Interesting. In some of the photos her Epiphone MM50E has the stock NanoMag pickup and in others it's been removed.
She has a capo on fret 1 and the guitarist has a capo on fret 4 ... hm.
Yeah, that's the kind of detail I look for in these photos.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of this thread. Hats off to all women mandolin players today and always. Pics include subject of 1st post: Lorraine Duisit (formerly from Trapezoid), Lorraine with Manalele, Addie Levy, & Elison duo (thanks to Scott Tichenor's post).

I'm assuming that picture was digitally edited, aka popularly called "Photoshopped" regardless of whether or not an Adobe product was used to perform the editing. The Queen, as shown in the picture, has very manly hands...
So... anyway... bluejeans & t-shirt *and* a crown, cool mix!
That's from a VERY old thread. The hands belong to the Cafe's main hardware guy.

I looked up google images of waldzither's. The look like mandolins. What's the difference between them and the mandolin? I tried to find out but the only thing I could find was on quora, and I don't use quora.
Waldzithers usually have 9 strings (there are also a few with 14 strings), with the 4 double courses and a single bass string. And they are usually tuned in open C (C-GG-cc-ee-gg). With ca. 70 cm (27''-28"), they have roughly mandola size and a scale length of ca. 46 cm (18").
They're bigger than mandolins, and they have a single 9th bass string. They served as kind of a predecessor of the Octave Mandolin in the Irish Folk revival, and Andy Irvine played one (with the 9th string removed).
Thank you, Norbert and Bertram! Well, I learn something new every day! The waldzither must sound very cool with a 9th drone string.
Yes - it does http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/sh...oem-Waldzither

Wow, thanks for posting this video again! I remember seeing this before and I forgot about it , but I really love this tune and I love her playing. I'm gonna try and learn this one!!!
According to "The Mandolin of Norman Blake", published by Homespun tapes, Norman and Nancy owned a 1923 Lloyd Loar F-5. That in addition to other vintage mandolins.
