| A few of Evan's favorite things: |
|
FAVORITE MOVIE: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, because Mr. Smith stood up for his principles of right and wrong even though doing so made him the object of much contempt and ridicule; he persevered and won. FAVORITE COMPOSERS: Beethoven, Bach and Mozart, because the music is so wonderful and because they held themselves to such high aesthetic standards. FAVORITE PASTIME: Beside playing the mandolin? Being with family... Being at Church... Reading about acoustics and music theory... FAVORITE FOOD: Fettuccini Alfredo... FAVORITE DESSERT: Vanilla milk shake... FAVORITE PICK: Small tear drop, rather thin, rounding and bevelling the edges with an emery board, as classical guitarists do with their nails... FAVORITE STRINGS: D'Addario extra lights... Why is kind of a long story, but it relates to the flexibility afforded by gut (light-tension) strings used by mandolinists 230 years ago... PRIMARY MANDOLIN: I have used my Gilchrist 5C for all playing situations the last 6+ years... It would be fun to have a great vintage oval-hole instrument, though... MANDOLIN START: My first bluegrass buddy, Jon Bluemel... He loaned me his Dad's bowl back (the Bluemel family eventually gave it to me), and I was hooked... He told me to plant my right ring finger and pinky on the pickguard, just like Earl Scruggs did on the face of his 5-string banjo; that eventually suited my duo-style technique very well... |
| To Answer the #1 Question asked by fans of the plucked string: |
Evan uses a customized Clayton
USA .50 gauge mandolin pick. |
| Interesting Tidbit |
| Evan loves combining a Schertler DYN-M pickup with an AKG C1000 mic on his Gilchrist 5C mandolin. |
