I can't make it down for this one, but have been to a couple of the Tuckfest shows at the Whitewater center. It is a beautiful venue to see a show. The manmade river used for whitewater training runs...

Matt's classes are awesome too, have done quite a few of them myself. No reason you can't do both (and add Peghead Nation too while you are it) other than time and money :)
They all have their pros...
I've been in both Mike and Sierra's classes for a while now, love them both for different reasons.
I think they are equally good and responding to videos at the appropriate level of each student....
yes! I've got one of the Northfield versions and one directly from Harrison. Wonderful straps!
Mike had mentioned on ArtistWorks somewhat recently there was a reprint in progress but they had run into some printing issues, so hopefully soon.
Over the years of realizing that I am not the next amazing mandolin prodigy and that playing music will always be a side hobby for me rather than a career, I have come to realize that it is not the...
I didn't have the chance to meet Dewey, but some friends got to play with him and told me about this mandolin. None of them knew who wound up with it though, so it's interesting to see the rest of...
I believe Mike Marshall has stated he has two, one in Germany and one in California
Awesome that you got to go in person Sue! I caught the live stream from 2/6 on the Berklee Vimeo and last I heard it was still available here https://vimeo.com/910061358
Brooke is a wonderful singer and I know she plays some rhythm guitar, but there are several videos of her chopping mandolin like that from other settings. I know Darin can play mandolin but I am...
I knew that comment was coming as soon as I saw the title...:))
I would put it under the genre of dang good acoustic music that will not get nearly the amount of attention it deserves. But, that may be a bit too long for their character limit. I'd guess serious...
To pile on, Strings and Beyond has let me know that the 11.5-41 heavy gauge Nickel Bronze is now also discontinued. I bought their last 2 sets.
I have a few sets of each to get me by until I can...
I think my last post or two made it clear, but I will say again for the record in case it didn't, that I found in my case the Waverly tuners were fine when not installed.
It looks like the screw...
Matt plays banjo on Joe's latest record, very well I think! Tasteful certainly.
Two of my favorite players and teachers!
I did notice that the screw holes on the original set I have are slightly off from the center of the round engravings design.
On the new set, they are centered. That makes the mandolin's screw holes...
Thanks John.
I put the old set back on and the screw holes line up much better with those than the new set. I think I may just stick with those since I seem to have proven at this point it isn't the...
Update: I received the replacement Waverly tuners today.
Took off the old ones and they turn great....uh oh.
Installed the new ones and they are as bad or worse than the ones I took off.
I can...
I run an Aircare 1045 "whole house" humidifier. Here in NC it can keep the house at 40-50% humidity, usually running on level 1 of 4. I refill it at twice a day when the heat is running a good bit....
WOW. Pretty outlandish (and anonymous) statement for your first post.
Very nice! That record specifically was a huge influence on me in my earliest days of playing mandolin. Well done.
What a wild ride reading this thread was. Everything from Bill's reputation on and off stage, to AI, to is Wagon Wheel Bluegrass, to Earl Scruggs' banjo technique. :disbelief:
Revisiting this conversation, I had also begun noticing that the same E tuner that was the tightest would have a very loose slop of about a 1/8 of a turn when you backed it off from pitch. The button...
The last two mandolins I sold were through Kevin at Mando Mutt. Being a little over 2 hours down the road, he met me about halfway to pick them up. We picked a starting price and communicated if we...
I've never heard of a "Gilchirst" either
