Here's my .02. Play a tune you know with your left hand not pressing hard enough to get clear notes. You'll soon find out how little pressure it takes to get a clean note as you'll find some notes...

I went to a talk W. Eugene Smith gave in Louisville KY on his documentary photo work of the effects of industrial pollution in Japan just before he died. I had no idea of his connection to the jazz...
I've used the BlueChip CT55 for many years. Lately, it just seems like too much pick to push through the strings. I started experimenting with a bunch of thinner picks closer to 1mm in thickness.

Really fine composing and playing on these tunes, Tim. I really enjoyed the mandocello playing. Very cool album!
Man oh man. What a beautiful quartet! I hope you have some friends who can play those with you, or you can do some multitracking with you playing them. I'd love to hear them playing together.
Shaun's Heiden is the only mandolin I'd trade my Heiden for.
Reischman's Loar & Compton's Gilchrist F5 stick out in my mind as the best 2 mandolins I've played. My Heiden A5 is the best mandolin I've owned.
The shop foreman was on top of it this day. A 2003 F5G headstock.

If you don't know the obvious places: The Bluebird for songwriters, The Station Inn--legendary live music venue, Carter Vintage and Gruhn for musical instruments. Dee's Lounge also has live music....
I'd save a lot of $ and buy a Hogan F5 and get an accurate copy of a Loar F5. If I did buy one, I'd dig the name out of the headstock with a pocket knife just for their constant lawsuit threat...
I did not know Elizabeth Taylor played mandola.
Happy birthday, Mike. The secret of your youth has been revealed. ;) See you at Monroe Camp.
So sad to hear this. Condolences to the Statman family and friends.
The mandolin is gone so no reason for it to be public.
Here's what I do when I make a video to sell a mando: open strings, open chords, a slow doublestop harmonized scale on each pair of strings, a tune that uses all the strings--not played too fast, a...
Check out the headstock scroll cut in the second pic.

From the horse's mouth. ~o)
Thanks for the video comparison. The Line Audio CM4 compares very favorably to the vintage KM84. I hear just a tiny bit of difference--maybe a tiny bit thicker/richer tone of the KM84 which I would...
I got my Line Audio mics through JP Gerard at No Hype Audio. JP also builds some highly rated ribbon mics, but I've never heard or seen one in person. I have heard some mandolin tracks recorded with...
If you're looking for a SDC with a flat response like the KM84, it's hard to beat the Line Audio CM4 mics. They are a little tough to get, but very inexpensive for the quality. They don't have the...
Really great playing! Enjoyed that immensely.
The bridge is all the way down, so if the action is high, you'll need to do some sanding on the bridge to get the action right. Proceed with caution.
It's just unclear to me from the video if the overload is on the mic, or if the carbon fiber top gets overdriven on the low end. I prefer clarity to woof on the low end, and I presume you do too...
The Foxwood strings I put on Dec 17 came off last night. They weren't holding tune as well and the wound strings were a little thuddy. I have some XS strings here, so they went back on. I will...
Peter Rowan has a version of this one too. Little different lyrics here.
