    Re: Carter Vintage experience vs Morgan Music

    Re: Kimble two point reviews?

    My Kimble 2-Point, built in 2010, elicits joy every time I pick it up. I’ve owned it for a little over a year. There is something about it that feels just right. I can’t imagine ever parting with it.

    Re: Ellis A5?

    I would like to one day. Maybe it’s strange, but haven’t been able to bring myself to pick up a mandolin that expensive. I usually go during lunch and it’s typically quite crowded in that room. Kinda...

    Re: In praise of mandolin builder Matt Ruhland

    That is a really, really tough question. There are currently 139 mandolins, and mandolin family instruments, listed on Carters website. They usually have more in stock than they list on their site as...

    Re: Free Waterloo Mandolin

    Went and played one during lunch today at Artisan Guitars in Franklin. Nice little mandolin with a great set up. Super easy and comfortable to play.

  17. Re: What is the most mandolins you've owned at one time?

    The most mandolins I’ve owned at once was four. Down to two now which are both pretty nice. A Rattlesnake F5 and a Kimble J. Would like to get an oval hole for something different.

    Sent you a PM with Ken's email address. He is still making mandolins. I'm considering having one built by him too and we've been emailing back and forth a bit.
