    Scroll down through this search of the builders database. Weed out the importers and you have an answer.

    I have played a couple of the June mandolins (on that list) and they are very, very nice.

    rptfree:

    Mandolinrick posts here on the site. He lurks and posts here occasionally. I've seen and played each mandolin he's made. He is in Jacksonville. He let me see an A style he is donating to a festival in Hoboken, GA to be raffled off in a couple weeks. Played it Tuesday night at my house in the white. Several mandolinists were very complimentary of his work, namely Ernie Evans. Ernie is the best mandolinist in the area. Send Rick a pm and he'll be happy to speak with you about all things mandolin.

    Wow. I may need to make a drive from Miami on up to the USA to check out some nice mandolins and actually hang out with people who play them!

    Lon Williamson is in St. Augustine. One of his bands, The Driftwoods, often play at the Creekside Dinery. They are local favorites. I betcha if you were in town, Mr. Williamson would be happy to talk mandolins with you.
