Watching PBS TV's "Bluegrass Now!" and the Dan Tyminski Band, it looks like he is playing a Newson mandolin. The sound really stood out. Those Newson mandolins are a little bit under the radar, not way under the radar, but this is the first time I've seen a bluegrass "big gun" performer playing a Newson. I know the mando player in the Greensky band plays a Newson, but haven't noticed any top-of-the-heap players performing with a Newson. Have you?
