Concur Barry - but not just any doubleneck - a great playing, great sounding and great looking double neck!

This guy shows off his upgraded instrument and what he had to do to bring it to playability was pretty extensive - but generally speaking, the results...
Condolences Dawg -
My folks are from Passaic (Bresslour's Men's Clothing Store)....
Losing this deep a connection to your incredibly musical life can't be easy.

The neck on my Mix F is very comfortable and easy to get around on.
The back is lively as noted by John Flynn.
Lack of Truss Rod not an issue.
Still - my only quibble is non-radiused fret...

In my un-edumacated opinion this might be because the wood in these instruments is 90+ years old - not...
I've played several.
On occasion I play bass for a pal of mine: Bob Blanchard (a fantastic mando picker and first chair bassist in the Oakland, CA Symphony Orchestra.)
It also brings a smile to...

I actually thought that in many ways the performance was great - not $75 great, but very entertaining with tons of good songs:

Here's a vid I capped of the great Traditional Tune, "Cold Jordan," from the show.

Saw them on Saturday at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.
It was a combination of Gospel Oriented BLuegrass and Classic Bluegrass and it was all good (and FREE!)
I live in San Francisco and for the most part play bluegrass, swing jazz and blues mandolin. I've been a member here and CoMando for probably more than 10 years.
Today I stumbled upon this...
I played that Juicy Watermelon Mandolin from Bill Bussman (presuming Trevor's is the very same one - but perhaps not?) and it was a total HOSS. Incredibly fun to play and sounded great.
