Here are a few more pics of #75. I'm very happy w/ this mandolin - how it plays and sounds. I admit, I was a bit skeptical that Don could match the tone of my '23 snakehead. What a surprise - this plays and sounds like a suped-up snakehead. It's louder and has more sustain than the '23, yet doesn't give up anything in terms of tone color. A very fun instrument to play! Thanks and praises, Don.

The finish is what I'm calling "smoked eggplant" - a bit hard to describe. Really interesting, imo.

Baba Ganoush! That's it, otterly! Someone else in an earlier post called it Ogden's Nut Gone Flake after the Small Faces classic lp. I love both titles.
Jeff, I didn't realize it was the 13th - I think Don has built the perfect Ying to your pumpkin Yang.

Beautiful.
Mr. Paine is indeed good with the oval A's, but to be sure he also makes a stunning F4 if I do say so.(and I do)
Pomeroy fan,
