  1. Re: Are you ready for a new Carbon/Kevlar Sorensen mandolin?

    I have big respect and admiration for you Joe, and much of what you said is probably true, but I have to disagree on one sonic aspect of CF mandolins - sustain. My Mix A has sustain that goes on and...

    Re: RIP Nanci Griffith

    So sorry to hear this. Saw her in the 80s and 90s. What a good soul and singer songwriter. She left this world too soon.

    Re: Guitar Body Octave Mandolin for Irish?

    I play a traditional flat top oval in an ITM session, and I also want a GBOM. I’ve played several of the f-hole Northfield GBOMs, and they don’t have the rounder sound and big sustain that I think is...

    There’s no information about the length of each event, nor explanation (beyond the title) about the content. :(
  9. Re: Carbon Fiber Builder wants our input on a Carbon Fiber Mandol

    I’m interested in an A-style CF mandolin with f-holes and a medium neck profile. It seems that an arched top & back wouldn’t cost any more than flat once a mold is created.

    Superb idea and a great read! Nice to gain insight on how our musician friends are coping and spending their time in isolation. Thanks Scott. Looking forward to the next one.

    Well, it’s certainly about as far as one can get from social distancing. Perhaps we’ll get there again...in 2021.

    Agreed, and I support this statement by having the opposite experience as yankees1. I bought a Heiden A5 a year ago and have been so smitten with the balance, tone, looks, and playability, that I've...

    That’s an impressive miniature parlor. My wife is also into miniatures. Here’s an Irish cottage interior she created (with mandolin content).

    Mary, since you’re talking voicing, could you compare/contrast the Ellis to your Heiden?

    Too dry Mary? I never heard that before. I would not describe my Ellis and the half dozen others I’ve played as dry. Interesting. Maybe in a relative sense...Enjoy it.
