Thank you Scott. We fellow mandolin pickers are so fortunate to have you and your terrific Website.
Thank you Scott. You do so much for our mandolin community. It is greatly appreciated.
I replaced the originals on my '59 Gibson EM200 with Kluson Supreme F Type Gold tuners (purchased on Reverb). Fit perfectly and work great (no need to drill new holes). Keep the originals in the case...
You provide a great service and unique value to the mandolin community. It is sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

Steve Gilchrist was selling most of his F-5 mandolins through Gruhn at that time (including x braced examples).
A terrific person. Very generous. He will be missed by many. Rest in peace John.

Bravo!
How does it compare to your F-5 Monteleone?
Signs were placed in the neighborhood. Someone in the local area found the mandolin (run over) alongside the road, called and returned the mandolin. The owner provided a reward (his choice).
Fortunately, he traveled the back route along Lincoln Blvd.
Great news! The mandolin was found today about a half mile from the owner's departure location in Santa Monica. It was run over. Thank goodness to the Calton case, the instrument was unharmed. Thank...
Scott, you provide a wonderful service and great Website. Thank you.
