. Published on Apr 21, 2014. 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!www.cartervintage.com.
