Nice top row there bones, do I have them in the archives ??

Jim, the F4/5 is a raised fingerboard version of the F4 and not a conversion--just a nifty Gibson odd variation. It plays like a dream. Doug

Dan, No none of my mandolins are in the archives. I have a lot of pictures of them, serial numbers, etc. Would you like to have them in the archives? If so, do I just follow the directions at your site? The photo I posted is not very clear but the other non-downsized ones are really clear. Oh yeah, I do like oval holes and I love old-time music. The Skillet Lickers , for me,sit at the pearly gates even though the mandolin wasn't always front and center. By the way the Archives are nice. Thanks, Doug

Thanks, Mandopete. #I'm happy I started something a little different. #By the way, my "graphic" is an original concert poster from a Flatt & Scruggs appearance at the University of Illinois in 1963 or 1964. "Old school," as they say. (Also my old school!)

Scotti,

That pic reminds me of something you'd like to see on X-mas morning. Nice selection. That 35 Bone looks near mint.

Hope the arm is doing OK.

..oh yea..I spent many a morning by that fireplace on Christmas morns..back before it had the insert..ahhh..the memories....the 35 Bone is about as mint as you can get....good eye Wayne.....the arm is slowly but surley coming along....gaining strength in my hand more and more every day...thanks for the thoughtfulness...

...And the backs

Mama don't allow no guitar playin' round here, but since we're posting other instruments, here's my Weber Hyalite with my two ukeleles, a Ukebrand concert on the left, and a Ko'aloha concert on the right.

Until I placed them together, I had never noticed that the Ko'aloha hole is a smaller version of the Weber D hole turned upside down!

The bench is from Orchard Hardware - hardly a Nakashima!
