When I got my Kentucky 1050 I got it to play out in places I really didn’t want to take my nicer instruments. I took it to Lynn Dudenbostel to replace the bridge and set it up. He said it sounded...

I used to own the acoustic image guitar version of their amp. As a double violin and mandolin player, I found it didn't really sound any better than my old Loudbox 100. So I sold it to a buddy who...

Fast lenses
You can reduce some of the noise in the NLE you are using, DaVinci Resolve is free and has great tools, but there is a learning curve
I have a canon dslr and a canon c100 which is a low...

My Summit audio Td 100 tube direct box has +23 dBu headroom and a variable impedance go 10k to 2 M Ohms. If you need massive head room. its not cheap and needs ac power, but a lovely piece of gear. ...

A very good friend and a fine sound engineer relays a way to use a sub in a small acoustic environment: Use an aux send and only send to the sub the channels the have that low information. So the...

I love the sound of audient preamps. I gave away my RME Babyface to my son, so I might look at that as a replacement. The bottom line is the new inexpensive units (Focusrite, audient and others) are...

The gig was great. We were outside under a150 year old beech tree. The x-air was flawless all I had to do was notch out a low frequency feed back identified immediately with the built in analyzer....

Very nice feature in the StageScape. However even at the low end one band member can take a wireless tablet or workstation out front while the rest of the band sound checks and adjust levels eq for...

I would suggest David Mayfield in Warren Ohio.

Those guides are custom fabricated by Doug (as well as the tail piece cover) and embedded in the head-stock. I think the tuners are Stewart McDonald relic tuners, but the next time I see him I'll...

Plus the old one

I would maintain that Duke Ellington was making concept recordings back before any of these mentioned artists and has not even been mentioned in these discussions. A giant of the tentieth century,...

I have two an old one from the 1930's and a new one a few years back. I always get complements on the nice warm tone the Rm-1 radiates. I play most anything on it, blues, ragtime, old swing, Celtic...

5 bucks is what id pay for it

I have a KM1050, as well as a Collings MT2 and a National with gloss finish. The KM has very thin finish that is not at all durable. I have had my luthier touch up a few areas around the sound holes...

Louis Armstrong had the best quote and I subscribe to the Satchmo schools of thought.
"There are two types of music, good and bad"
