Here is a Bayard 26 inch based on the 24 Loar K5, really nice tone on this
I'll admit 26 inches scares me a little

My son shares a Birthday with him, but that was not intentional on my part ( or was it?).
So happy to hear professional performers talking about Norman and playing his music at shows. He is...
Thanks for listening guys, parlor room music I suppose.
Making a solo album is a bit like climbing a mountain, after you get to the top you realize how tired you are on the way down.

Gee Frank,
now I feel like my woman done left me, my friends don't talk to me, my dog won't even let me pet him, lost my job, and spent my last handful of change on a bottle of cheap bourbon I...
I know Matt Flinner has a 24-25 inch scale octave, which is about the same as a Mandocello. I imagine tone would be good, it may be quieter than as a mandocello.
Maybe 15 years ago octave mandolins...
so cool!
I had several Freshwaters, a mandocello, an octave and a second octave.
Sadly I had to sell the mandocello (regret that) the first octave was custom ordered and a fantastic instrument so...
I don't own an Eastman 305 or 605 octave, but I have played a few and they are decent.
The Goldtone and Trinity College are generally good, but I did recently play a Trinity College and would have...
Well I took it up to the Jam and let one of the better pickers try it out, I did not get it back for 2 hours.
need to put a meter on that thing!
E E7 A
should have been written V V7 I
you must work in IT too,
how come it won't do it what I want it to do instead of what I instructed it to do?
I am already thinking of the atrocities I would commit to get my hands on that Loar

Don't kid yourself Frank, you are that cool!
As proven in this video
boy that's a lot to ask
AI is a tool nothing more (and still very much in its early stages), like automobiles it has both the potential to greatly relieve humans from monotonous tasks and help show trends and connections we...
cool
I have an early 70s Kay electric mandola, but I haven't changed the strings on it yet, I did purchase some Elixer light electric string sets, although I kind of like Ernie Ball for electric. I...
The Loar LM-400 is not a bad first mandolin, nor is a Kentucky Artist, so between the 2 its which ever you like best.
You could wait and might find the "magic one" in your travels, but having a...
I really like this groovy version from Wintergrass 2024, played at human speed!

I always go with the version off of "Baker Plays Monroe", mostly following the fiddle line.
I like the Tony Rice version from the Bluegrass Guitar Collection, I think that is Sam Bush on mandolin...
the oldest tune I play with any kind of documented date would be Puisque Belle dame m'eime ( because a beautiful lady loves me) the first known notation being in the 12 century (1170's?) Montpelier...
I am bringing my index finger to the 5th fret of the E string and then the middle finger on the 7th of the A ( so making a double stop), go back and forth between the two strings
then walk up from...
Doesn't sound bad, I think the problem with most Pac Rim that I have encountered has not been with the build, its generally the wood material and the finish, and its usually the finish that "limits"...
if you look at very early Gregorian Chant notation there is no key indication, we've come full circle in the 20th century when Arnold Schoenberg proposed the 12 tone system, there are 12 tones - do...
post mortem - I purchased a slightly used 2022 sunburst archtop, for what I thought was a steal.
after receiving and playing it, I feel more like I did steal a gem, man that thing has sweet action...
