You have harp mandolins for sale, or you're looking to sell harp mandolins?

[applemountainguy]

ahh im trying to find a dealer to buy one

Check harpguitars.net for current harp-mando luthiers. I don't think there are any "dealers" of new instruments. There are some vintage dyer and knutsen harp mandolins out there. Check the big dealers on the links page here.

A harpguitar (http://www.larkinam.com/search.asp?t=ss&ss=harpguitar) is available at Lark in the Morning, but I don't find a harpmandolin.
EDIT: Try some of the places listed in this thread. (http://www.mandolincafe.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=13;t=18219)

I have two listed on the Cafe's Hybrid Eye Candy page (http://www.mandolincafe.com/archives/builders/hybrid.html). I took a good look through the builder database but these two again are the only ones I'm aware of.

Maybe give Kennard at Intermountain Guitar and Banjo (http://www.guitarandbanjo.com) a jingle. He has one(some) old ones (he plays em' in the bathtub) and may know more.

What is the deal on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PRO-HARP-MANDOLIN-ACOUSTIC-ELECTRIC-INSTRUMENT_W0QQitemZ190147214399QQihZ009QQcategory

Z10179QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank">this harp mandolin</a>? Looks kind of cheesey, but for $3 might be worth it http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Especially interesting is this: "Ask about a hardshell case to protect this beautiful guitar." Really?

This guy has some strange (looking) stuff.
It does not where he is, but, he takes MO sales tax.
Shipping is not cheap too.

Yeah... strange... Pacrim mfg'ers, I would think.

I think his strategy is to have low starting bids with high shipping rates to cover his wholesale cost.

BION he says he can provide a fitted hard foam case.

I wonder how bad the construction is on this harp mando. Looks a little clunky but might be worth a shot if it doesn't go too high. It probably needs serious set up I would imagine.

Even stranger... they have a listing showing double neck electric mandolins here (http://tropicalmoonmusic.com/mandolin_double_neck.html) and the photo is from my friend Joel's site here (http://www.earnestinstruments.com/custom.html).

I would recommend David Newton. He is in the builders section, and is a first rate luthier who builds harp mandolins. I believe his website is www.davidnewtonguitars.squarespace.com.
