    Just contacted the Music Emporium to purchase the Girouard F5 Studio they had there.

    The waiting is the hardest part......

    Yup. Just got notification that a Gibson A mandolin I ordered shipped today. Never thought I'd be looking forward to Monday.

    Beautiful mando! Congratulations.
    If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a vet.

    Thank, all! I'm certainly looking forward to it.

    It will be joining my Phoenix Neoclassical and my Weber Bighorn.

    Ooh, ooh - I have been lusting after either a Bighorn or a Rigel R-100. Is yours oval hole or F-hole?

    I was in TME a few days back. Was talking to someone over near the “wall of Martin” when I heard a mandolin barking loudly from across the room. One of the TME guys was standing behind the workbench area with a sweet Girouard F and hit a few monstrous chords that made my head spin. I was told “don’t fall in love, it’s shipping out”. That must have been your new instrument and it sounded awesome!!! Like really awesome. Hope it is in your hands soon if not by now. I’m quite sure it’s a really good one. Congrats.

    Thank you, that's great to hear! Yes, that had to be the one.

    I'll be speaking with Jordan today about delivery dates.

    It's the "F" holed Bighorn.

    It's being sold as a 1910. Will check FON to verify. Regular pumpkin top A. Hopefully it sounds different enough from my A Jr that I'll be happy with both.

    Was hoping it would be here today so I could play it at our show tonight. Instead, it will be an excuse to take Monday off work.

    There's a Bighorn "F" in the Classifieds right now.
