"Banjo Meets Mandolin"
Making Mandolins with Sam Albright
Fri, 04/12/2013 - 11:49am
Topics: mandolin, mike marshall
Sam Albright has been working with wood for over 50 years. He now works out of his solar-powered shop located near Ellenburg, Washington making mandolins. ArtistWorks had a chance to interview this talented mandolin luthier recently, who's also a student of Mike Marshall's online mandolin lessons. Because he doesn't just build mandolins - he also plays them.
AW: How long have you been making mandolins?
Sam: I finished my first mandolin in 2008. Actually I just found an old mandolin neck that I started way back in Art School in about 1975. And I’ve built several electric guitars and a banjo. This is really the first production run of instruments, with the final design really worked out in advance.

We had so much fun with the Mike Marshall Mandolin Workshop that we're teaming up with Mandolin Cafe and doing it again!
This time we're switching it up, it's going to be a celebration of all things mando and banjo. So, Mike Marshall will be joining Tony Trischka for another free online workshop we're calling "Banjo Meets Mandolin"! Viewers will be treated to a fresh look at the banjo and the mandolin with some playing, some teaching and some discussion with two masters at the peak of their abilities.
The event will stream live on April 23rd at 6 PM (Pacific Daylight Time) and will be once again moderated by Mandolin Cafe Founder Scott Tichenor.
