For some time now, I have been wanting to get a mandolin from my friend and Winfield Camp mate, Mike Black. So last week I took a road trip from Oklahoma to Lawrence, KS and previewed my (soon to be my) new instrument. Mike was accommodating enough to string it up for me to hear, and I was quite happy to hear a great sound. Next stop is finishing, which, of course, take a few weeks. So I wait. Here is the preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7puiGOeoOtc
Thanks for sharing. It's been two years since my custom build with Mike, so it's nice to live vicariously through your experience!
You ought to be tickled by that one. Virzi! Can’t wait to play it.
