Thank you, Skip! I think Danny Roberts' kick-off on the new "Heartbreak Hall of Fame" is a great example of the tone that he is talking about in the BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED article --

Here's a nice gospel medley from Silas Powell recorded by his Mom during an outdoor photo shoot --

So dang proud that Silas Powell decided to save-up his hard-earned gig earnings over the course of more than a year to become a Sorensen VX mandolin player and Endorsing Artist! To put it mildly, he is an extraordinarily focused, dedicated, and persistent excellent young picker!
PS -- The Powell Family Band's "Hard Times" CD is a great showcase for his taste and skill (and the excellent support and mentoring from his Father, Grandfather, Mom, and Mike Compton too).

I'm always impressed by Zack's rhythmic chops and his tone on melody.

Well that's thoroughly awesome, but it sounds like Big Mon?
Mandolin: Kentucky KM150
Other instruments: way too many, and yet, not nearly enough.

DOH! Yep, "Big Mon".

Got to play a couple of the VX models at Summergrass. They are serious mandolins! Unique design, groundbreaking innovations, beautiful fit and finish.....and killer tone. Definitely worth your consideration! And no, I don’t own one......yet....

Here's Zack Arnold jammin' on a VX the streets of Raleigh at IBMA 2019 --
The pickers are -- Zach Collier- Bass, Kyle Ramey- Banjo, Zack Arnold- Mandolin, Jacob Greer- Guitar
Ironically, Zack was picking a borrowed VX because I was back at the hotel room doing some set-up work on his . . . I think he got back to swap this one for his at about 2AM.
