Seeking information about this builder. I think he is from N.C. The mandolin I have is #15 and a copy of an F5 built in 1975. It is pretty well constructed as far as I can tell and after some tweaking I think is going to have a great tone. Maybe age has helped it, shame it can't do that for my playing and me!

That is one sweet mandolin Jim. Wish we knew more about the builder, and better yet, if I could find one at a good price.
