Wanted to show the original of this photo. Tom Ellis has the coolest fence in Texas, hands down.

[Charles E.]

Looking good! I can only hope to win this time.

[BLB]

I will enter but I will be a no win ! I was in Lions Club for twelve years with 16 members and with two meetings per month we had a 50-50 drawing at each meeting and I never won even once ! I did win the selective service draft lottery drawing in December of 1969 though ! Vietnam bound as my reward !

Great Picture - that is actually the railing around his front porch - and it goes all the way around on his American Craftsman Cottage style home. It really looks cool in person.

[Mark Wilson]

That's some seriously cool fence boards

Another amazing giveaway, thanks MC!

I have had my eye on a Pava ever since I saw this Molly Tuttle video.

[DougC]

Tune that thing Dan. (You're on video).

[Michael Norton]

This may sound stupid but how do you enter the giveaway? Such a beautiful Pava!

[Trav'linmando]

And in my favorite color. Oh my!!

[Bill Kammerzell]

This may sound stupid but how do you enter the giveaway? Such a beautiful Pava!

Got to wait until April 13th Michael. The announcement will be on the Cafe front page. There will be a link. Very likely just enter with your email. That's the way it's been done in the past.

Okay guys, here is the scoop:

I just had an opportunity to play the exact Pava that is being given away - and it is garbage!

Action is high, neck is warped, back has a huge seem split, binding is loose, tuning buttons began to crumble between my fingers, weighs about 6 pounds, sounds like it is stuffed with wet towels.

So whatever you do, DO NOT enter this giveaway - I will volunteer to be the only one who registers and make sure that nobody else ever has to suffer with this beast of an instrument.

Glad I could help.

[Tomando]

wow, good to know! thanks for the heads up. a great public service…!

[Mandoplumb]

I think I'll enter too Mike shouldn't have to bear this alone.

[Kevin Stueve]

Oh wow, me want

[Anmol S.]

I can only wish to win such a great mandolin...that I may not be able to get any time in my life..

[KatherineFrazier]

Wow!
