My 1920 A model has a 3 piece top and wild, wide grain also. While I don't need another mandolin, I was sure smitten with that clean case.

Congratulations. I have a '32 A0 that's my favorite.

Thanks for all the kitchen tunes, excellent playing and recording. My favorite Frank tune, Pioggia di rosa.

I saw this on facebook marketplace (no financial interest on my part). Built by the late John Wynn.

Wishing Dennis strength and comfort during his recovery. As of this morning, there were 68,196 people here in the US waiting for a lifesaving transplant. I received mine this last January. Donate...

Wishing Dennis a Happy Birthday and comfort and strength as you wait for your transplant.

To my recollection, the earliest KM-11's had the checkered rosette.

One of my favorite images. "Uncle Nabob, he ain't a failure. He just started at the bottom and liked it there."

Finally, a cure.

This guy might really be in trouble.

Why be "Normal"? I know a very private collector who has a few stencil guitars.

1920 A model. My first good mandolin and still my favorite.

And now a request from the audience....

R. Crumb plays his old Wabash right handed mandolin upside down left handed.

Looks like a nice maple back on this one. Considering how hard it was to sell a mandolin during this time I think Gibson used nice woods on a lot of instruments. My '32 A0 has a quilted maple back...

Too much moonshine at the barn dances I suspect.

I like mudflaps.
