Nicely done!
That was wonderful!
Ugh.. I missed out. I need to log into Artistworks more frequently!
Good job everyone - that was GREAT!
Heady, nothing will slow down your mando adventures more than a bad instrument that has a bad setup and is difficult to play.
After investing in a good instrument, it’s great to realize “Well, the...
The soundboard looks like it has clip art on it, while the back looks like it was taken from your kid sister’s notebook. To have a chance to succeed, the art would have to be well executed and look...
Congratulations on your new mandolin purchase! And if you’re in Atlanta, Marty Jacobson is someone you need to know. He’s a local mandolin luthier here, does great work at reasonable rates... He...
Errr... no. Or at least not at that price point.
I’m sure there’s a market for it... but I’m not sure where that market is.
Mando practice is still on schedule on weekday mornings (with work from home afterwards) but with spring time in Atlanta, it’s all about the garden.
The wife and I finally got everything weeded,...
..and it will be stretched out since U.S. tax filing day has been moved out to July 15rh.
That mandolin looks fantastic - Modern styling but not completely detached from tradition. Love the sloped shoulders and cutaway.
Your family member mentioned making it 1/4” wider and longer.......
My El Rey arrived last week. I can’t claim any real talent with it, but it has me grinning like a fool just with the experimentation.
Decidedly not bluegrass, but with a couple of tweaks on the...
Thanks for ullein pipes player vid... I admire his.. is it stubbornness, or just blind optimism?
I haven’t laughed like that in a while. I think I just peed a little. :))
Three years later, I stumbled into this. Cool project! With so many voices, they blend together in spots and almost sound like an old-school Moog synthesizer.
+1 for Curt Mangan monel strings. They sound fantastic on my Weber Scarlet River...better than the D’Addario phosphorus I had been using. Not sure about the loudness, but the monel add an extra...
I have always loved the sound from this double strung mandocello... but I’m leery of the long 26” - 27” scale length. I never played guitar, just went straight to mando.
But the low rich sound from...
When I got Scarlett she came to me already named... and I saw no reason to change that.
I also suspect that many of the Weber mandolins done in 'Scarlet Fire' wind up with some variant of 'Scarlet'...
Sure! Love the one with the tortoiseshell guard.
First time with using pictures w/Cafe, trying again....
Spencer - I plan on coming back to Marietta Square for more jams.... but this time with a strap and a chair!
Playing my Flatiron with no strap - and on one leg - makes for a great story, but not...
Sheperd - did you ever find a good case for your jethro?
I'm in the same situation, and so far the points on my A5 prevent me from using most A-style cases...
K'hat
Wow! I didn't know these things had such a following, much less risen in value like that.
I bought my Flatiron 2MC from GC back in '96? for $275 ish. Looks like its a post-Gibson,...
I’m having trouble merging the “we have rules and some instruments don’t belong in BG” Bill Monroe with the first time I heard “Kentucky Waltz”... played by Bill and his band.... with a Hammond...
On the first pic? The right side mando just has a bad photoshop job. The 2nd and 3rd pictures on the site are better representations of the scroll.
Hmm... fingerboard is rosewood, but rest is made of basswood? Isn't that just one step above balsa wood?
It may play beautifully, but won't take any knocks or dings well. But at that price,...
Sooo.. he took two mandolins and made .. an electric mandola, but with a mandolin scale? Could be better for getting to the fun part w/o having to retrain your fingers to a longer scale length. ...
