Thanks so much!
It is a wonderful thing to attain free music.

Welcome to the camp. I guess you all know why you're here.
Uh...... Sorry. I couldn't resist.
I hope your mandolin/mandolin journey is one that rewards you greatly with with fun and friends....

Adam and Don,
Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedules. I can only imagine the schedules you keep.

Sternart. You beat me by a smidgen. Good shot!

The Spanish Inquisition?

NO-BODY expected the Spanish Inquisition!

Sorry all. I just couldn't resist.

I am not a great player by any means. I am likely an advanced beginner at best. I though did get the opportunity to play this mandolin, there at Elderly's.
What I do remember clearly is...

Sorry to hear about your difficulty. I do though know an outstanding Luthier. His name is Bruce Taggart. He has been building since the mid seventies. I have had him do some set up work for me and...

Mr Bernabe,
PLEASE STOP THIS TORMENT!!!
Your finishing jobs on the two instruments you have posted are EXQUISITE!! I love the way the sunburst is subtle, yet elegant. I would love to see one of...

I love mine. I also had a very nice experience in purchasing from Doug.

I have two words.
1) Luscious
2) Delicious
That is one amazing looking mandolin! Thank you for sharing. Is it spoken for?

Would there be a way to use some sort of invisable ink stamp, that could be made avaialable by Gear Track, that could fit through the F hole opening (see pencil shaped device with preinked end)...

Being that it is a grant do the winners still have to pay taxes on the money?
I don't know the answer, but I thought I had seen such somewhere.

RATS!!
Its going to take me at least an hour to sop up all the drool that just got all over my keyboard.
That is a remarkable mandolin indeed. I am not a sucker for a blackface. But that one...

I second the "That just hurts!" comment.
Sorry for your loss. I hope it doesn't hurt the marriage. Good wives are hard to find. Even ones that accidentally trash a valued instrument.

I have found my "Click" Mandolin to be a great instrument. It will cost you in the range of $2250, but it is well worth it. He will make it according to your desires.
His history and why he makes...

Hello Stephen,
So sorry to hear of the accident. Working for myself also I am always aware of what one mishap would do for the income.
BTW. How long will you be working on the new shop?

I too have liked all of the Taggarts I have seen.
I would also be interested in seeing more work from the shops of the following:
The lady Luthier out west who's name I can't remember. (She used...

Congrats on the win.
Glad to hear that the healing is going well. I hope hope you to have full recovery soon.
