    On the other coast, here in Vermont, Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots is heading into its 4th year in August and is growing each year.

    Watchhouse and a host of the side projects related to the b...
  2. New Mandolin Day: Muleskinner Instruments A5 (Birdseye/Spruce)

    Taking a moment away from playing this beauty (while I sit on mute on a work teleconference call) to post.

    Andy has truly outdone himself with this one.

    Birdseye Maple neck, back and sides that...
  3. Re: New original instrumental tune out today "Man in a Balloon"

    Thank you Ranald. We are lucky to be in a (still) fairly rural area here in Corinth. Still lots of cattle, but the possibility of a housing development or those cows slowly disappearing is a real...

    More progress. Andy absolutely nailed the finish color I had in my head. Can't wait to see her buffed out.

    Rounding the final corners of this instrument build and I couldn't be happier and more pleased with Andy's work (again)....

    Andy has a beautiful batch of A-styles being built alongside my A-5. One with a back and sides from the same batch of walnut as my octave mandolin....

    And, while its obviously hard to tell in a video. In person is of course much better...he has loads of video content on his Youtube channel of previous instruments:

  13. Re: A New Mulerskinner Instruments A5 build starts...

    Kind of all over the map...really depends what your preference is. He is really willing to work with you to get you the instrument you want. Andy is a fairly tall fella and has larger hands. So the...
  14. Re: A New Mulerskinner Instruments A5 build starts...

    Keep saving, its well worth it! As someone who has played most of the mandolins to come off of Andy's bench, they are well worth the price for a beautiful, US made, handcrafted instrument from a...

    Andy sent me over a good morning Mule earlier. Neck is taking shape!

    A small update from Andy at the Muleskinner shop.

    One of the sets on the left side of Birdseye will be the side of my A-style mandolin. Andy is also building an A-style in this batch for...
  19. Re: A New Mulerskinner Instruments A5 build starts...

    Ahhh, I remember seeing your H-12 in his shop. He has built me a beautiful "slightly smaller" dread style as well (photos below) and the walnut back in the thread above is the guitar bodied octave...
  20. Re: A New Mulerskinner Instruments A5 build starts...

    Well, Mr. Muleskinner moves quick and just sent me an update. He milled down that board and was able to get a back, sides and neck for my instrument and another back and sides set for another...
  21. Re: A New Mulerskinner Instruments A5 build starts...

    Yes, Andy really makes wonderful choices for tonewood (both from a visual and auditory standpoint).

    Some of my favorites are the back for my octave mandolin and this sycamore mando (I think he had...
  22. A New Mulerskinner Instruments A5 build starts...

    So, I've been bit by the bug again, been too long without an A-style mandolin and Andy at Muleskinner Instruments will be building me a new A5. We met over the weekend at his shop and selected...

    Contemporary Pumpkin Tops?

    Hey all, so I somehow (and very luckily) find myself in the midst of a custom build…well perhaps at the very beginning stages. I head to a luthier friend’s shop next week to pick my tone wood pieces...
