"It was designed by a Guy named Guy...."
BTW, I love how Tony Rice gets tired of listening about mandolins at about 00:21....
Cool video.
You guys ever check this out speaking of old (or young?) Ricky? I would guess he was playing his Loar on it. It's from 1976.

Glad you liked the part at 1:03 Pete... that cracked me up too! You gotta try this Hester out when I see you next... I think you'll like it.
You bet!
I got tired of waiting for my band mate to hand over some of the footage from the shows I've played with the Hester so I recorded a few clips at the house. It's just the web cam on the computer......
The Sam Bush models I have played varied from not too much bigger than 1 1/8 to what I would call "Aircraft carrier" width. My F-9 has about a 1 inch nut and those are supposed to be 1 1/16. They...
I'll second that!
The Bluegrass Regulators are awesome.
one has an over-bite?
Its normal for a lot of people.
I know one fiddle player who told me it caused him problems cause his fingers got so flat from playing the mandolin that it made it harder to play the fiddle. I'm...
Oh my gosh... I had tears in my eyes!!!! :)) :))
It was hard to contain my laughter here in the office when they got to "Ode to a Butterfly":))
That video is hilarious!!! I love how Sam Bush strums big chords and looks around like he's really doing something great! Whoever did the music for that video has a good musical sense of humor. ...
I'm sorry guys... I am a wimp. No sound clip yet...
We played a show last night in honor of Bill Monroes birthday and they got the whole thing on video. We are also playing this coming weekend...
I'm sorry Fatt-dad... I just couldn't help myself! If I was smarter I'd probably know what you were talking about.....
This was the video I ws thinking of...

You could use a Turbo-Encabulator to get a better idea of what actually caused the quake. Basically, they use the crudely conceived idea that a machine could not only supply inverse reactive...
Hey guys, thanks for all the comments!
I played my first gig with the new Hester yesterday and it was awesome. It really cuts through the mix well and was a pure joy to play... it also mics...
I can't credit for those pictures... they were ones Gail sent me when the mandolin was finished. Hey, she even takes great pictures!
I've noticed over the years that the mandolins I really like are Engelmann so I suggested that Gail use it for mine. She said that Engelmann has more of a harp like tone to it versus Red Spruce and...
Engelmann spruce top, Red maple sides and back, one piece back, hide glue, varnish, Waverlys, James tailpiece, 1 3/32 nut and tung oil on the back of the neck for more of a bare wood feel without...
"We gotta have a celebration and tasting for that! "
- I know! I'm meeting the Hesters tonight to check out the neck and make any changes before she starts putting on the varnish.
I'm going...
Hey Bruce... that river is fly fishing only, at least right behind the festival grounds... which you probably already know. We hiked up the river one year for a mile or so and my son threw a...
Thanks to Adam Steffey and everyone who came to the tasting! What a treat to hear him pick on so many different mandolins!
Keep this on your radar for next year... who knows who the taster...
another heads up... 36 hours away!:mandosmiley:
When I say "they" I meant the customer didn't like the mando ...not Gibson. Anyway.... killer mando, I wonder if he still has it?
I want to get the word out in time for you all to make plans to be at our 3rd annual "Bluegrass From the Forest" mandolin tasting! May14 in Shelton, Washington... about 20 minutes outside Olympia....
