A mandolin, an A model to be exact. I like the motion that you captured in the hands.

(mandolin is one of my other hobbies)

Two of my wife's brothers are visiting from New Brunswick.




I know nothing about musical instruments so I took this shot for you Ron & Rick.

The instrument in its case at the bottom really pops--nice pics!

Does it say Collings on it? If so, very nice mando.

Yes, that is what it is.

Another Guitar picking bro is to arrive today.

The Tottenham Bluegrass festival is on this weekend & we overlook the town from our hilltop.

Sweet. I haven't been to a bluegrass festival in a few years. The big one I used to attend is going on right now, I miss it.

Ron, can you play like this? We've seen Ricky Skaggs play live several times at Birchmere and it's nothing short of amazing...

 

[Ron Evers]

The only music I can play is with a radio.

Kentucky Thunder, great band. No, I can't play it like that. Actually though Ricky is at best second best mandolin play in that video. The kid fiddling is darn good at mandolin and fiddle.

The other bro showed up & tried his hand @ the mandolin.

Boys say that is a sweet one.

Joe's guitar is a Martin HD 35, 2006 model if that means anything to you.

"It ain't bluegrass without a Martin", yeah, it means something to me. I have a Martin dread as well, but mine is a cut-away and has electronics so I can play at Church.
