Yeah, I saw it on Bluegrass Today also. Bummer for me. Hard to believe. Especially changing careers all together (BTW, I did the same thing). What a certified monster talent he is. My favorite...

The bluegrass band I'm in (Fine Line Bluegrass) does the song. Our female mandolin player does a great job of singing it.

...I've read nothing but great things about them. He's made them (and guitars) for quite a few big names including Rick Faris and Nick Dumas of Special Consensus, Junior Sisk, and Wayne Benson, just...

What cuyuga red said. I'll tell you a little secret if you promise not to tell anyone. Promise? OK. I traded a Red Diamond (RD) 1922 David Grisman "Crusher" model to get the F5G. Shhhh!

OK, OK,...

Nothing like a Black Lightening Vincent 1952. OK, you can take it from there. ;)

I mean no disrespect, Brian, but this is exactly why forums fail before they even begin. It's up to you (if you're a BG fan) and I and anyone else interested in BG music to make a BG forum...

I visited a new bluegrass music forum this past week and have been VERY impressed. For those of you who are bluegrass musicians or fans there is something for everyone on The Bluegrass Hangout. There...

I played this song in my church several months ago. Beautiful Curtis Mayfield song.

Great. Yet another instrument he makes me sound like a total amateur on.

Isn't that like the wag dogging the tail? :grin:

Mine's an October 7th, 2014, Dave Harvey signed. It's a good'n.


Tom

Just curious if anyone else here owns or has played one of these. I've played and stood in front and listened to 3 of these and each one sounded surprisingly good. Very consistently great sounding...

I've heard Red Diamonds are every bit the mandolin as Gilchrists. But I've not played or heard a Gilchrist so I don't honestly know.

What Ivan and Allen said.


Tom

Mike, funny you should mention that song. My band rehearsed it last night. The Cox Family are such a wonderful band. Tremendous voices and over all talent. I hope they're still gigging.


Tom

Hey...I'm a guitar player. And I'm tellin' my mom!


Tom

I'm asking more out of curiosity since I own 2 Altman guitars. I'm not about to part with my Red Diamond. Sounds like their mandolins and guitars are of similar quality.


Tom

So, there is lake front property in Arizona?


Tom

Man, tough crowd. Different strokes, I guess. But I'm a pretty hokey, boring, and predictable person. I really am. And I probably should add unsophisticated. So, there ya' go.


Tom

I use a BC TAD 60 1R. It's gooder'n anything.


Tom

This is me to a "T". Since we're not full-time pros (I used to be) it's all about the fun of playing for me. I refer to myself as a "serious hobbyist". I'm serious about my personal playing and...

Top notch stuff, Rob. Tremendously useful. Thank you so very much.
