Back over to the other coast, Allie Gonino of Allie and the Stunners.
Let's not forget the other other coast, the Third Coast, that of the Gulf Of Mexico. Searching around New Orleans, I found Roselyn Lionheart, of David & Roselyn, and Hazel Schlueter, of Hazel and the Delta Ramblers.

Also, while searching around New Orleans I found a woman who IS a mandolin - a Nawlins resident NAMED Mandolin! I have no idea why she was named that, nor if she has siblings, and if so, whether they also are named after musical instruments. I thought this was such a remarkable coincidence I wanted to share it with you all.
Later on I found yet ANOTHER woman named Mandolin! She's not from New Orleans, but she is in the music business. I changed my search engine's parameters so I wouldn't find more. Once was serendipity; twice could be a sign of a pattern. Ignorance can be bliss, and I'm not sure I want to know how many are so named. Then again, why not name people for the things we love? And the name does have a nice lilt to it...
Now, I have met an Amanda Lynn, her given name - furthermore, my long-lost F-12 was named Amanda Lynn, Mandy Lynn for short - but this is another level or two higher in nomenclature, worth noting. I'm leaving their last names off; they're not performers, hence not in the public eye, and deserve their privacy. But trust me - I'm not making this up.

Does that F model have a flat top? I don't think I've ever seen one like that before ...

Sonia Maurer is a real musician.
She has 2 Diploma (Conservatory Degree) in classical guitar and in mandolin.
She is the mandolin player of Ennio Morricone, Nicola Piovani, Fabio Biondi (with Europa Galante), she played with Riccardo Muti, Daniel Oren and so on.
I think that we have to compare her with other great mandolin player for their musical ability :-)
And I think that she is a great mandolin player!
Doyle told me that Haley has a Gibson EM200, but the only thing I've seen her play is the Weber oval.

Here is Shauna Pryor from Cowboy's Nightmare.
Maybe it's a "mood mandolin"...

Could be, but probably different lighting is my guess. Either that or she has the new Benjamin Button finish I've heard about.
Here is one of Jodi Moore of the band Aussie band Dirty Lucy. Interesting way to reduce feedback on the f style mandolin. Anyone know what type of pickup she is using or what chord she is playing?

It's two mandolins. The headstock inlay is the same in pics 2 and 3 with the red one but different in pic 1 with the blond.
Then again it may be three - hard to get a good view on the inlay in 3.
In the merry old land of Oz it would definitely be a mandolin of a different color!

D chord, thumb on the G string. Looks a bit awkward because it's a still captured from what must have been a pretty active point in the song. Dunno about the pickup, but how about that jack? I prefer the tailpin endjack myself, less compromising to the instrument.
That tape is gonna leave a mark. I used to stuff bandanas in the f-holes of my EM-150 to defeat feedback, a much more benign approach.
I like the strap length. Very rock 'n' roll. That's my approach too. Helps a lot when playing solos behind the head. And it just looks tuff. Wonder how it's attached at the neck end?

Hey Martin, what kind of emandos are Nicky Gillis and Makaylie Foodey playing?
They're made by Allan Tomkins http://www.emando.com/builders/Tomkins.htm
I must say, emando.com is quite the valuable resource, chockfull of verbal and pictorial info. Well done! With the script on the pegboard inlay hard to read except for the T, all I had to was take a quick scan through the list of builders under T and bingo!
Wish there was an emoticon for "tada!"

Though admittedly I spelled it wrong.
Well, yeah. Emando.com would not be the resource it is without the help of people like Jeff and everyone else here who brings new builders to my attention. I don't have the time for research that I once had, so I'm relying more on the Cafe to help me find stuff.
