Scott & Brad -- Thanks so much for getting the word out! We'll be a few blocks from Jalopy Theater, home of the Brooklyn Folk Festival (http://jalopytheatre.org/), as well. There's also a neat music...

Hi John, thanks for stopping by our shop! Sounds like you had good time in NYC.

Yes thanks for catching that! Eric is the one in the striped shirt playing the F10 and Dom is playing the Loar F5.

Eric Robertson of The Boston Boys is playing the Loar and Dominick Leslie from The Deadly Gentlemen is playing the F-10. Both very talented young mandolinists! We should have at least one other...

Sorry for the delay but we finally got some decent players to demo the loar f-5 and f-10 for us! Let me know what you think.

Heres a sound clip of our alrite, they should have a pretty similar tone.

Wow thanks so much for the great writeup, so glad you enjoyed the shop, Scott! I did warn you about the "hidden" entrance :) Sorry I wasn't in the day you came to visit but I hope you can come back...

Just for reference, here is a picture of the fingerboard on the F-10. 109572

Not exactly a lute made during the Renaissance but one built by Herman Hauser (who also made guitars for Andrés Segovia). You can check it out here...

Just have to warn you guys, I'm not the best mandolin player!...

Yes the f5 and 10 sound quite different, I'll try to get them together in the same clip. This should be interesting!



Thanks and yes we do mandolin repairs and setups right here in our shop.

I will record the demo for you- I'll message you when we have it up. Thanks!



Hello Dave.



I'm glad you mentioned that because we may be having someone very special to demo the f5. Maybe...

It is an adventure getting here! I get a kick out of seeing people's reactions the first time they walk in. Thanks for the endorsement and I'm glad you're enjoying the t-shirt. Come by again...

Thanks Nick! We've been long time lurkers but its about time we joined in on the conversation. And I'm glad you like the photos, we do them all in house.



Thanks for the warm welcome, I hope...
