Thanks everyone. I was planning on posting a sound clip but I didn't get one recorded before the mando was gone. There are a couple new ones in the works and hopefully I'll get them recorded before...
Thank you. And yes Johnny has been playing his Aleyas for a little over a year now. Looking forward to his next recording session to hear how it sounds recorded.

This is the latest completed mandolin. It is a red spruce top with two piece red maple back that is slip matched. Fern inlay with traditional colored finish. Very crisp sounding mandolin with good...
Very nice work. Looking forward to the sound clip...

Old Dangerfield played on Aleyas #13
That is an original piece Johnny wrote that for his daughter. As far as I know there is no sheet music for it. More than likely he never wrote it down...
Yes, I'm very happy to say that Johnny did buy a mandolin from me last year and it is a thrill for me to hear him playing it. But of course it is amazing to watch and hear him playing any...
Glad to hear that you are enjoying it mandopicker23.
Here is the discription that I have for it in the database I keep on the mandolins.
"A-style mandolin with Red spruce top and red maple...
That's Jim for posting the video. I would still like to record the mandolin on a condensor mic with no effects to see what it would sound like. Maybe we can do that this weekend sometime and I'll...
Thanks for all the comments. First, yes I plan on posting a sound clip or a video sometime this week. Second, I cut all of the inlay for my instruments myself... so sorry I can't help on sourcing...
This is one that I have recently finished. F-style with Red Spruce top, Sugar Maple back, sides and neck. Varnish finish and always nice Waverly tuners. Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys for all the comments. By the sound of things I'm glad we decided to post Big Mon instead of Roanoke! They were playing it about 20BPM faster!
Fun times in the shop...

Thanks everyone. I had fun building this one for such a good player like Rachel.

Glad to post. She is really a great picker and has also been very generous with letting me record her and post the tunes.

I have been always pleased with both thier customer service and the products that they sell.
A fiend of mine was at the house with her mandolin a couple of months ago and I she let me record this video of her playing East Tennessee Blues. This is a tune that she recorded on her CD (using...
Thanks, that is a really cool tune from two good pickers.
Check out a video clip of Bill Bailey played by Jim Chapman and Rich Adkins on a couple of instruments that I built.

This Mandolin is now at Cotten Music Center in TN if some one wants to check it out in person.
Thanks

I have played several Dudenbostel's in the past couple of years and I must say that the man has a great ear for voicing mandolins! Very balanced tone across the fingerboard on everyone I've played. ...
Thanks a lot guys. I had a little input though it was small, I played the bass because the room we recorded in along with the mic picked up his foot tapping and I had to cover it up with something...
