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 Eight, May plays a 1917 Gibson "U" Model Harp Guitar. Harvey plays a 1914 Gibson H-2 Mandola. The tune is "Sweet Hour of Prayer".

You need a new music teacher.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. The mandolin is a very under-appreciated instrument. Can you believe my music teacher didn't even know what a mandolin is?!?! And it's really more versatile that most people think; my mom's ex boyfriend played, and he could do some serious jammin' on it!

Oh yeah, the harp guitar's nice as well, I guess... lol jk It's freakin' awesome!

He played that harp guitar better than I would. Not an easy instrument in any way.
