I bought a rough Morrell mandolin on ebay (cheap). It's made in TN, presumably in Bristol, s/n 288. I called Morrell Music and the guy who answered the phone said he'd ask around and email me (which hasn't happened yet). I'm just curious as to when it was made and how many were made. I'm guessing 80s, as that's when I first saw the US made Morrell lap steels. It's the only US made Morrell mandolin I've seen so maybe there wasn't a huge quantity made. Maybe for good reason, who knows? It's still in transit so I can't give much of a description other than it's very basic army-navy flatiron style but with f-holes. I know it's not worth anything, I'd just like to know a little more about it if anyone knows.....? Thanks in advance.
