Love how dad was playing with his eyes closed, how the oldest sister backs up at 10:23, and Roslanida smiles a loving and broad smile as Savio breaks the musiq down, alles gut und schoen...
What a terrific Saturday morning treat!!! We so enjoyed your road trip to meet up with the lovely Mr. Hicks; what a great adventure. No wonder you were so excited, Savio! Your new instrument is truly a beautiful work of art and so superbly crafted; we love the inscription on the truss rod cover. We love the way that we've been able to watch and hear how you've all developed and improved as musicians; and how you've grown and matures as people too! Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. The playing on this video is nothing but outstanding; well done. Love from the UK XXX
I remember the day I got my mandolin from Wayne Henderson back in 1978. I thought it was the prettiest mandolin I had ever seen and I still do to this day. It is also the best mandolin I have ever heard and I have played 3 Loars and heard others. It was 750 dollars in 1978. Even though it has aged wood, your new mandolin will continue to get better as it is played.
Congrats, you must be pumped to get this special mandolin. That mandolin is a labor of love, I’m happy for you Savio God Bless you and your family you’re lucky to have parents who raised you right, looking forward to more videos. Cheers my friends
Too many people fail to credit the craftsmanship and love that individual musical instrument makers put into their work. Not so with these wonderful young musicians. There are centuries of knowledge, tradition and dedication passed on by supporting the folks who are both artists in craft and the music that brings a purity to the joy of the music. Not mass produced in a factory, but created by hands of love and skill. God Blessed us with these things.
I love the sound of the mandolin my friend i first ever heard the mandolin when i watched the movie the godfather and i have loved the sound of it ever since i love the way you play it you have mastered it well done buddy❤❤❤👍
I had a mandolin hand made for me, cost me well over 3 grand. All the wood are historic The headstock & neck is a One piece willses tobacco factory floor board from the 1800s. If I listed absolutely everything it be here writing so much. The sound hole and edge trim are both inlaid with abalone shell From the luthiers dads hand luggage from when he was at the Vietnam war. Like you I have Perl tuning pegs. I love my mandolin. I got it in 2008
I swear you kids sound tighter every time I hear you. Beautiful sounding instrument Savio, bet you played it all the way home. Lol, I know I probably would have.
I'm kinda late to find this video, but sure glad that I did. For basically a pratice caught on camera, the sound was awesome. Thanks guys. and a late happy birthday papa Looks to be a great choice on the mandolin, Savio. And custom made too. Priceless Smart young men make smart choices.
Beautiful instrument, Salvio. It sure didn't take you long to set it on fire. My husband and I look forward to hear it ripen under your hand. Hugs to the whole family.
Winky Hicks is a true craftsman and you are a true artist! I love hearing him tell you about this fine instrument that he created with his own hands. This Mandolin will be with you the rest of your life. The tone of that old wood is amazing, I look forward to hearing you play this instrument in your future videos!
Congrats Savio. BTW you and Cecilia really rocked on 'Escape from Taiwan'. Her backup playing skills - especially with tricky rythm - blow me away. I'm super proud of you both! I bought myself a new Washburn Mando a few years ago after I mastered a Bach Cello Sonata. My grandson will get my old inexpensive Kentucky. He is 5 and was watching you and Cecilia perform and he was looking with keen interest. I really love the sound of your new Hicks. One of these days - probably if I ever retire - I'm going to sign up for some Sierra Hull classes. She and Adam Steffey are 2 of my three favorite mando players (:-)
Congratulations on the new beautiful and awesome sounding mandolin. I'm sure you make Mr Hicks proud the way you play it. Looking forward to hearing more music from you and your group. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats. Wanted to comment on the national anthem/ 4th July vid. I am an ex-marine who loved you guys version. And got a warm feeling from the family gathering. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent playing ! First of all ! To the man ( Happy Birthday Big Daddy ) ! Congratulation Savio for your New Mandolin she a real beauty ! Hey i can`t believe you all stay up with Savio picking, even the banjo player, hat off to you Sir ! Standing ovation for everybody ! Best wishes down the road with all of ya`ll music !
I'm obsessed with visual aesthetics...THAT is an incredibly beautiful instrument. It's design is so well balanced compared to others that I've admired.
When you look at this family you see more that just a family of musicians. I see genuine love for each other. This is how its suppose to be. The love of Christ shines through all of them. You would have to be blind not to see it. This is how to parent children. Great Job Mom and Dad.
Congratulations & Good Luck With Your New Mando Savio! Nice Build Mr. Hicks ! You Cotton Pickers Sound Real Tight On That Tune And Sound Awesome 👌, Really Nice Job ! Enjoying Listening To You From Connecticut. Peace ✝️ !
It sounds lovely & well toned. Man you rinse that mandolin, you up there Savio. You all are fantastic. You deserve to have that mandolin can you make it sound amazing.
I know exactly how you feel. I had that feeling when I got my $5000.00 archtop jazz guitar back in 1990. In today's dollars it would be probably be around $8-$9.000.00. It played like a dream. I still remember the smell of it the first time I opened the case. The smell of lacquer and the feel of the neck the first time I held it. It was magical. Then there was the sound and the response...wow. You will treasure this moment the rest of your life.
Every musician absolutely loves that feel of acquiring a new, high-quality instrument - as its different sound qualities, feel, warmth and greater qualities causes one to play and hear the music just a bit differently and to arrive at ever-higher levels of inspiration! Congrats - you guys are all unbelievably blessed!
