Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

June 30, 2012 | Signature 2-point magic, Brian Lock

Two years ago, we had the opportunity to review an astounding 2-point mandolin by Pecos, New Mexico builder Brian Lock. The southwestern US artisan started out self-trained, his building was later nurtured by experiences with a mandolin power trio consisting of John Monteleone in 2005, Mike Kemmnitzer ( Nugget) in 2006, and with Steve Gilchrist in 2009, later honing his own line of mandolins.
