A little reminder of the fun that awaits post social distancing! As always, the kids at Joe Val Bluegrass Festival killed it this past February. Let's hope all this home time translates to practice! .

The kids were all ready to go to the mainstage, but confounded by not being able to find their picks! Needless to say they killed it. Another great year on the books for the Greyfox Bluegrass Academy for Kids!

Fussing through some transitions with the most versitile tool in the shop, the lamp! Coming in at a close second, the scraper. #nosandpaper #fmodel #mandolin #luthier #luxo #whatsonyourbench #spruce #oldstandard #lamplight #shadow #handtools #sneeze

Goodness gracious! Mandolin Camp North is nearly upon us! Lots of great players to pick with, and learn from... good teachers too! Still a few beds left. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! More info at www.musiccampsnorth.com

Great big thanks to @carsoncaldwell and the folks at @calton_cases for providing me with a fine new prototype handle to replace my haggard and worn one of 19 years. Hope to get at least that out of this one!

New Tailpiece

June 27, 2014

What more of a reason to start a blog that the first implementation of our new tailpiece! Made of an alloy of 420 Stainless Steel and Bronze, then nickel plated. It is entirely rigid improving sustain, volume, and looks!
