I gave them a shot on my MF5 and absolutely love them. Very balanced sound and feel great under my fingers. They still sound fresh with about 30 hours of use. I just ordered a few more sets and added...
Set the alarm clock for 6am to get up and watch it uninterrupted this morning. It was fantastic, really enjoyed it. Rented it on Amazon but would certainly buy a “hard” DVD copy for myself and a...
Congrats. That looks fantastic. I saw two new Girouard instruments this week at The Music Emporium and they looked/sounded awesome too.
FWIW - I purchased a Veillette from The Music Zoo and they were great to deal with. Pretty sure they have a brick and mortar location and deal primarily in guitars. NFI on this end, but I would...
Agree they are something special. I'm on Joe's waiting list and maybe 5-6 months away now. I'm looking at a Due (two point). Very excited.
Great suggestion!
I've been very happy to read about your positive progress! As a fellow carpal tunnel surgery (both hands) veteran, I'm aware it's a great leap to have the surgical phase behind you and focus on...
Completely agree with the usefulness of the outside pocket and extra insulation properties. Also, having backpack straps on my case cover is another plus for my frequent plane travel. It’s definitely...
Check out Sportsmen's Tavern while in town... local venue for quality live music.

Agree Bernuzio' is the closest for an assortment of instruments.
For wings try...
Hi All:
I don't belong to any banjo forums and felt like I needed to share this incredible instrument with like minded people. Several years ago I was able to get on Jason Romero's wait list and...
Best of luck with a great recovery process. Great idea to practice tremolo. I found this lesson to be helpful especially for using a metronome effectively for trem practice. Chris

Cindy, based on your Boston location if your referring to the well know acoustic store in our area, my experience has always been outstanding when playing anything I’d like to demo. I’m far from an...
Ethan, yes I’ve used a viola case cove from Morodian. It works pretty well but takes a little elbow grease to zip it around a Calton from TX. I did just get a new Hoffee case and ordered the...
Both the instruments in this thread are just gorgeous. Those in the Northeast are lucky enough to call the Girouard's "locals". If you've ever had the good fortune to communicate with Max and/or...
NFI - totally agree that a used MT2 is a great investment if you can be happy with an A-Style! The one referenced is tempting and shouldn’t last long. That Stiver mentioned looks incredible too.
Love playing that song on clawhammer banjo. Easy but powerful.
Great version Mark! Thanks for posting this.
A couple things you may find with Kimble ... I suspect fingerboards will all be flat, not radiused. At least every one I've seen has been flat, including my A5. You may only be able to find a Kimble...
That’s a great story and nope... you’re not the only one. I take my mandolin on business trips and family vacations LOL. Congrats on the successful gig this morning, that’s inspiring for those of us...
Between $5500-6000.

Thile said Radiohead at MSG. Noam, Critter and Gabe said Vasen (that was a new one for me) who has an excellent Tiny Desk concert. And Paul mentioned a fiddler/violinist whose name...
Good one! I saw them at House of Blues which sits behind Fenway Park in Boston. Noam said “is it fair to say we almost sold out Fenway Park?” Or something like that...baseball is a great topic for...
I went to the vip segment in Boston before the show a couple weeks back. Someone mentioned only about six questions will be taken which is consistent with my experience. Expect about 50 folks in...
Congrats, that's just spectacular looking. I bet it has tone to match its great looks. Enjoy it for many years.
I’ve played the Avante as well as the USA built Gryphon at TME. They are a lot of fun and agree they feel a lot like a 12 string guitar as opposed to a mandolin. The Korean made instrument is quite...
