Jim - you took the words right out of my mouth...where in SE VA do you live? i have family up that way...glouchester
the topic of that book came up a couple months ago on umgf. the cheaper priced ones were swiftly taken...as a CW fan it's a worthwhile read. check abe.
i think it's a derivative of "doodle" which is a way of occupying time when nothing serious can be accomplished, such as stuck in a boring lecture. i can see how someone might think it started with...
i played one, if that counts to you. a F-5 varnish. very nice, excellent tone, playability. i sold when the prices took the big jump to finance MAS, or GAS but as always the grass is greener....it...
i have never played a loar though i've been up close, a few feet away. Tony Williamson, Alan Bibey..great sounding mandolins. but i think one of the best mando's i recall was Charlie D's Master...
not usually as much mando content as current issue but is sure a step up from the usual guitar mag. has a nice balance of instrument vs player discussion, minimal ads.
if i were buying new I'd get radiused but flat is not limiting to me. i think most vintage are flat. i have each and don't have problem going from one to another.
it's a good place to put your strap. i think the F-mando has survived because the design, being a bit archaic, harkens back to the roots of the music. and the scale (size) is reasonable but don't...
i think you are right barney.
I was there last week. abundant Strads. etc. Got me to wondering about the Loar. did an on-line search using "Loar" as keyword no results. anyone know if there is a Loar in the NMAH?
i don't mean to imply that the Loar is not still the most desired instrument by the best pickers, that seems to be obvious. just that it's not completely immune to the financial realities of the day.
yes it was John R. i think i recall him saying his brother made it. or maybe it was cousin. good little mando. at least when he played it.
Mandopete. i saw Alan B at Randy Woods place. he was...
Over the years I've been visiting the MC i've noticed that "the tone" seems to be the perenial question. With festival season on the way I wanted to mention that its presents a great opportunity to...
i really like my Daley A-5, a friend who's alot better muscian than I love's his MT, but one of the best I've ever heard was Charley D's MM. which brings me to my point. which i'll put in a new...
i've played a couple very decent sounding MM's in a local shop. i think it has alot to do with the setup. find one with a good setup and you'll be fine. not sure there's alot of difference otherwise....
i keep in my file drawer some old printouts of instrument prices. unfortunately for many of us from about 2002 until the last quarter of 2008 instrument prices were on a ridiculous and frantic climb....
i have schallers on my oldie and they work great. and are same size as originals. if you change out do not sell or trade the originals as it will diminish the value of the instrument.
Charles Johnson at Mandolin World has several and knows the market I would say.
i have a Sim Daley A. it's his number 15 instrument and i think the second A he made. i was offered his first A, waffled and missed it. I am very happy with mine and it's all the mando I need. I can...
Jimmy Martin's mando player used an F-4. I doubt the vast majority of listener's would know unless they were told. I think the same is true of F-5's. there's a true story in the violin world about...
i remember the mando tasting sound clips that used to be posted. (still are?) 20 mandos, one tune, one player. no one could tell what was being played. just preferences. i think mando's are like art,...
Dear TED/moderator, i do not have an instrument for sale in the classifieds nor do i intend to sell my aforementioned '24 Gibson A model. the 25k figure was in jest, as most assumend. although..

my great GF came over with his family. most went to canada. he followed a girl he met in NY vacationing with her parents back to FLA and the rest is my history. i'm thinking of going over this summer...
since joining the forum i've seen ralph rinzler and marty stuarts Loars for sale here. both were less than 50k if my recollection is correct. imho the instrument market was overheated and regardless...
