We've just put a few video clips of Peter Mix playing the first Rigel octave mandolin up at:

I checked it out last night... beautiful playing and awesome instrument. Worth the download.

Hey everyone! Just had a chance to download Peter's tracks/vids of the Raffle Zouk/OM. WOW... that has some serious depth.

The sustain on that thing is something...If you haven't downloaded... take the time!

Looks like they really hit a sweet spot. I hope Rigel get's enough positive vibes to keep building these things...!

Roger,
Have you had a chance to play it yet? Or is it still up in Vermont? Just curious...

No, I haven't played it yet as it's still at Rigel until we sell a few more raffle tickets ;-)

I think Pete Langdell @ Rigel is entering the CBOM arena with a big splash. I'm really impressed with the sound and can't wait to get my hands on it!

Roger,
does it have a pickup? Or was Peter playing through a mic? Seems really even across the courses. I know Rigel does have a great rep for pick ups...

Some really nice separation of each course on that recording... love the low drone sustain...

It doesn't have a pickup so he must be using just a mic. It does sound great. Lots of sustain and a nice growly bass. Wish I could buy a ticket!!
