Any mandolin builders in Alabama? Man, they're hard to find.
Phillip, go to the builders section (link at top of Home Page), type in Alabama in the search field. I can personally vouch for the quality of the mandolins that Steve Tourtellotte makes. He is here in B'ham and makes some fine instruments. (with a cool MOP Turtle logo in the headstock).
I played one of Steve Tourtellotte's mandolins and was very impressed. You can search the builders by Birmingham and find him.
