  1. Re: Sierra and Justin Soundcheck this afternoon

    This is, most likely, one of the best soundchecks I've ever heard.

    Thank Leland Sklar for the video. He's covering bassist duties for Lyle Lovett these days.

    Sierra and Justin were opening for...

    Re: Jeff Beck RIP

    They say you need +10,000 on the instrument hours to become proficient. Jeff had +10,000 hours in 1968.

    He is still, and always will be, one of my beacons that lead my musical journey.
  3. Re: NMD: Daniel Brauchli nylon string mandolin

    I really like Daniel's builds. He has produced a handful of polymer stringed instruments of various shapes and sizes.

    He has published a few demo videos that are very nice. He's a great player...

    Re: PW Crump Guitar Bodied Bouzouki?

    I have one. It came off the bench in April, 2005. I am the 2nd owner and the guy I bought it from told me it's the prototype for the model. I haven't bothered to verify that with Phil, although, it...
  5. Re: Chris Baird's shop burns - Arches Mandolins

    Happy New Year!

    Has anyone heard any news from Chris?

    I am a long time fan of his instruments. I still own a couple of them.

    I also have a couple of email addresses and phone numbers, none...

    Re: New Chris Thile album

    I agree. I picked it up in as much to support him and what he is doing. Yet, it has a place where I will listen to a tune from it here and there. Not beginning to end, in one sitting like I can...

    Re: New Chris Thile album

    I think it goes without saying, regardless of whether his music is appealing to you, or not; He is one of, if not the best mandolin players of this generation.

    I have followed him for years and...

    Re: Alec Finn RIP

    Kevin, thanks for this amazing history on one of my ITM heroes! I recently got hold of a bowlback trichoro and am doing my best to make heads or tails of it. They are definitely a challenge!

    Re: 3-Part Chris Thile Master Class online

    I actually felt a little embarrassed for them. It seemed the people running his live stream didn't have a lot of experience. I may be wrong. Best made plans, and all that.

    A bit of interruption...

    The itinerary that I received says the classes start at 11am and the "After Class Chat with Cocktails" starts at 12:30pm. These same times are listed for all three days.

    Re: 3-Part Chris Thile Master Class online

    I was able to get a spot in the 3-day VIP package. I guess it sold out rather quickly. Surprise, surprise! ☺️ Sounds like he could offer more events like this.

    Re: Update From The Mandolin Store

    I bought my first mandolin from Dennis back in 2003-04 timeframe and have had nothing but a great relationship with him since then.

    Then there was a great day he decided to move TMS out here to...

    Re: Live from Here is no more

    Hey! Don't I still get credit for making the call on Thile taking over PCH from Keillor!??!? :)

    While this is a huge letdown, musical evolution is neural. This won't be the last we hear from...
  14. Re: Article: The Mandolin Store Moving to Tennessee

    Got a chance to stop in last week for what will likely be my last visit to TMS-AZ.

    I played two Weber Octaves (the necks are still WAY too big on these things!), a Pono GOM, followed closely by a...
  15. Re: Tom Bedell's TED Talk on sustainable woods for instruments

    Thank you, Mr. Bedell! Wise words.

    I'm liking what I'm seeing coming from up there in the PNW. Along with a conscience in manufacturing TOH are building some nice, nice stuff; Dennis (at the...
  16. Re: Octave Mandoline - where to buy a good one in or around Germa

    A sleeper (not very well-known, internationally) in the Czech Republic is Roman Zajíček and his Rozawood instruments. I have owned two of his OM's and they are world-class. They're not cheap, but...

    Howdy!

    This is mostly to give a look-see at my lovely Arches F4. Born in 2005, I am it's second owner. It's my main player and probably will be for some time to come.

    I really, REALLY hope...

    Matsikas Zouks

    I am enjoying learning to play the Irish Zouk at the local ITM sessions.

    I have also always been a fan of Alec Finn and his style on his 3-course Zouk. The DaDannan stuff, and many of his other...

    Was #179 one of the two I had the pleasure of playing at the LT Retreat all those (20?) years ago? Do you still have both of them? Quite the pair they were!

    Re: Where are the Eastman OMs?

    Dennis & Brian have one at the Mandolin Store. I played it yesterday. It surprised me how well it was built. I figured they'd be bare bones, but this had a great feel to it. I only spent about 5...
  23. Re: Finally! Got My Hands on a Flatiron Zouk! (relocated)

    Good point. Luckily, this one has a truss rod as it needed some tweaking. The action was quite high when I got it.

    Actually, I was still a little worried after 3-4 days of adjusting the truss...

    Very nice! I'd love to see pics.
