interested in reading this.
I played Tom's Loar at SPBGMA as well as Danny Robert's Loar. I also have played Mark Royal's 29 Fern that has to be up there with the best. I didn't get to play it, but the best sounding mandolin...
Got here last night (Thurs.) to beat the snow. I wandered in late to the entry-way jam and got to play a very nice '24 Loar. It's always fun to try another fine mandolin in a jam. Generally, most...
I'll be there from Fri. morning on. Looking forward to seeing Big Joe, Steverino, and all other cafe'rs. If you want to jam and do bluegrass 24/7, it's the place to be.
Good mandolin, good builder, still a joy to play. Warning, unless you want to continue suffering from MAS, don't get a Daley. It is a definite cure. I am fortunate to live within 100 miles of...
I can't comment on the Clark but will recommend Sim for a build. I got the tone I wanted. Sim did some adjustments on the tone after I played it in the white. Also, I asked for a neck that would...
How about a little more? The house is Charlie's. The other pics aren't historic but just added to the experience.
You are all welcome. I really enjoyed the visit and talking to Darrell. He opened the house up for us and really treated us right. I could almost hear the foxhounds......
