    If this has already been posted, I missed it. Here's a shot of women workers in the Kalamazoo Gibson factory during WWII. This is from the new book about Gibson's banner guitars made mostly by women during the war, but note the mandolin. Looks like an A-40 or A-50.

    This floated across my FB News Feed this morning and I had to purloin it to share here. I don't recall seeing it before. My apologies if it's a repeat.

    I can't find any info about the artist or the subject, but the mandolin appears to be a vintage Lyon & Healy like this one:

    Wonderful lighting - the photographer is clearly a big fan of Italian renaissance painting (Botticelli et al). The Florentine style of the Weber goes well with that (Botticelli was born in Florence, go call it concidence...)

    Can get a little more exposure for the group SHEL and Eva's mandolin playing. From their Facebook post.

    You're welcome, Charley. That particular video was when Sarah was only eighteen years old. She had been playing the mandolin only about three years. She's an even better player (and singer) now. Sarah and her brother, Josh, an excellent banjo and dobro player, helped me out onstage last year when I was in a bind (my band had disbanded except for me and my bass player). They are both pros with a lot of stage time under their belts for such a young age, and they are very easy to work with, just great folks.

    Here's their main website page:

    When I see photos of women holding F style mandolins like the one above it makes me wonder if Orville Gibson designed the F model with a woman on his mind. The first Gibson catalog shows an illustration of a lady holding an F model. There were lots of all girl mandolin clubs/orchestras in the teens. They sure look better with a woman holding it like this than a man. Sarah seems to bring out the real beauty in the F model's curves and scrolls. Absolutely stunning!

    Bertram, what's with the frets on that thing. At first I thought it was diatonic like a dulicimer but it doesn't seem to be a western scale. Is that correct?

    EDIT: Nevermind I just looked up Turkish music - I think I understand.

    Fast forward to about 2:20 for mandolin content. And I'm sorry....

    Let's elevate the discourse, perhaps. It's not much of a wonder why we have few regular female posters when we talk like this is a mandolin locker room.

    Wow! That girl is good enough to audition for American Idol and make it easy to the finals. Most impresive vocal interpetation of that song. She should show with the mandolin and do it just like that.
