Thanks much, that's about where I thought it should go too.

I'm thinking about selling my Sawchyn A2 mandolin/1988 custom made. Would any of you be able to advise me of selling price for my mando. My hands are getting too painful to play it and I hate to see...

the photos are striking...... pegheads beautiful, thanks so much for sharing. It makes me want one!

I get pretty excited when I get a new book. I think I have 10 now! I really like the homespun lessons and the printed music that comes with them. I've been floating from Butch Baldassari's...

This is probably an endlessly discussed topic, but here I go...

I have a beautiful Sawchyn A2 Gibson style mando with no strap button under the heel. What is the opinion of all you enthusiasts,...

I love the color, just beautiful.......

yep, well, it was also our anniversary (7th)! He treats everyday like its his birthday!

Love your blog Jill, the photos of the restoration are lovely.......

Love the phoenix!

It has a voice! I had a Weber Hyalite that I had been playing, when I picked this up it asked to go home with me. It sounds just amazing, now I'll need to work hard to meet its standards!
