They played the whole album during their Telluride set that was streamed on KOTO.

You can always use a feeler gauge to measure but probably.

Agree, there are many rail pickups for guitar and any will work.

Any rail pickup will work, doesn't need to be for a bass. Also check out Alumitones.

Those old arch tops, while they will never be fine instruments, can have their own charm. I fixed one up just to practice fretwork and binding. The cheaper ones had not only painted binding, but...

It hardly seems worth the trouble to carve a solid top and put it on a poorly repaired body that probably has heat-arched, possibly laminated back, especially since you're interested in learning the...

No sense in closing it. We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I love it when an audience erupts at the end of a song, even when it overlaps with the ringing of the final notes. Many of my favorite albums are live albums, and when the audience reacts that...

I once heard in a Chris Thilie video where he said he found it odd at a classical performance that the audience doesn't cheer or whoop it up at the end of a piece that the symphony just nailed.

For those who might be new to the world of "alternative strings" you might want to go back in time 30 years and give the early works of Mike Marshall, Darol Anger, and Dawg a listen. Thile didn't...

To watch on youtube that is...

These guys! I just can't get enough of this collaberation session. Emmanuel's guitar playing is solid as gold and Grisman's tone literally grabs me by the ears and...

And a video of them playing 'Tipsy Gypsy':

I know this ain't no part of nothin', but I love Stranger Things and its opening theme. And aren't you supposed to play songs you love?

By the way, I do have a photo but probably won't post it, but next door to the Collings booth there was a huge crowd at a ukulele builder's booth, and for very good reason. Jake Shimabukuro, aka the...

Building your own instrument is absolutely absorbing. You will build the thing a hundred times in your head during the process of building it on your bench. It can lead in unanticipated directions...

From Greg - "...I could watch this all day. Thanks! ". Me too !. I honestly wish that somebody would make a film of a luthier building a mandolin from start to finish. Apart from being instructive...

A quick 10 minute film about a fellow starting out. I thought some of you might like it.
