  1. Re: Mike Marshall & Darol Anger show on 2/9/24

    Awesome that you got to go in person Sue! I caught the live stream from 2/6 on the Berklee Vimeo and last I heard it was still available here https://vimeo.com/910061358
  2. Re: Is "Mr Sun Plays Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite" bluegrass

    I would put it under the genre of dang good acoustic music that will not get nearly the amount of attention it deserves. But, that may be a bit too long for their character limit. I'd guess serious...
  3. Re: Should I visit Eastman factory and buy a mando in China?

    WOW. Pretty outlandish (and anonymous) statement for your first post.

    Re: Consignment Advice

    The last two mandolins I sold were through Kevin at Mando Mutt. Being a little over 2 hours down the road, he met me about halfway to pick them up. We picked a starting price and communicated if we...

  8. Re: $4k (or hopefully less) Bluegrass Mandolin Search

    In that price range the Northfield F5S is pretty hard to beat. It sounds like you'd want to be sure to get the Red Spruce version rather than Engelmann top though to have enough contrast with your M...

    Re: Modding a Northfield F5S

    I definitely second swapping out the tailpiece to their Gilchrist style version. It makes changing the strings sooooooooooo much easier.
    I actually did that on the F5S I bought right away as I...
  10. Daddario NBM11540 Nickel Bronze also discontinued

    It appears my favorite strings have also been discontinued, D'addario NBM11540 Nickel Bronze. This is the 11.5/16/26/40 set.
    I contacted my favorite strings source (Strings and Beyond) and they...

    Re: Ronnie McCoury on Eastman?

    I think it's possible to endorse things that you don't personally use. Ronnie may very well think Eastmans are excellent beginner to intermediate level mandolins and recommend them to folks (no idea...

    Sweating on the back

    Re: Strap problem

    One thing I like about the added weight of a Tone Gard and arm rest is that it helps that balance point some. I do still use some pressure on my right forearm at the arm rest to help keep it stable...

  19. Ook'n'm (Marshall, Rice, Anger, Phillips) live release

    Mike Marshall just made this live recording available to purchase on Bandcamp from a concert in 2001. Everyone sounds really great here and it's a killer setlist of New Acoustic tunes....
  20. Re: Anyone Never Get Past the 'Speed Plateau'?

    Don't try to go from 110 to 120. Go from 110 to 111, then to 112 etc. Get super comfortable before moving up.

    Also look for particular problem areas. You can likely play 3/4 of the tune at 120 but...

    I am a bluegrass/Dawg guy with a little bit of Jazz thrown in. Definitely go for that Grisman smooth tremolo.
    I'm most often using a Mike Marshall Apollo pick on my Northfield 4th Gen (F style).

    Re: Frank Solivan and ToneSlabs picks

    That's so fascinating to me David, because I am absolutely the opposite. I need that thick round pick to get any kind of decent tremolo!
