Lovely playing. I arrived at this video having searched in UA-cam for Fylde Signature Touchstone Mandolin... I may as well ask, are you satisfied with yours? (Though I think I know the answer!)
Peter Hoban Thanks Pete, the camera was my iPhone! The audio path is a bit more serious though. Royer and Neumann mics, Neve mic pres, PrismSound converters. And of course the instruments sound stunning
Tricky question! The Falstaff is the better instrument imo but the Olivia is much older and there is a mature openness to the sound. Probably the Falstaff, just!
Beautiful! Inspiring! Bravo!
I've just ordered a Touchstone Signature mandolin off Roger. Really excited to play it.
Bravo sire!
beautiful....
Wonderfully played--by all three of you.
Lovely!
Lovely! That's a fine collection of stringed instruments...
Indee it is! You cant have too many Fyldes!
@@DaveHolmesRaw As someone who has zero, I agree!
Lovely stuff Dave! Beautifully played & recorded
Fabulous. Now I need a mince pie. Hope you're keeping well Dave :-)

Definitely! The combination of woods gives it a strong, bright tone. I've been a fan of Roger Bucknall and Fylde instruments since I was a teenager.
@@DaveHolmesRaw 👍
Excellent Dave what camera and audio did you use? great quality!

Who do you love more, Olivia, or Falstaff???

@@DaveHolmesRaw Wow, Falstaff must be some instrument. Would you mind telling me the serial number of your Olivia please.? Mine is 1560 from 1979.
@@splitpotrose Mine is 1829 and I think its 1980
