Score! I got the "Tarver" Bigsby Mandolin from Carter's Vintage Guitars. It's an incredible instrument. 151012
Thanks for all the kind words. It was fun to make. I was gonna turn it black and white or sepia, but the colors seemed to work well so I left it in color.
Thanks Miked, very much appreciated.
check out our new music video. Funeral March of a Marionette (1872) by Charles Gounod. The Vintage Mandolin Quartet is Rob Haines - mandolin, John Hedgecoth -mando-cello, William "Tiger" Fitzhugh -...
Sweet!
I love your website and incredible instruments. Where can I hear some samples?
This is not my mandolin. I'm not selling anything. It's about a new builder, Steve Smith and Redline Acoustics. This builder has a new product so that is why I picked this forum. If a Moderator of...
Steve Smith of Redline Acoustics let me borrow one of his new A-5 style mandolins. Very nice. Especially when you consider the starting price is under $2000. Check out the YouTube I made.

That Florentine mandolin that Butch had was white, but with age it might have yellowed a bit. It was for sale at Gruhn's for years. If George sold it, I don't know where it went. When Butch had it he...
Charlie Vaughn is Lester. Jimmy Capps is the announcer.
This clip has been floating around the internet for years but it sure was good to hear it again.

I recognized John Hedgecoth's voice. Called him up and played a little for him to confirm.
These photos of Charlie with the mandolin on his bench have been floating around for years.

It sounds like there are different sections to the audio. I just got off the phone with John Hedgecoth who worked at Gruhn's at the time. We agreed that it must be him doing a lot of the talking at...

My 1961 Fender mandocaster needs to have the plastic buttons on the Kluson tuners replaced. The Stu-Mac catalog has them for guitar but they are probably too big. Anyone know where I can get the...
I just finished putting together the lastest Mel Bay interview. It should go on their website next Wednesday. I thought the cafe folks would like to see it 'cause it's Mike Compton. ...
I have good news and bad. Good news is I flushed my meds down the toilet. Bad news is they took away my mandolin and video camera.....
BillHay4, my Doctor just doubled up my medications. To all, thanks for the kind words. Offer Tab?, well I guess we could. The music is really not that hard. Proving again, it's dynamics and playing...
We just finished producing this video. I have worked on it so long it's hard to be objective. What do you think?
The best mandolin players were selected to create this video of favorite mandolin...
It is the same mandolin. I could not sell it as a flag mandolin. It seemed that if a person could only afford one mandolin, they would not want it to be a flag mandolin. Too bad. So I had Marty...
Here's another clip from the CD release party at Carter Vintage Guitars. Walter is sitting in on a vintage Gibson H-4 mandola.
