Can't afford it, but I think I'll stop over at John's and play it for awhile.

This looks like an arched top? I have only seen flat tops to date.

Wow. This is really fantastic. Thanks for posting. Completely transcendent design at all levels. (The tailpiece notwithstanding.) I love it!

Allen, please give us some first-hand feedback if you do get a chance to play it.

Pricey as all get-out, but very cool.

Would Bruno be the builder of this mandola or just the distributor C. Bruno and Son of New York, as described in the thread "What is this?"

Bruno would be the distributor, someone is offering it as having been built by the Larson brothers, doesn't seem to be certain. If it is, it is top-of-the-line stuff boys! Someone should reproduce one like it.
