Love that Loar is playing an oval hole.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946

Re: Lloyd Loar / Fisher Shipp Archive find
That's one I've never seen. Rotate below, bit easier to view.
Re: Archive find
That same photo appears very small on Roger Siminoff's site's Loar section. I wish he had a larger version.
There are also 5 earlier promotional brochures of the Fisher Shipp Concert Company in the University of Iowa Archives.

Cool photo. And jeez, every time I see a mandobass it looks like a comedy act.

Re: Archive find
Interesting historical photo. Certainly pre-dates the "Say Cheese" era.
Re: Archive find
Appears to be the K-5, with the interesting headstock, that I believe is now owned by Grisman. That is unless there was more than one made with that headstock and it just hasn't popped up yet.

Re: Archive find
Thanks for the rotate Scott.
Interestingly, there's no story or article in the mag.
Anyone have an idea what that band's set list might include?

Re: Archive find
That's the first thing I thought. It looks bigger than the F5 to the right and it explains why he would be playing a oval hole.Originally Posted by f5joe

Re: Archive find
Well... Wagon Wheel for sure...but after that it's anybody's guess
It ain't gotta be perfect, as long as it's perfect enough!
Re: Archive find
Thanks Jim. (how'd you even find that link?)
I meant to ask about the band on the cover of BGU (Gibsonian Orch). I think Loar was soloist only with Fisher Shipp CC.

Re: Archive find
At some point he and Ms. Shipp were married.
