The instrument appears to be perfectly camouflaged - you chose it to go with those cushions?
the world is better off without bad ideas, good ideas are better off without the world
Would love to hear it!
Here's a vid of mine... sans camoflage... Tremolo and crosspicking...
and a Slip Jig

You are right Bertram. I choosed this model and I place it here, because if housebreakers come at home when I am working, they will pass in front of the mandolin without seeing it. It is an old subterfuge...
Eddie, thanks for your videos. What strings gauges do you use on your Single Malt ?
The best thing to go with a single malt is another single malt.
I know lot's of things about nothing and nothing about lot's of things.
I use J74's.
Thanks very much Eddie. By the way, do you have ever tryed J73's on it ? I use to play with theses strings.
I haven't experimented with the lighter D'Addarios. I use Thomastik on some of my other mandolins, but I wanted a bright tone from the Fylde.
A couple of fine videos there, Eddie! Love the Green Glens - it's one of our regular pieces as a vocal and the accordion player launches into Slievnamon between the two verses before coming back to the Green Glens.
Hi,
I took time this morning to compare the sound of my two mandolins, so my Fylde Touchstone Single Malt and my Weber Gallatin A4. I fitted the both instruments with a new J74 strings set. The verdict is indisputable ! The sound of the Single Malt is really brighter, "richer", and louder. My wife feels exactly the same things. It can be interesting because these two instruments are in the same class of prices.
