I love that
Well that was the spirit and history of Ella as I understand the history. John Sullivan used to lend Ella out to folks while they were waiting for their new builds, for repairs to be completed or...
Danny’s nugget went back to Danny. Ella never felt like my mando. I agree it had something special but they all do. The Loar has it all.
Stunningly beautiful!
Sometime loud is better, but only sometime. The way I see it, whether you are chopping, comping, strumming, or any other form of accompaniment, the point is to support and not bury the soloist. Ever...
For what it is worth, I bought it in very used condition from a reputable instrument dealer that surely would be aware of all things cosmetic and legal. He has a little shop in Nashville called...
Registration was cut off when 1,000 unique individuals had applied. There was never a statement that we're aware of that you were guaranteed to receive free strings as a part of the application...
They even added another 200 slots due to the shipping delays. Very generous indeed but I am amazed at the level of grousing about not being selected. Nobody was promised anything.

The reason "there are so many mics" is that it's a mature technology. Mics evolved rapidly in the period since World War 2 into a few niche categories like instrument mics, vocal mics, and a few...
Mine is stock. The standard transformer seems absolutely fine to me, though I have not compared them side-by-side.
$49 was Monday pm. At 2:30pm Tuesday, it's down to $29!
I'm completely aware of all the things that took place on here regarding his business practice.
I have no experience with Jamie, and I'm not gonna judge him.
All I know is from what I've seen, he...
Here are a couple of tips that I've found useful over the years . . .
Before you walk into the studio:
Make sure your band has a solid sense of the tempo for each song and that you know what...
I'm nearly overwhelmed with grief upon the passing today of Dan Hicks. He was (I hate having to use that word) one of my biggest musical influences. He was the guy who made me want to be a musician,...
Most likely that is an overnight air shipping price so that it does not spend half a week in unheated winter shipping warehouse.
John Sullivan was a friend, mentor, and neighbor of mine who lived...
I have never had a set of mandolin tuners weigh anything close to 200 grams. I just weighed a new set of Grover 309N (N is for nickel finish) tuners. Mass of the tuners alone was 148.7 grams. Even...
Looks like that is the shelf/shipping weight of the product + packaging.
I agree that a few chords up and down the neck would have helped us get a more rounded idea of the overall sound of the instrument, but I respectfully disagree that the talking was surplus to...
It's a Newsom. I asked him about it at the Monroe Camp...says he really likes it.
Also in the video on mandolin is Casey Campbell, David Davis, and Mark Royal.
11 to 6 Friday and Saturday is what I have.

Thanks.

Just to put everything into perspective there is a reason I asked if he was the original purchaser. Honestly mandolin people don't always do well trying to get warranty work done through normal...
I would disagree. Certainly no harm was meant, and the comment is in essence a positive recognition of quality across diverse populations.
There is such a thing as microaggressive Political...
Wow Dave. You're absolutely right. What you're hearing is a rather large Gilchrist "The Mandola" (so inscribed in its' headstock) which I've owned since its' birth. It's large enough to tune an...
