California Bluegrass Association Fundraiser
We've exceeded our goal of raising $1,500 for the California Bluegrass Association Scholarship Fund by raising that amount and more in less than 48 hours. Our sincere thanks to everyone that donated.
Congratulations and long live Gryphon Stringed Instruments, the subject of this article from the San Jose Mercury News.
Our money where our mouth is: we're supporting the upcoming Rich DelGrosso blues mandolin camp. Your music missing some soul? Rich is the ticket!
It's rare we name sellers with criminal intent in our community. Here's one we've blocked that you'll want to avoid, unless you just want to lose your money.
New from The Mandolin Store and Gibson Original Acoustic Instruments: the Model FGCMS mandolin, sold exclusively through the Mandolin Store.
