Jim I think you could look at your mandolins under a 100X microscope and they would STILL look exquisite! Keep up the amazing work!

Blake, my apologies to you son, I typed your name as Blair instead of Blake. My typing is as bad as my mandolin playing. Again, my apologies for the error. - Bob

Blair, you are the spitting image of Dad. Be strong, continue to make him proud! Sinclair, you are a very loving courageous woman. Butch was so lucky to have you by his side. Stay strong, his music...

Butch, you are at peace now my friend. My condolensces to Sinclair and Blake who stood beside him every minute of his courageous fight. I shall miss him deeply but will keep his memory close through...

Hans,

Congrats! It is a beautiful mandolin! I just got a new A model Ratcliff and I love it! Enjoy!

Maybe I am just overly lucky, but I have owned a Rigel, a Brentrup, and a Ratcliff, none of which I played first,but all of which were excellent! I am not saying that this is the recommended method...

man doh,

Thanks for the compliment. The Ratcliff is what I call a strawberry blonde. Here is another view....

and my new Ratcliff A model.....

I absolutely LOVE my new Ratcliff A model, built by Laura, finish applied by Ken! The tone is just incredible for a new mandolin! They are easy going, knowledgable folks to deal with who have a great...
