We invited Chris Thile over to the shop for a mandolin-tasting after the incredible Nickel Creek shows at the Ryman Auditorium. It was an incredible afternoon, to say the least! In this video, Chris starts off with the Virzi-equipped Loar and transitions to the non-Virzi sibling, giving his impressions of each. Both instruments are from the February 18th, 1924 batch (along with both of Thile's, Mike Marshall's, John Paul Jones's, and John Reischmann's). Both are currently available at Carter Vintage, give us a call or email for more information! Many thanks to Chris for stopping by!

There is literally a million pounds worth of mandolins just sitting in front of him. It will be mine. Oh yes; It will be mine. One day... :-(

My "problem" started w a '68 lg-0 for $300... this venture is going to take some effort in visualization

Thile definitely operates on a much different level than any one else.He is possibly the greatest mando player ever.There are great players....and then there is Thile.I am sure the other great players would agree.

What does virzi on a mandolin mean?

Cool video, but is that couch vinyl? I had a really bad experience with a vinyl strap and a thin nitro finish... now I am getting it buffed out, yuck. Amazing instruments indeed.

This guy is a freakin mandolin genius. I've been watching him for about a year now . I wish he'd give me lessons.
