Re: Mandolins as Art
it's been fun living near Dave Cohen. I've seen him build all sizes and shapes of mandolin-shaped and guitar-shaped objects. Different woods, inlays, bindings, and the like. To me, I really have no, "Ear" for instruments other than guitar or mandolin. I mean what do I know about mando-cello and such? I just know they are cool and made in his unique styles.
Beyond sound, feel and playability, I too agree, there's, "The look." Each of us may wear jeans, but we pick them carefully and often not based on durability.
I'd think folks that play other instruments gravitate towards, "The look." I think of Liberace. I also think of Hartford.
