That thing looks sketchy as hell. I definitely wouldn't buy it without playing it first.
You have a BRW and an Altman. Why are you even looking at that thing? It's like you're Hugh Grant cruising...

NFI, but there's an unbelievably sexy Monteleone Radio Flyer A-Style for sale on Reverb.
Who needs a scroll when a mandolin looks like that.

Today I launched a Kickstarter campaign for a music education and collaboration website</a> I've been thinking about building for the better part of the last decade. I figured it might be of interest...
