Oh, that's a sickening feeling. I dropped my fiddle on a highschool

You cracked the Gil?? I think I'm going to be sick! But at least now

Speaking of that first Gil, #53. We asked Steve about the first 52
instruments at this year's Mandolin Symposium. His response was classic:
ooh, I just wish they would go away.

About a year ago, I had my Laura Racliffe mandolin slung around my

I feel your pain, Petimar. I waited for my Poe mandolin for a year, had it shipped overnight in a Calton. When it arrived, I opened the case and looked inside...and there was the broken headstock scroll. Hadn't even played a single note.

I was jamming at a festival campsite in Utah when a microburst
windstorm picked up an aluminum camping table and threw it at me and
my Gil. I saw it coming out of the corner of my eye and got my arm
out, but it basically folded around me and the Gil and flapped a few
times. I heard an awful

I actually really like the DADEAD guitar tuning and after seeing that joke
about DEAD tuning on a mandolin it might actually work on a mando! Hmm, now
I need some free time.

Buck White's got a piece of nylon cord wrapped around his end pin and
through the strap too. Same thing; the strap came off the endpin of
his Gil(the one his son-in-law bought him) and went headfirst onto the
floor. No damage that I remember him telling me, but he learned the
lesson right then.

One thing I learned for certain is that artistry at his level does not have
