Looks like Barry Mandolin on the Mitterhoff.
Del with Jon Glik on the fiddle and Mike Garris, bass. Sorry can't help on the others!
Thanks for all these great photos, Darryl! I'm late to the party, but really enjoying them...have to break out my own soon!
This was taken in June 1967 at the first Beanblossom Festival. A trio of heavyweights!

Wow....the last post here was 11 months ago! Well, here's a photo from (best as I can recall) Spring 1984 of my old group Stoney Point. We played throughout California and the West for many years, doing our best to keep traditional Bluegrass alive. Pictured left to right is the late, great Dean Trammell on fiddle, my old friend of over 46 years years Craig Wilson (builder of those amazing Wilson mandolins & 'dolas!), Peter Berger with the bass, myself on the old D-18, and Phil Mino (arguably the most avid Doug Dillard fan on the planet). This concert took place in Bakersfield at Stockdale Music....notice the Bill Monroe "Ibanez" poster between Dean and Craig!

Playing a funky oval-hole scroll-body mandolin, several mandolins retuned to CGDA, three CGDA-tuned Flatiron mandolas, two Flatiron mandolas tuned as octave mandolins,and a six-course 25.5" scale CGDAEB-tuned Ovation Mandophone.
Love mandola?
