Lovely playing. I arrived at this video having searched in RUclips for Fylde Signature Touchstone Mandolin... I may as well ask, are you satisfied with yours? (Though I think I know the answer!)
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!
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
Beautiful! Inspiring! Bravo!
I've just ordered a Touchstone Signature mandolin off Roger. Really excited to play it.
Bravo sire!
beautiful....
Lovely!
Wonderfully played--by all three of you.
Fabulous. Now I need a mince pie. Hope you're keeping well Dave :-)
Lovely stuff Dave! Beautifully played & recorded
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!

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 👍
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
Excellent Dave what camera and audio did you use? great quality!
