Finally, a little Come-upance

Yes, i recieved a Mando Caf'e decal as a gift. A treasured gift. After months, i decided to put it on my big Martin Dreadnaught case. And i waited. And the day finally came.
Somebody asked me if there was a Mandolin in that case.

Have a nice Day

Better a mandolin than a submachine gun!

Oh, an oversized, guitar shaped, six string mandolin, hand made in PA. Nice, probably rare isn't it?

"Oh heavens no, this case is for my cow bell!"

It may easily have been a mando-cello...that would qualify for the cafe

funny
it had to happen of course. At least they didn't ask you if it was a uke.

I got "Uked" at church the other day. A fellow that used to attend and has moved to Ontario was visiting. "Are you still playing your Ukelele" he asked.

I was playing my de Meglio bowlback in Copley Square in Boston and a little old lady with a heavy accent asked me if it was a balalaika.

What makes me think over at Ukelele Caf'e there's folks pulling their collective hair out in frustration?

I've got it! im gonna start making cases with the external profile of other things. Like a dog, or a pig, or a palm tree. Who wants one?

**mandopete** · Aug-29-2006, 5:12pm

I don't think I'd want to put my dog in a case.

**Ken Sager** · Aug-29-2006, 5:36pm

I have a kicking mule sticker on most of my cases. They haven't provoked any stupid questions, yet...

I had an old mandolin that had a fitted case. My wife said I looked like a gangster when I walked in with it. I walked into a hotel in Nashville and got some pretty uneasy looks from some elderly ladies in the lobby.
