This guy and Wayne Henderson are like giants in their field. I can never get enough of this stuff.

[Ron McMillan]

Very enjoyable, thanks.

Thanks for posting! How I'll get a chance to play one of his creations some day!

[BrettMoore]

Very cool! Years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Lynn's shop and I was so impressed by what a kind person he is. I've played a handful of his mandolins and guitars and they've all been stellar

You Americans did it again. Why do I fall for this trap over and over?
All these years I thought Lynn was a woman's name... :crying::redface:

We actually have Lynns, Marions, Leslies and years ago I once knew an Irene.

Hah I love it!

Wife: Lynn, I want a dulcimer.

Lynn: Absolutely honey. Now if you can just let me buy about 50 to $60,000 worth of machinery and build a workshop I'll definitely build that dulcimer for you.

How do you avoid awkward situations? As when meeting for the first time after exchanging business emails, frantically hiding your astonishment.

How do you avoid awkward situations? As when meeting for the first time after exchanging business emails, frantically hiding your astonishment.
With a chuckle, and talking about it openly. "I never met a man named ____ until now." A smile, a handshake. Helps being named Robin, I suppose. Anyone with an ambiguous name knows that it is. If you are surprised, no problem. If you are embarrassed, then it's awkward.

I knew a LaVern. Luckily for us he went by the nickname "Vern."

I hadn't seen that. Really good. And it explains how, or at least makes it plausible to the layman, how over the top workmanship can really be accomplished.

[Dave Hanson]

Great film, thanks for posting Demetrius.

Lynn has a good, straightforward approach, no gimmicks. To him, it is based on classic design, wood choice, and measurements. And getting it perfect. He enjoys all the steps in the process equally.
