I think I'll learn and master this tune after work today. :grin:
I've been saying that ever since I saw them do an impromptu set at Grey Fox a few years back. They can both certainly pick and their voices harmonize beautifully.
Twenty years ago I had two- the tops of both sank. :(
And they're made in America. :)
Correct.
And Della Mae no longer has a mandolin player at all due to the expense of having a 5th member. That's really too bad as they were always a great band with a mandolin player. They're still great,...
John Reischman's Loar. I was so nervous that it felt like 100 lbs in my lap; my fingers were so shaky that my "playing" turned out to be a pathetic scratchy Arkansas Traveler. The Loar was the...
Kinda cool actually!
Although I am by NO means a mandolin expert and have never owned a Gibson (just instruments that from companies taht Gibson bought and subsequently buried), I've read enough to come to my own...
"... a new F-9 costs $5299" and "From my experience these [F-9s] can be all over the map both in quality of build and tone. Failed ones occur from time to time here on MC."
Are you kidding me? A...
Ugh. I'm really sorry to hear that your f-9 is experiencing grief. Not cool, esp. reading that the F-9 gets a subpar build! How much do these cost?! Too much, no, way too much, for this to be...
GREAT SONG!!

Drat, the Loar Lloyd I just bought isn't mislabeled?!!! :)
Keep playing the ever living heck out of it and if you believe the folklore, resting it against the front of a speaker with Black Sabbath set to 11 for a day or two may help as well.
The Kentucky 272 is a pumpkin. Looks good enough to eat actually.
I like it but then again I've always liked a black-faced mandolin (are we allowed to say this?) and even had a nice black Flatiron A once upon a time. Good on Eastman for trying something different.
Tough! I like the lot and really like a few a few. Here's my order: 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 5 > 6 though I'm almost positive that I'd reorder upon a second listen. My guess is the no. 1 is either the LL or...
How are you liking it?!
He can't make bad music! Can't wait.
Thanks for your good humor and thoughts everyone. Rest assured that Bucky isn't going anywhere though I am considering having the neck scooped so I can hit the stings where and how I want to, not...
After putting MAS to sleep for a long while I read this review of the Kentucky 272 written by MC member MikeZito back in 2017. If you're not familiar with this model it's an amber colored oval hole...
All work and no play makes Weber a dull boy.
White oak would be good for me!
Knowledgeable people,
I've got what purports to be a nearly perfect SS Steward/Martin arriving in a few days. As you can imagine, I'm excited as I've put MAS off for nearly a decade. The only...
