Awesome video! This is one of the only videos comparing this many high-end models. (Thanks!). IMO, I think more folks would be dedicated mandola players if they could get their hands on one in their earlier years. Decades later, I bought one and love it. I’m so glad you played it. I’m curious, though… did they have a Monteleone ? That’s my favorite mandolin sound!
When a channel releases a new video on RU-vid, it automatically shows up in the subscribers feed making it readily available for subscribers to watch. Channels can earn money through a program called AdSense. So when you see a video on RU-vid that has ads… that channel is earning a small percentage of money because of the ad!
The banjo was handmade by a guy in Texas. Loar mandolins are great. The only trouble with them is they’re so expensive and very few of them around. The Gilchrist I play competes with them tonaly and is built with the same attention to detail but at a considerably cheaper price.
