I have big respect and admiration for you Joe, and much of what you said is probably true, but I have to disagree on one sonic aspect of CF mandolins - sustain. My Mix A has sustain that goes on and...

So sorry to hear this. Saw her in the 80s and 90s. What a good soul and singer songwriter. She left this world too soon.
Yeah, Lee (man_dough_nollig) was an interesting character here on the Cafe. Like journeybear, I was also one of his Cafe friends. He lived in the Rockies and worked a few stints in Antarctica (with...
Case in point, er rather point in case...
Thanks, that was a treat! Love the tune. Some nice close up shots too of Andrew and Dom picking those fine mandos.
That’s an impressive miniature parlor. My wife is also into miniatures. Here’s an Irish cottage interior she created (with mandolin content).

Mary, since you’re talking voicing, could you compare/contrast the Ellis to your Heiden?
Well that’s no fun Dem. Watching your journey has become a spectator sport for some of us.
Dave,
I went on a southwest Ireland music tour with Inishfree last year and had a fabulous time. We toured quaint villages and countryside by day and caught intimate ITM in the pubs every evening....
Thought I’d bump this threading give a shout out to Josh Pinkham and his amazing mandolin chops. I saw them for the third time since the release of “Whorls.” They had the full 5 piece band last...
Ditto. Aoife nailed it, and in her own style... I don’t usually sit through the entire show, but I did tonight. Excellent.
Mandolin would be a better fit. Whether you choose a flat top or an arch top octave mandolin, it’s voicing is similar to guitar and would be lost in the mix. You might want to consider a resonator...
I like the leisurely pace. It reminds me of listening to Detroit baseball announcer Ernie Harwell calling the play by play in his relaxed southern drawl during my youth. Almost like a mantra that...
Different strokes... I really enjoyed the jazz documentary.
If you haven’t played one multidon, I recommend trying one first. I waited for months for an Eastman octave but ended up returning it after being disappointed.
We only know that he’s left the barn.
A great feature of PHN is the option to change courses/instructors at any time during your subscription term. I’ve taken lessons from Joe K Walsh, Sharon Gilchrist, John Reischman, and Marla Fibish,...
One thing to consider if there is more than one guitar at a session, the OM occupies a similar niche sonically, so it may be overkill. On the other hand, you can add color if you play counter melody,...

Heiden and a couple Poe’s. Keep ‘em coming... One of my all time favorite threads.
And coming up on two million views! It’s been a fun one. Thanks for kicking it off Darryl.
I saw them two nights ago in Louisville. The Loar sounded wonderful. These guys are at the top of their game. What a treat!

I’ll add Oliver Apitius and Michael Heiden to the list of fine Canadian mandolin luthiers (albeit, high end).
Thanks Dem. Thile is always a gas, but I love me some Jeremy Kittel on fiddle. I’ve seen him live a couple times. Great performer.
Ditto what foldedpath said, especially the point about capturing the right rhythm pulse.
Ditto. A great way to start out the weekend and well worth the rental price.
