It is not clear you understand many of their instruments are built in Marshall, Michigan, all of which has been explained in the posts on this thread. The batch of 100 Calhouns that went out awehile...

Instead of going to the upcoming NAMM Show in 2024 decided to pay a visit to Northfield and Elderly Instruments. Northfield was yesterday and was a mind blowing experience getting to play all of...

Here's a tune I wrote and recorded on mandolin, mandola, and octave mandolin. I used some of my photography from my daily walks with my border collie for the video. Thought the two things fit...

Sad news... another Bluegrass legend has passed. Not only a fantastic musician, but a hell of an intelligent, decent and funny man. I'll miss him...

I was just cruising around Tom Crandall's inventory page and found this one-of-a-kind beauty from around 1918. I don't recall seeing any mention in my old catalogs (but will take another look) and I...

It's been a while since I've posted here... just finished off this Ceccherini, I think this one will stay with me for a while. Interestingly they all seem to be numbered in the 2000 and something...

I was delighted to discover this morning that Carlo Aonzo has recently created a video where he demonstrates his approach to playing the Allemanda from Bach's D minor Partita no. 2 for solo violin.

I think we need a special app that will automatically insert Mike's info above. Hmmmm... maybe we can add it to the buttons above the post. It could be called the Mike Edgerton button. Perhaps...

My comment was not meant to admonish you or anyone else for not seeing it here first. I simply find it amusing that we produce an awful lot of news and content that eventually gets discovered outside...

Glad to see this was finally noticed. Where could a person go on the internet to learn about such music? Delightful group of musicians from our communication with them.

Butterscotch Blonde arrived yesterday.

Fit and finish is great. No issues with the frets. Translucent finish shows wood grain.

Sounds great.

Fender F610 Mini Stratocaster gig bag is nice.

I did not know that they also made Embergher copy mandolins. Here's a picture from the instruments exhibition at the Eurofestival in Bruchsal, Germany 2018.

This is another one showing a...

Modern Embergher 5bis copy by Dietrich at Bernunzio. I am unfamiliar with this German Shop.

Looks like this is the page on their website showing mandolins.

Here are pics from Bernunzio's site.

This is a repost from a few days ago - under Vintage Instruments. I am wondering if this larger forum might result in some additional information. Thanks in advance.

Yes, Grauso worked for and with Ricca before he opened his own shop on Grand. My Grauso says Napoles and New York.
He went back to Naples a few times as his business grew. "Guitar Heroes" inspired...
