Mandolin World News
Begun in 1976 by David Grisman, Todd Phillips, and Darol Anger, founding members of the ground-breaking David Grisman Quintet, Mandolin World News published 31 issues.
Each was packed to the staples with valuable information on every aspect of the mandolin and mandolin playing in all styles, all over the world.
Each issue included an interview with an important mandolin innovator or an in-depth article on a past mandolin master. Also included were columns, music and tablature, playing tips, exercises, instruction, repair and setup information, transcriptions, recording tips, vintage photos, recipes, jokes and “Jethro Speaks.” Styles covered included classical, jazz, popular, folk, country, bluegrass, swing, blues, Celtic, and much more.
Dix Bruce edited Mandolin World News from 1978 through 1984. The magazine was published for one year by John Stiernberg. It ceased publication thereafter.
Note: As of mid-April, 2020, much of the USA and the world remain under “Shelter-in-Place” conditions. We’ve been able to order and receive products from most suppliers but our printer is closed for the duration. Given that our stock of Mandolin World News back issues is very limited we may run out of certain issues. When that happens we’ll update the postings below as soon as possible to reflect what is unavailable. Of course we’ll send what we have available and send you the rest when it’s back in stock. If you’d like you can email us before you order to check availability. E-mail: Contact@musixnow.com
