You can really see the disgust on his face in this picture. He's clearly seeing another Mandolin player using a capo.

I was watching an old interview with William Smith Monroe last night and I thought that his mutton chops Mae him look kinda freaky. Also, I heard he had a very bad temper and would yell at everyone...

i saw him a couple of times but never with this ensemble. The album, though, really turned me into a Chick Corea, Mike Brecker, Eddie Gomez, and Steve Gadd fan. I wore out 2 vinyls and still listen...

Ha ha! I am ADDICTED to looking at the Cafe classifieds. It’s the highlight of my day. I only allow myself to do it once with my morning coffee, and once after supper, or I’d probably have to join a...

Lots of info on this subject in the interview we did with Chris in 2012: Chris Thile in London Interview.

Picture below: the photo that came with the mandolin when Chris bought it that had no name...

Someone should coin a term (like Godwin’s law, etc.) for when Thile gets mentioned and all hell breaks loose after.

I just sent you the data on it including the only two people who replied to your ad. Interestingly, only 390 total ads in the Classifieds in early 2010.

Flatiron: setting the record straight and a bit of context:

I primarily agree with the prior posts here which emphasize the untenable act of forging the 'Gibson' name and passing off forgeries and...

So how long before Gibson goes after Epiphone? ;)

What date is your Loar-signed F-5?

The labels are authentic and actually signed by Bill Monroe, not a photo copy.

There comes a time in threads like these where I feel compelled to point out that Thile thinks long and hard about things like picks, strings, instruments, microphones and how to use them to make...

He really milks the tone with a Casein pick.

It just seems to me that while it is irrefutable that many want more volume, consistency, control or whatever, the bluegrass and old time music we love and are inspired by was about taking a hunk of...

Don from D'Addario here - Our Mandolin packaging was recently updated to include points. So out in the marketplace, it will take some time to for all the old packaging to work their way thru. If you...

My first MT-level mandolin was a Silverangel Econo that's an excellent mandolin, but it also has a fairly pronounced V neck with a 1 and 1/8 inch nut and larger frets. It took me some time to get...

Neck size and neck profile is very much a personal preference on any string instrument. Different strokes for different folks. You state that you prefer a smaller profile guitar neck. But some people...

Lots of people have strong opinions about it. Difference is, most have the decency to not be out here drumming it in public every day, year after year every single time the subject arises, after...

Grumping online at organizations and people you don't know from across the pond and will likely never meet won't achieve anything. Unless you join and vote--which means you'd have to open your...

Obviously you dont know Telluride. It is exactly not for people like you - and believe me they are doing fine ;)

You should start a change.org petition and collect signatures for your suggestion that Sam Bush be excluded from the Telluride Festival. Maybe he is what has been holding the event back for the past...

Life is short; Eat off the good china, never buy cheap whiskey, and play a Gibson F5L. :mandosmiley: When you die, they shovel dirt in your face and sell your stuff at a garage sale.....

Flowers might help.

"Gibson didn't brace the H1s and H2s for the long haul . . ."

Well, maybe yes and maybe no, but the most frequent causes of top sinkage on these old mandolas [and mandolins] is:
1. The...

The voices told me to stay home and sharpen my knives.
