A closer look at instruments used in mandolin orchestras in the early 20th Century.... Acoustic superpickers Tim May and David Harvey brought out their personal vintage Gibson collections at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on June 27, 2007, for a powerful demonstration of the beauty and enduring quality of these old treasures. In Chapter Four, May plays a 1917 Gibson L-3 Guitar while Harvey plays a 1921 Gibson F-4 Mandolin. The tune is "Nuages", by Django Reinhardt.

Unbelievable, Thanks for sharing all the amazing info and songs. I could listen to this all day. Recently picked up 1914 L-3 in Black finish. Does anyone know if the L-3 was made in Black? Never seen one anywhere else.

Kindly go to my video,"Bundle and Go" and hear my wife playing the most sweetest A2 mandolin from 1916 with all it's original components.

Enjoy very much the series for pure enjoyment and as a learning experience... Not being a bluegrass player Nuages is about the only one I can keep up with on mandolin. In my view it is the best (and most learner friendly) interpretation on YouTube. I'm working hard on Sweet Sue as well but when you guys get fancy I have to fake it. I'll learn though...
