    If I was looking for a mandola, I'd be looking for one like that. Beautiful instrument.

    Yep. Not that we know Loar had anything to do with this particular instrument.

    Well it's a good day for used instruments at Elderly. And as my penchant quasi-regular off-piste contribution, I can't help but post this NMC beauty:

    Yes, I already posted it on "another" forum. FWIW, a very good price on an excellent box (and ADG)--from the looks of the case, probably pristine condition
