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."

April 10, 2006 | Daisies

Talking with another of our favorite builders, Rolfe Gerhardt we learned of his "Daisies," a special one-of-a-kind Neoclassical mandolin. The instrument is breathtakingly gorgeous, and when you read about the over 70 hours inlay lovingly cut into the ebony (a whole week on the fingerboard alone!), you understand just why it's one of a kind. Still, it's a tribute to the artist and a testament to how devoted to his craft he is.

Please don't eat the daisies... (But you can play over them)

Still a stage favorite of ours, the Phoenix Jazz.
