Electric mandolin tasting

**thistle3585** · Apr-29-2008, 8:52am

I am trying to see if there would be any interest in an emando tasting at the Midwest Mandolin Festival in June. I am trying to rally some electrics for the event. So far, I will have a couple of mine, a Mandobird VIII, a Risa, a KM-300 and maybe a Schwab. Anyone else interested in bringing an instrument? An amp?

What exactly is this festival, and where does it take place. I live in Minnesota, and would possibly be able to attend, although I'm usually playing a gig on weekends.

Is this the 2nd weekend in June again? #It always conflicts with Lotus Dickey Hometown Reunion and Beanblossom for me.

It's near Indy. #A quick search yielded this. I'll have to put that on the calendar.
