I only wish that I could afford a mandolin from this master luthier. Stephen's instruments will long be remembered by many of the talented players who were lucky enough to play them. The sound from these instruments are certainly on a par with what Lloyd Loar and few others attained through painstaking trial and error. What wonderful sound and sustain!
I came upon this video by chance - what an inspiration! I'll never be able to afford a Gilchrist mandolin - and my playing does not deserve one - but this video has inspired me to do everything to play as well as I can on the instruments I am fortunate to own. Thanks !
A great Australian contibution to the music world. Top class work from a fine gentleman.
