If you can find an older Kentucky (2008 to 2013 or so KM900, 1000, 1500), you will have a good chance of it sounding great. You hardly ever see those come up for sale.

The other part of the...

Here's the CBS interview with Sierra.

I think if you order one from the man who invented it, he will engrave it for you. http://www.axinc.net/James_Mandolin_Tailpiece_p/jtt.htm

I prefer slim shallow necks that have a V to them. Too much meat in the shoulders of D, U, or rounded V neck gets in the way for me and makes it feel like I'm fighting the neck to get around. A V...

The latest blue celcon picks I received are the size of the BC TAD picks. The BC CT55 is a hair larger than the blue celcon. I don't have any BC TP picks.

Just a reminder that I needed to polish...

Here's my .02. Play a tune you know with your left hand not pressing hard enough to get clear notes. You'll soon find out how little pressure it takes to get a clean note as you'll find some notes...

I went to a talk W. Eugene Smith gave in Louisville KY on his documentary photo work of the effects of industrial pollution in Japan just before he died. I had no idea of his connection to the jazz...

Really fine composing and playing on these tunes, Tim. I really enjoyed the mandocello playing. Very cool album!

Reischman's Loar & Compton's Gilchrist F5 stick out in my mind as the best 2 mandolins I've played. My Heiden A5 is the best mandolin I've owned.

The shop foreman was on top of it this day. A 2003 F5G headstock.

If you don't know the obvious places: The Bluebird for songwriters, The Station Inn--legendary live music venue, Carter Vintage and Gruhn for musical instruments. Dee's Lounge also has live music....

I'd save a lot of $ and buy a Hogan F5 and get an accurate copy of a Loar F5. If I did buy one, I'd dig the name out of the headstock with a pocket knife just for their constant lawsuit threat...

Happy birthday, Mike. The secret of your youth has been revealed. ;) See you at Monroe Camp.

The mandolin is gone so no reason for it to be public.

Here's what I do when I make a video to sell a mando: open strings, open chords, a slow doublestop harmonized scale on each pair of strings, a tune that uses all the strings--not played too fast, a...

I got my Line Audio mics through JP Gerard at No Hype Audio. JP also builds some highly rated ribbon mics, but I've never heard or seen one in person. I have heard some mandolin tracks recorded with...

Really great playing! Enjoyed that immensely.

I hope it's a very sweet deal. Congrats on the mando and on your handling of the situation.

Fun interview with Judy.

That was a cool story Luke Combs told about hearing that song all the time in his dad's truck. He recorded it on a lark in the studio (wasn't planned as part of his album) and it became a huge hit...

Yes, that's Matt in the red shirt. Next to him is Will Patton and on the right is Jamie Masefield. Pat Melvin is on the bass.
