Been a long time since I've heard you play Tenor.
Can't wait to hear you on this beautiful guitar.
Always thought that Rogue River inlay was cool.
A couple of the best sounding mandolins I've heard
were Breedloves from that era.
Very loud with beautiful bell tones.
What a great find and what a great first [and lifetime]
instrument to start...
I've had the pleasure of being around John quite often.
In an acoustic situation the Loar usually goes 'naked'.
The Tone Guard John uses has all of his electrical attached to it.
Having been to...
Nice job Nic.

You guys [Pat and Nic] are killing me here.
This one isn't a new color. But, it has F holes.

In a perfect world I would keep my Mike Black GBOM.
But it's not a perfect world.
I will always keep my Appollonio bell bodied CBOM.
Unless a grandkid snags it.

Jill. A mandolin for you is a gift to us all.
I hope a video will follow.
This was the first Christmas in a long time that I didn't get myself a mandolin.
But, today is the first day of my...
Robin played with the Merrymen from Barbados.
And, was inducted into the Tenor Hall of Fame in 2013.
Rest in Peace.

Another beautiful Morris mandolin Dan. Enjoy.
Kevin's with the Osage Orange back was always one of my favorites.
I would be very interested to know if Sonny has made a mandola.
Anybody have one?...
I thought it would be unusual to find one of Paul's instruments in the UK.
I live a hundred miles away from his shop and have only seen one [beautiful] mandolin.
Later that day Paul stopped by with...
Hope this link works. I prefer the quality of this recording. [Mike Black #6] http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=61846&d=1282175487
If you go ahead with the Gretsch I would purchase it from Elderly.
They are a Cafe' sponsor and well known for there business ethic.
They also send out every instrument with a nice setup.
Their...
Beautiful Don. Another fine addition to a thoroughbred herd.
Can't wait to here all the music played on it.
Gary
Thanks Dan and Don. I was wondering if a 1 1/8" neck would hold up.
I also need an 11"/ 11 1/2" body width. Been thinking of putting
together a little 'Frankenstein'. I'll hold off on any other...
Nice work Maxx and Laurie. And congrats Don.
That's one beautiful dola.
To bad with such a nice instrument you couldn't
find a better piece of maple for the back.:grin:
Hope to hear it soon....
Welcome to the club David.
#100 is a golden beauty.
Gary
just what you need Patrick, another A. :grin:
[Your on the top of my list.]

In general I think there are four kinds of sellers.
1. There's the guy that wants more than what the instrument is new.
There is a mandolin I'm watching that the guy selling wants 125
