Morris mandolins are a very nice quality instrument. Inexpensive because Sonny doesn't
add all the bling. Still beautiful in a minimalist way. Custom built in an American one
man shop. You can find...
No not Elderly. It was a private sale. I prefer the old and used look but I don't
think I will ever play with the finish.
Been a long time since I've heard you play Tenor.
Can't wait to hear you on this beautiful guitar.
Looks like your having fun Cornfield. I wanted one of these for awhile. And, when I got around to
getting one they stopped making them for a few years. When they started to produce them again
I was...
What a great option being able to try both guitars. Lots of fun there. You'll probably end up
with both tuned differently.
This was probably mentioned before but you will need to change the strings...
Very nice Pim. Makes me want to pull anchor and seek out plunder.
Yes. That's the word for the quality of Andrew's instruments. Perfect.
My F5 is a pleasure to play and a joy to look at every time I pick it up.
Always thought that Rogue River inlay was cool.
A couple of the best sounding mandolins I've heard
were Breedloves from that era.
Very loud with beautiful bell tones.
What a great find and what a great first [and lifetime]
instrument to start...
I've had the pleasure of being around John quite often.
In an acoustic situation the Loar usually goes 'naked'.
The Tone Guard John uses has all of his electrical attached to it.
Having been to...
I would contact Nikos Apollonio. You could get his base model with K and K pickup right at your
price point. And, being custom you can pick the scale, neck width, ect. He also has several
upgrades...
Great looking 58 year old Tenor. Enjoy.
Have you sent mine yet?
It would be nice to have a Section for GDAE.
Also, Jazz players use other tunings. It would
be interesting to have a short discussion of
what these are and why they may...
I play a 24" scale tuned GDAE. Obviously you can't play chop cords but there are a lot of two and three finger cords that
can be used. Some of those can be a stretch and at those times I may only...
Not going out on a limb here.
That's a beautiful thing.
Sweet.
Nice job Nic.
I'm surprised Mike has made so few A-5's.
Grassers are missing out.

There's a Morris flat top in the classifieds in your price range right now.
If you contacted Sonny soon he could probably build a fully custom mandolin for
you by Christmas. Depending on his back...

Brent's #5 A5 is what got me started.
It's one beautiful Hoss.
No other A5's?
Mine barks and growls like a rabid dog.

You guys [Pat and Nic] are killing me here.
This one isn't a new color. But, it has F holes.

Hi Nic,
It's always good to see #12.
Your Soundcloud tag doesn't work for me though.
So, I can't hear her.
It still works on the Mike Black Mandolin Social Group page,
but the tag is a little...
