Noah, you need to check out the Rxair home air purification unit. It not only cleans the air but also kills almost all diseases and airborne bacteria.
I looked it up on Google and this is what I found: “Felix Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” in C major, written in 1842, is one of the best known of the pieces from his suite of incidental music (Op. 61) to Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Felix Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” in C major, written in 1842
Fascinating piece on Fylde Guitars, Seems to me that a lot of British luthiers’ guitars somehow have a medieval lute-like sound. From what I heard Fylde guitars are very much in that tradition.
how this work on a 12 string guitar
Philly and now BOSTON?? Tony, those are the two most hated teams in hockey! The only Bruin I ever liked was Bobby Orr, and I can’t even think of a Flyer. Why can’t you get a jersey in good old red, white & black? If you make one in Blackhawks colors, I’m sold. Bruins, Ptooey!
Yes Tony. I agree bought my first good guitar Martin 000-15 m special burst and got those cheap plastic pins. For me it took quite a while to save up bieng on a fixed income. I really have not fallen in love with this guitar. Will try new pins for one thing.Thanx guys great show P.S. Noah you dont like my # you know your a guitar geek when. Tryed 2 times the fishing one. Oh well.
#TonTalk and/or #Alternate Tunings
Stumbled across some D’Addario Nashville Tuning strings and thought they would be an easy entry into the alternate tuning world because I wouldn’t have to change any chord shapes. Wow, they make my guitar sound like a mandolin! Would love to have Tony talk about this set of strings and what the possible uses are for a guitar strung with them.
Thx for all you guys do.
Want to mention above the movie Slap Shot I went to the movie with Sister & Husband went they got married in Hamilton On Canada great movie the best part is when one of Hassen Brothers slapped the opposing team faces all the way down the bench and the way he did it was as if it was accidental

Tony – Touching story about your Dad’s guitar. Hope he and your mom have fully recovered. Thanks for sharing.
Great show, Tony and Noah.
Hey Tony I absolutely love your D-41 special what an incredible guitar. I guess I love it so much because I own one. What I would like to know since you also called out Martin for using plastic bridge pins did you change out the bridge pins on your D-41 and if so which pins did you use?
Also on the you know you are a guitar geek when… it’s when you travel from Milwaukee to Nazareth PA to spend a week taking a class to build your own OM guitar (and visit the Martin factory every day you are there). I can’t wait to leave for this amazing trip at the end of June!!!
You commented on Martin using plastic pins – I have a 1972 D35 – I bought it new back then – I was changing the strings last week and 2 of my plastic pins cracked – I wondered why – now I am aware – I never investigated pins – thanks for the education – and yes I would have paid a few dollars more when I bought it to have better pins — thank you
Great story on the D-41 Special Tony,always have enjoyed seeing that guitar featured in the past.I have a ’91 D-41,my favorite of all of my Acoustics.Cheers!!!
