Re: My wonderful experience at Carter's Vintage
While in Nashville for Mando Camp, we all went to Carter's to sample the goods and hear the instructor's concerts. Awesome place and great folks. My friend Robin and I went into the high end room and while Mike Compton and David Grier were warming up, we tried all the beauties hanging on the wall. Robin then asked Walter if he could play the Loar behind the glass. He unlocked the case, handed him the $180,000 mandolin and, walked away. We both played it and while we found it to be a fine mandolin, it really proved to me that it's the player who brings the instrument to life not the other way around.
For those of you contemplating attending Megan and Adam's mandolin camp, I highly recommend it. The experiences are amazing and the people you meet, attendees, instructors, and people like those at Carter, make it worth every cent.
