I aquired two new mandos in the last 3 weeks so I though a new family photo was in order.

Is it just me, or does Weber's finish hide the wood?
This comment was not to detract from your beautiful family, however. As you notice I have one too. I guess that is why it struck me.

Wait! There is something missing here... ah... no oval holes. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Next time, eh?

Greg - it appears that you will now have no reason to leave home!

Man, that is one fine set o' mandos!

Tony,

I agree with your thoughts on the dark coloring of the Yellowstone. It has very nicely figured wood but you have to have it in hand to see it.

Lane,

I think it would have to be LaPlant #6 I got it as a gift for my 16th birthday. It is also my first top quality mando. People ask which one is my favorite or the one I play most often and it can change day to day. They each have something different and special about them that is why they are part of the family. #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

It's nice to have so many options for quality instrument builders. But, it never lets a MAS addict rest. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

The Henderson is about halfway done. I hope to have it in a month or so.

Greg and Chad are going to be in town this weekend. So, I could just send it back with them. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

That's a heartwarming family picture, Greg, and a top notch collection. I could see myself with a N. Dean and a Brock similar to those some time in the future. Maybe you need an F4 to round it out?

Your prodigal son is still happy here...

With the oval hole family Hans is making I think one might have to join my family. I'm glad that you ended up with my 23V I hated to have to let it go.

That is one heckuva mando collection. And you have a Henderson coming??? That's just not fair! Whenever you get tired of that Brock I'd be happy to act as a foster home. LOL

...... and a Henderson on the way! That's some serious MAS! I hope you find peace in your sickness since you know there is no known cure for MAS. I'd say you got a pretty bad case of it.

HA!

Your MAS knows no bounds, boy.

Although you now have collected the only other thing that has been known to stem the horrible tide of MAS...





A wife.

Say hi to her from me n Chris

Oh Yeah...nice family Photo. I would make an oblique reference to your family album filling with more than just mandos, but my wife says that that would be mean-spirited... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Hey Mark,

Monica actually encouraged me to buy the last 2 mandos so I think I'm pretty lucky.

It is a "mando" family photo. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif The other album will have to wait for a while.
