There are a couple dozen Tennessee-based builders in the cafe's builders' database (http://www.mandolincafe.com/cgi-bin/builders/searchdb.cgi?uid=default&view_records=1&keyword=tennessee), some of whom you might want to contact directly. (This includes one builder in Bristol, who no longer has a web presence, but still with a phone number in the database.)
