    Re: RIP Frank Ford

    One of the kindest, wittiest, talented and finest humans to walk the planet, and a legend in the music community. You left people and their musical instruments better for knowing you. Rest easy Frank.
  2. Re: Convince me of the value of strict DUDU picking?

    it's nice to know about different techniques to use as desired and sounds like you're a pretty experienced picker. My take is it's art and you should enjoy it, so do what you want.

    Great photo. Saw that earlier when Molly was nominated. That side of Gryphon is largely the same as when the photo was taken, other side too except for some rearranging of things. Didn't see Richard...

    Re: Rubner and Kimble

    Good deal, looks great. If mine hadn't come with Waverlys I'd probably do the same. I have Rubners on a mando and they're excellent as well.

    Re: What strings have you tried on your Kimble?

    I don't experiment much with strings. I used J74's on my mandolins for years, then got a free set of Straight Up Strings, and have used them ever since. Like them a lot.

    I'm sure someone who knows will chime in. Does have the Givens vibe, even down to the tailpiece.
