It was a good day today! I FINALLY was able to get all the guitars and stuff hung today. Ready for some friends to stop by and jam It took all afternoon to get these things hung up. I like having them out where I can see them because I am more likely to not just walk by, but to practice a few minutes as well plus I think its good for them to be out of their cases and breathing fresh air Kinda like me since I quit smoking!
The Mandolin above pictured , was my grandfathers. Its an old 'A' from 1907 !!! My mother had it all these years and never told me until a few years ago when she gave it to me. She has stored it in its original case ( yes I still have it ) inside a garment bag! When she took it out I nearly fell over seeing it is a Gibson! Not only that but its in excellent condition and it was still nearly in tune. I was shocked! I have replace strings since, but wow. What a gift!
Any other strummers out there???
Heres my current stash, oh yeah....exercise area as well... lol :
Nice display and great incentive to pick up and play
I have not made the time, now I hopefully will. Need to get calluses again
That's awesome especially about your grandfather's mandolin, wow 1907 and a Gibson WOW, great display ,great exercise room and a super great quit, big hug Missy .....
When I cut my thumb off I didn't play for two years. No callouses so I started back with a nylon string and loved it.
You are so incredibly talented - it just blows me AWAY. Can I borrow just a bit of that - just for a few days?
What a perfect way to keep those instruments. I can just see you, pedaling that bike, strumming away!
Good thing you quit smoking - can't do THAT in this scenario!
Now thats a thought. I don't know about nylon on the mando but surely one of those guitars!
Haha you will never see me stemming and biking at same time. Actually the bike is gonna come off the stand and go back to garage since weather is finally 'bike able' again, lol
They have them
try a set
wow, for a mandolin? I WILL look for them! Thanks for the tip!
