According to Dave Hynds, "Cyrano" was a German trade mark. What's interesting is the 5th course - a single "C," I assume. Never seen that before:

Don't know how long this will last and I post it purely in the spirit of Mando-camaraderie:
Thanks, Mike. I was intrigued by the solid mahogany construction. I have a 1950's "Bobby Henshaw" baritone uke made from mahogany and like the tone a lot - also made in New York, oddly enough.

For holidays and such, my current "risk-having-it-crushed-to-death-at-check-in" mandolin is an Epiphone MM30 - mahogany back and sides with a spruce top. But I really like the look of the new G9310...
Bowl back mandolins are the worst - even when they're in tune, they're not ...
Exact opposite experience for me - fiddling around in fiddle-land for too many years seems to have eradicated what little i thought I knew about the mandolin - chord structures and progressions in...
I've seen a few of your videos - I think I'd flunk the audition to your band.
It might also be a case of "olde ears." Loud bass and high frequency notes can really hurt sometimes - a speedy...
... the image just gets worser and worser.
That wasn't the video - I looked but couldn't find it. But just to keep this light and conversational …
Bill Monroe was an incredible musician. "Uncle Pen" is a wonderful tune. The...
Mate - I wouldn't call seeing you in your smalls as getting "lucky" ...
I once saw a Youtube video of an elderly gentleman talking about his Bill Monroe Limited Edition Mandolin to his family - I'd guess - all gathered round a kitchen table. And while I'd love to own...
I suppose photos are out of the question ...
Yes - particularly the treble notes. The other thing I noticed was the sweet spot shifted down a bit, past the sound hole and over the top of the pick guard.
Difficult, I know, but if all the mystic crystal blather associated with Verdi's "A" can be pushed aside for a moment, 432hz sounds altogether kinder to the ear when played on my bowl back than that...
Assuming that's so and in defense of the family, Picasso's kids sold their father's name to Renault for use on one of their cars. This was done to protect the name, something which requires...
Insert Bill Monroe's rattlesnake rattle through the f-holes on this and exchange its existing tuners for those cadged off his mandolin and … and … see Venice and die …

We need to talk.
"The chief business of the American people is business" … and litigation.
Will Bill's rattlesnake rattle be included, I wonder ... that would be some serious ju-ju for the mojo-less.
Nice picking, Allen and I'm hoping the twinge of MAS I experienced while listening to your Strad' will slowly fade away like drops of morning dew ...
I'm bidding for his toe-nail clippings.
What!! We're cousins!?! … "I Mak Sikkar!"
You can also "cadge" arrangements off the internet - being sure to call it "research:"

Thanks - always wanted to do this to my Loar but imagined it would be a much more complicated … sticky … procedure. Mandolin is smooth as silk and smelling slightly of beeswax - win-win.
