Just letting you that Mike Black#12 is now in my home town. Welcome home kind stranger. I would say that I prefer the tone with this mando without the Virzi. She is so much like the others I have had so I can now I can truly take up my position as moderator of this social group. Thanks to Gary Wilson for this wonderful opportunity.
Awesome!
"I would say that I prefer the tone with this mando without the Virzi. " Are you suggesting that I need a Black oval without a Virzi? Because that's what I'm hearing!
Pat, Your mandolin is great - there is not much in it. The Virzi gives better projection - a more modern take on the Gibson oval hole. As
"Modern" is an interesting description for an option 94 years in the making!
Let's get a sound file/video!
I will work on one tonight and post it on Souncloud. I can do a video as well. I need some time for that- maybe this weekend.
I posted a sound track on Soundcloud. Here is the link. You can compare this with other mandolin I recorded there last year and this year. https://soundcloud.com/nic-gellie/record-0106
Nice! Sounds good.
Sounds great Nick. Hope you continue to enjoy it. I personally prefer the non Versi sound also. Gary
