not a mandolin but if you're into diminutive instruments, this might be of interest:

Bill,

Must be a nice time of year to be in Italy and involved with period music and instruments. A friend just got back from Firenze tutta luce and had some great photos (but I guess that could be anyplace where you are right now.)

Here's a drawer full of those little suckers. Not mine!

Though I imagine, Jim, that there is a drawer/closet/storage container/warehouse that SLIGHTLY resembles this and contains the budding Garber collection.....

i posted a modest, sane, perfectly rational, obsessionally contained ... catalogue of back-of-the-closet playthings to an "IAS" (instrument acquisition syndrome) thread here just recently ... your absence was observed and duly noted, jim.

I remember that drawer, Jim. What fun.
