    Thanks all. Way too kind.

    Yeah, winter in WI is perfect for recording a record :) We'll see if Starr and I can work that out.

    I play in a duet, just mando and fiddle... so I can speak to this. As you've discovered, when playing in a duet, a chop doesn't cut it. I suggest to start listening to other instruments... guitar,...

    Re: New Duff

    My original orange duff (2007) has a wider nut (1 3/16th I think?) and radiused board. I've since gravitated toward thinner neck and flat board. The new one has Waverlys (which I love). The old Duff,...
