Sent a PM. We have a Trillium OM that may be available.

Mando is not my main instrument, although I have certainly dabbled since acquiring the one I learned on (which is also the only one I no longer own):

1. Flatiron A5Jr (Carlson signed) -- sold...

Dan,

If you ever come to the Durham-Chapel Hill area, you are welcome to try out our Phoenix Neoclassical. We got it from a retiree who had used it in a mandolin orchestra, when my wife wanted to...
