Wait! One more buglious thang... (since I have the attention of a GREAT mandolin player... I'm stuck, here...anyone feel free to chime in... Yer playin' "Somewhere" (chords=Bflat, Bflat7, an unknown chord that I made up..., Aflat, Fm7, Bflat7, an unknown chord that I made up, Aflat, Bflat, Bflat7, Gflat, cm, Aflat, Dflat, blah, blah, blah... I'm stuck on the "chorus!" I got, "Someday...somewhere...we'll find a new way of living..." B, Aflatm7, Eflatm, Fm7... what's the next chord? What are the chords for "We'll find a way of forgiving?"... And...if anyone responds...if you can...put those chords on a chart-type situation. (I can't seem to access any chords here at the cafe...) But, that's probably just me... Does any of this make sense?

Good idea! #I just set the scroll as my desktop - really cool.

As Bruce Harvie would say....nice stinger!

Wow! Great shot Dan. That really shows intimate detail of the engraving. You can see how each stroke was made. We seldom see such elegance anymore. Thanks.

**mandolooter** · Apr-16-2004, 9:41am

Unless we're looking at one of your creations Michael!

**danb** · Apr-16-2004, 2:11pm

Got Fern?

**danb** · Apr-16-2004, 7:10pm

Virzi stamp..

**danb** · Apr-16-2004, 7:11pm

Arrow end tuners, nice & close. Note the litle stamped leaves next to the gears!

I've got an even bigger shot of this, if you don't mind 560k in your inbox I'll email it to you

**danb** · Apr-16-2004, 7:12pm

You can always see the perfection that went into each
Loar signed Fern. Truely a thing of beauty unto it's own.

Point protector, a nice photo:

**Brier** · Apr-18-2004, 10:54am

Dan,
Would you post a pic of the back with the upper point? I would love to see that close up. Thanks thanks thanks for these great photos.
Peter.

**Brier** · Apr-19-2004, 7:25pm

Thanks Dan!

Darryl, A few days ago I saw a pic you posted of an H5 mandola that looked as if the 13th fret was on the binding on the crosspiece. Can you verify that?
Thx - Gary
