    Northfield or Hercules Stand

    Going to pick up either the Northfield or Hercules stand for my mando. Curious how they compare in terms of stability?

    Just got one of these. Definitely recommend; really nicely made and very comfortable.

    Re: Nashville Today

    The Bibey probably wasn't in the high end room...it's $6k, a 2004. Looks cool. The Duff Scout is a one-off with F5G type appointments (top binding only).

    Re: Nashville Today

    Did you happen to play the Gibson Alan Bibey and the Duff Scout? Been eyeing those.

    Re: Chris Baird's shop burns - Arches Mandolins

    I bought a great A-style from Chris a few years ago. Awesome instrument, and Chris is just a really nice guy. So sorry to hear about this.

    F5L, Goldrush, F5G Construction

    Leaving aside variations among individual instruments, are the F5L, Goldfish, and F5G constructed the same (voicing, woods, finish, etc.), and are the differences only cosmetic?

    That is, do they...
  7. Re: Northfield, Passernig, Pava...Input Needed

    Goose, did you also happen to play the Gibson F5G? If so, what did you think?
  8. Re: Northfield, Passernig, Pava...Input Needed

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I agree that the Passernig seems to have some more depth and overtones, but I need to ask Ben how long each one has been in the shop. If the Northfield happens to...
  9. Re: Northfield, Passernig, Pava...Input Needed

    Ben at Fiddler's Green was very nice to make a short comparison clip with the Passernig and the Northfield. Hard to draw as firm a conclusion as I could in person, but instructive, nonetheless.

  10. Re: Northfield, Passernig, Pava...Input Needed

    Nuts, it's been so long since I've been here, I forgot to update. I sold the Altman some time ago when I started playing fiddle. Starting back in with a smaller budget.
  11. Northfield, Passernig, Pava...Input Needed

    I'm getting back into playing some mandolin after a good while hacking through the fiddle wilderness. I'm going to get a new mando, and have narrowed it down to a Northfield F5S, a Pava A-5 Player,...

    Re: John Reischman CD

    They're all good, but Up in the Woods is, for me, a true desert island record.
  13. Re: Thanks for the Vern's Stage Concert (Grass Valley)!!!!

    I second Kate's message. Amazing show. Alice Gerrard was incredible (and a revelation for me, as I hadn't listened to her before). Took my breath away.

    And, for mando content, Mike Compton...

    Re: Mandolin gig bag

    I have a great-looking tan/black two-tone leather F5 bag that was custom made for me by Glenn Cronkhite recently. Very well-made and attractive. I might be interested in selling it, as I'm just not...

    Jethro Recommendations, Please...

    Re: Pegasus case,,how good are they?

    Awesome case, and Sam is a great guy. You can get just about any color in the spectrum. To me, much more comfortable and streamlined to carry than a Calton, far better looking, and comparable...

    Glassweb, any discussion about price-point? Also, I'd vote shaped case ala Pegasus.

    Re: Upgrade From Collings MT?

    Totally understand your desire for an F. I had an MT2 which was more mando than I needed, but still eventually had to have an F. That said, the MT is a fine instrument. I actually seem to prefer...

    Works fine with my F5. Tight to push down at first, but the foam eventually grooves in.
