Hey everybody! This is Jonathan McClanahan. Here is my latest mandolin,
Trinity model #730 owned by CJ Lewandowski of the Po' Ramblin' Boys! This mandolin has a great story and connection to one of the finest Loars, #72058, that was ever made. More information is coming! God Bless!

Great work Jonathan, "Orch" is a beauty with great tonal color!

That's my baby and I couldn't be happier with it. Orch is amazing and I can't wait to fill y'all in on more Info with the 1923 it was made a tribute to. Lots of cool stuff coming! Thank you Jonathan for making my dreams come true and making a mandolin that will stand the test of time. I now have a "legacy" mandolin!

It really is not fair to just post something like this and expect those of us inflicted with MAS to go back to the world as functioning adults... That thing is a monster.

I think that all of us on the Cafewho've read the previous threads about Jonathan's own mandolins, & his 're-working' of other makes, know just how good a luthier he is. This one is simply amazing to say the least & i love the look of it. It's slightly 'understated' appearance belies the incredible tone it produces,& the idea that it will most likely improve over time & with playing,makes me wonder what it'll be like in say,5 years time - terrific work once more from a very great builder,:disbelief:

You hit the nail on the head Ivan.

This is the one that tweaked my 'McClanahan switch'. His original 'Trinity' design,still for me,the epitome of 'Mandolin elegance',& the colour is astonishing:disbelief:
