    Ok Let's see. The most beautiful mandolin I ever saw was a Jubal. I'm pretty sure they are made in Illinois (maybe Indiana). Ray Stillwell owned it and had it at Kaufman Kamp in 1999. I actually have three photos of it hanging on my music room wall!
    Ray, If you're out there, give me a holler!

    I'm going to get shot in the foot for saying this, but having seen all the 'Top ' builders mentioned here, waht could possibly live up to the hype of this thread If it's an un-known maker, cool, there are LOTS of great unknown builders doing great things now, so when a picture gets posted of a Beautiful 'fill in the blank' , how much better is it really going to be ?
    # # I say stop the sillyness and post the pictures when you get the instrument. hype, hype, hype. But the curiosity factor always ways in on something like this. I personally am hoping it's somebody un-heard of and doing great things.

    Hype? I dont believe hype is the word needed to describe what Im doing here. I actually thinks its very cool what you are saying though. In the way that you feel even the unknown builders deserve alot credit. I agree! Some of the best mando's Ive played have been made by some not as known luthiers. However though this maker is not on the eye candy page I do believe he will be very very soon. Besides its not about hype, we are all into the same thing here, that being mandolin, I think it makes it a bit interesting to hear what people are hopeing they see. But Im telling you this is something special seriously and deserves this topic.

    Well its been obvious in the past posts here.. #Lets go through..
    #"..will come over to (THIS SIDE)"
    "I'll tell if you if you are any closer(when you come back down)lol! "
    #"dont you guys just love the fox song"

    IT Has something to do with Nickel Creek! Umm.. breaking it down.. Nickel Creek, Chris Thile..... err... Did Chris Thile buy and/or feature this mando recently?
    Im Trying to build up clues here!! Why would It have to do with Nickel Creek... hmmm...

    With all the referrences to nickel creek i would say it would have to be a dudenbostel, but that has already been guessed and you said it wasn't, so, i don't know ??
