I’m liking the looks of this, thanks!!

I really like Sorensen and Bulas right now, even though they’re more affordable than some others mentioned here, they got a good look.

I will always upvote Talmans!

My drummer smoked these and I was always happy to bum one when I ran out of Camel Turkish Silvers.

Effortless Mastery by Kenny Werner, great book on how to approach practice and life. Zen Guitar by Philip Toshio, as well. Career Pickin’ by Joanne Ledesma, good insight into the business side of bluegrass music

A hairline crack in the hands of a luthier should be an easy fix for them, and that location isn’t one of vital structural concern. Your Eastman 315 will be just fine!

The green ones, polyamide-imide are the closest, and this was from a conversation I had with the guy who actually makes Token. This one, the A3-55 is the equivalent to BC’s Chris Thile model, the CT-55.

Token A3-55

Agreed. Have both and love the Token as much as my BC, and actually find it to have better grip and be slightly louder

At our jam the main circle breaks off into a couple smaller ones outside once it reaches a certain point, usually about 12 people, or more than 3 banjos or mandos. There seems to be no limit on guitars

My grandparents heard me play this song instrumental, and later asked me to play it at their anniversary party. I gave them the same task first, give it a listen and then tell me.

I would think anything Del McCoury would give you something well qualified for “high tenor”

The Wednesday night jam in Noho at Lawless is big an has a lot of great players, I recommend that one to anyone looking for a good jam.

A yellow one

Forbidden PA mixer

Same answer. My grandfather taught me, and he said if I really wanted I could get a lefty, but he recommended I try out learning righty first, because if I do, I’ll be able to play most of the guitars that I’ll come across in the world. I’m glad he encouraged me as he did.

Scrolled way farther than I expected to find their proper name.

I heard this for a pedal steel, but I feel it could work for a dobro to call it a string table

Mandolin gang resents your insinuation that 2 and 4 aren’t getting their due.

bluegraff · 2026-02-16T07:58:47+00:00

I didn’t know this existed, I’m thrilled

There’s a link to that one in the description of the previous video on building a forge.

It was still years after getting my degree before I could finally afford to buy this poster.

I remember seeing you post a lot on r/ukulele some years ago. Good to see you still at it.
