I wish had the kind of funds required to do that, but I certainly do not. On an unconnected matter I am in email contact with the owner of DMM #1 and he showed me a photo. So far as I know, it is not for sale.

Ron McMillan - That's okay, I assumed it probably wasn't! A nice piece of mando history there!
Old Gus - I've seen that one, but got some PM response for a few other DMM's owned by cafe members that may be interested in selling. Thanks though!
Re: Does anyone know who currently owns this DMM prototype?
I have no funds for a DMM, MM or even a varnished Fern but oh how I so want a varnish finished f-hole Gibson of some sort. Don't tell my lacquer finished F-12. ;)

Re: Does anyone know who currently owns this DMM prototype?
Whenever I see the virtues of varnish mentioned, I think of a 3-hour Catholic wedding I attended in an old NON-air conditioned church, of yeah, it was in August and must have been 100 degrees in there.....
Well, a combination of the weather plus my body heat reactivated the varnish on the pew gluing my polyester suit to the bench....when it was time to get up, I couldn't move! No way to be graceful at that point, just had to lean into it, as my suit fabric was pulled loose from the pew....of course, it was a light gray suit, now with brown patches on the back on the coat, seat of my pants and backs on my legs. What'dya gonna do?
NO MANDOLIN CONTENT

Boy do I miss that one..... :crying:
Re: Does anyone know who currently owns this DMM prototype?
So, what did Jake Hobbs buy?
Re: Does anyone know who currently owns this DMM prototype?
I would imagine a half million dollar offer would get you any mandolin on the planet. Alas, I will never test my theory.
Re: Does anyone know who currently owns this DMM prototype?
There were no DMM’s made in 1999. It is possible someone had it distressed later, but the model was first introduced in 2004.

I know it was for sale at Lark street music a few years ago for the sum of $25,000, but would like to know where it currently resides, and if it will ever be for sale again!
I know, I know...wishful thinking. :grin: :mandosmiley:
Signed by Derrington in June of 1999.
After Charlie I was the first owner of that mandolin in fact I took those photos. I can tell you now it wasn’t signed by Charlie...
