Now we know why he started wearing big hats
D'addario Pro Arte and Corelli Crystal are two that lean rich and warm and are on the lower end of the cost scale. I haven't tried them but Larsen Tzigane (sp?) are also supposed to be on the warmer...
Cool! Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea there was another Reischman either.
I think you meant 1878 but minor details. Thanks for sharing
A fiddle 😁
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like when I purchased my first mandolin back in the early 2000s that there was a lot less to choose from at all price points. Both models and inventory. So it's all...
I think you'll find that brick and mortar stores in New England don't stock the higher end Kentuckys. Three shops I've visited here in Maine carry Kentuckys but the highest up I've seen is the KM855...
That's great! Thanks for sharing!

I sold a case to Don Greiser once and I've bought a couple of fiddles and mandolins from Steve Perry over the last 20 plus years but that's about as close as I've gotten to meeting anyone from here.
I'm sure Ethan could do a good job of portraying Ira 🤣
Speaking for myself, having sold a few instruments over the years, I think it's just a way of making it "ready to go" as part of being a generous seller. We all have multiples of straps, picks, and...
Speaking as a fiddler first, and mandolinist second, 110 bpm is a perfectly reasonable tempo for fiddle tunes. I can play faster but don't care to for the most part. As RobP alluded to, the...
I know this is an old thread, but I just stumbled on it and since I've been the owner of this mandolin since I purchased it from Steve in March 2019, I thought it was worth updating for trivia...
That was a great read, thanks for sharing!
Probably Nate Lee
I know that Wayne Benson has one and likes it. I think it's featured on a couple of his youtube videos.
Sure looks like Ebony to me. Even stained rosewood is usually a little lighter shade of black and looser grained looking, for lack of a better term.
Nice work! You're a braver man than me. I only attempted my own work once. Trying to make a VSO (Violin Shaped Object) from a regular music store properly set up. That was decades ago now and I...
I agree. Medium gauge is typically the go-to reference point for mandolins. Violins as well. There's a number of affordable medium strings that should be a good reference string. 11-15-26-40 is the...
And you would not be wrong...
That certainly makes sense with the numbering. Looks like a nice find!
Funny, I was just looking at one of these on Elderly. I thought I knew the old A models but I don't think I remember the A0. What's the comparison to the other old Gibson As? It's sharp looking!...
I really like them on my (carved) oval hole. I liked them enough on the f hole ones too but they really seem to pair even better with the oval and I'm using those exclusively on that one.
