These photos were taken during and after a concert by a small mandolin
orchestra, which features the teens-era Gibson mando-bass, mando-cello,
and mandola. The concert was performed at the museum where the
mando-cello and mando-bass reside part of the year. Through a
cooperative effort between the museum and interested parties, the two
instruments owned by the museum were restored to playing condition by
the cafe's own MandoMedic, and are being made available by the museum
for use by local groups connected with the area university and Community
School of the Arts during the school year. The vintage mandola is held
by its owner, who organized and directs the mandolin
orchestra.
