new, pictures, of interest
UPDATE: Bruce designed the new instrument label- beginning March. George Lane visited and took a picture of the (attractive!) Weber crew in MT. After NAMM we took a side trip to Bend and the Two Old Hippies Shop so that Bruce could check it out and plan for the move at the end of this month. We are all pretty psyched here (as they are in Bend), and it's going to be exciting ...

Visit us in the Two Old Hippies Booth, #1800. Bruce, Cameron and I will be there and lots of instruments to play! I reminded Bruce how one year we and our friends, Froggy Bottom Guitars, decided to get booths next to each other with a sound room in between where players could hear the instruments (we seemed to always be next to drums).

Homestead Pickin' Parlor, in Minnesota, was very active at the latest CMSA (Classical Mandolin Society) Convention.

I posted this on FaceBook and I thought it might be of interest here, too. Sorry if it's a repeat- although probably not as it looked like they used mandolin sized back-drop- sheesh.
5 Bucks for a Weber
While I try to get videos up on our website Player, I confess to always being WAY behind. Several of our Dealers do a fine job however, and following is one comparing the Gallatin A with a Gallatin F
This is a very nice letter, however he goes a bit deeper on many levels. Dear people at Sound to Earth, Since a couple of days I am the lucky owner of a Weber Vintage F mandolin (9372710) and I am already deeply in love with its beauty. Having played the violin for about 20 years in my youth, nowadays - I am 61 years old - the mandolin is my favourite instrument. The reason for this change is that, due to permanent back problems as result of a serious accident, I am no longer able ...
