Vintage mandolin poster series

[Rick Albertson]

The first in a series of posters featuring vintage mandolins. This is the 1921 F-4 for which I am presently the steward.

Would appreciate any suggestions on what/whose instruments to use for future posters.

Thanks.

How about a Loar and maybey a few snake heads, Where can I purchase these posters.

[Rick Albertson]

Thanks for the note. Posters aren't available quite yet. Working on getting a Loar to shoot. Snakeheads sound good too... got to find a source.

I like the F4 poster quite a bit, but it would be nice to see a larger sample (you could watermark the sample image if you want to preserve your copyright). #Let us know when/how they become available.

A blacktop F2 should make for some interesting possibities. #Also a 2 point Lyon and Healy.

If you want to shoot a butt ugly, beat up snakehead Ajr let me know. You could arrange it artisically in a dumpster or something... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif #
