Thanks for all the nice comments--it's definitely a lifetime instrument. Great to see you guys--Andy and Bill--at Monroe Camp. Your Buckeye and Randy Wood mandos sound exceptionally fine too! The...

Can anyone identify...

I thought this was great, I have to admit I thought the tone on the 24 was more to my liking then the 23, not that the difference was huge. Surprisingly I was really drawn to the tone of that L4...

With the recent release of the recordings of Butch Baldassari playing Monroe tunes with the orchestra, I thought we should have a thread where people could post some of Butch's great tunes. Or you...
