Mandolin Brothers: Chris Thile with the Lloyd Loar F5 (

- On Monday September 24th, we were visited by 3/5ths of The Punch Brothers -- Chris Thile, along with Chris Eldridge (Martin 1939 D-28 Herringbone) and Noam Pickelny (Gibson 1941 RB-12 Top Tension Mastertone). Chris played our two Lloyd Loar 1924 F-5 mandolins and our 1925 Fern. Of our March 31, 1924 signed Loar, #75846, bearing Virzi Number (one of the lowest numbers seen although they seem to have been applied in no particular order) #10002, Chris said that it was one of the finest sounding "Virzi-equipped" Lloyd Loar F-5s he had ever heard. He said "this has an explosive low end that's awesome!" He added "You just don't hear F-5s with a Virzi that sound anything like this." He was also extremely impressed with our newest acquisition: the non-Virzi signed Loar dated February 18, 1924, bearing serial number #75318. Chris said: "This is one hell of a mandolin; it's a 'hoss.'" And he added "This February 18th Loar produces a sound that's right in between David Grisman's July 9, 1923 (the Bill Monroe date) and John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin)'s February 18th Loar. It is, he told us, "truly spectacular!" Chris owns the Lloyd Loar made two serial numbers before this one and added that he's come to the conclusion that for the finest possible sound of which a Lloyd Loar is capable you "can't depend on any other time period but February 1924 for the production of the signed Loar to be this transcendent in its response." This was made in the third and final year of the signed F-5. "Gibson had," he continued, "discovered how to build an optimum mandolin -- it never got better than this period." One could call it "the last great period" and the apogee -- the highest point - of Gibson's mandolin-making prowess. We realize that these mandolins are not inexpensive -- but if you are thinking along the lines of "I deserve to own the best mandolin that exists in the world -- and, frankly, who doesn't say that out loud to complete strangers every couple of days -- we'd like you to come to Mandolin Brothers (Sharon) and buy yourself a mandolin. . . . We made a 6 or 7 astonishing and wonderful video recordings of Chris T., and Chris E.and Noam P. playing these instruments. We hope you will view and hear them for yourself.

thank you camera man for staying on his right hand
Live performance is different to records, and I think impromptu music (whether listening to it or playing yourself), played just to play and with less worry for imperfections, has a flavour of joy unattainable by either of them
Thile's right hand work is just.. Unbelievable.
Carter Shilts He's been playing since he was 5 and he's 31 so that what? 26 years. A lot of experience goes with a lot skill.
His left ain't too shabby either :)
Nonpareil
Yea 2 rights!!
Just stumbled across Chris and the Punch Brothers music for the first time this evening and have just spent a lovely hour trawling through the vids. Great playing and a brilliant feel. Heartwarming and inspirational stuff especially for me as I'm moving from guitar to mandolin.
Chris Eldridge "Oh shit, i don't remember how this goes at all"
*>nonchalantly executes a bluegrass facemelter*
Chris Eldridge is one of my favorite players ...and singers.
gosh damnit....iim never gonna finish any songs with chris and his endless flow of amazing meoldies....this one is damn cool
He is absolute virtuosity... His buddy ain't bad either.. I am hooked on Thile
This tune sounds better as a guitar/mandolin duet than with the full band
Would you know the song name by any chance
@@user-iw1oj6to4r it's a Punch Brother's tune called Squirrel of Possibility.
I agree
I so love these guys!!
That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
I wish I could play as good when I don't remember how this goes at all too! Sickness!
This is Punch Brothers' new tune "The Squirrel of Possibility."

Recorded album. Absolutely ridiculous

It's called "Squirrel Of Possibility" off the "Ahoy!" Album.
TONE!!!
ich hab so etwas noch nicht gehört......das ist, wie soll ich es sagen.......
can anyone tell me what song this is? id LOVE to learn this!
In the intro he said it was Temperance Reel
I'm just like Chris I'd wear that same shirt.
anything w/ Chris on the fern?
Nickel Creek went separate musical ways in 2007, this is Chris' new band since some years, "the Punch Brothers" =)
apfelstrudelmaster no "the", JUST punch brothers.
Wow
blown.....a......way
Does that tune have a name or was it mostly improvised?
what is this song?
+oggg814 Squirrel of possibility
God
Will changing my first name to, "Chris", make be a better picker?...Nah !
lol
Thought it was a virzi from the first notes. I was correct
Goin to Staten island to buy me a mandolin...
Virzis sound good, but the volume loss is the down side.
I don't know weather its the speakers on my computer but most mandolins on youtube sound a bit feeble. I've got one of the cheapest mandolins you can get yet it really packs a punch.
no nickle creek?
..
.....okay
What the f**k!
