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."

Many things odd about the above picture. We'll leave it to you to count them. In particular though, it was five years ago Christmas we had the privilege of reviewing a prototype Lawrence Smart 10-string mandolin from the internationally renowned Idaho builder. It was such a treat, and we're happy to see several other builders pushing the boundaries themselves with the challenge of fanned frets. In particular, from the other side of our continent, Max & Lauri Girouard have been posting pictures on their Facebook Page of just the cut fingerboard as they brace for the 2015 introduction a 10-string A-body.

Really looking forward to this!
