who is mark locke?

[jessboo]

I've come across a mandolin made by Mark Locke. it's the eastern european style with the curved back. made of several strips of two kinds of wood. Elderly has a octive mandolin buit by him. has any body ever heard of him?
thanks

The Elderly Listing says the instrument was hand built in Michigan. He isn't in the builder database here. The same question was asked and left unanswered in this thread as well. Maybe a call to Elderly would yield some sort of result. It appears they've had that instrument for a while.

That would be Mr. and Mrs. Locke's son.
Sorry, that was another Groucho line but, you might contact Elderly and ask them ig they can give you any information about him.

Oh, good. I hope someone posts the answer here.

The Octave at Elderly looks nice and has been "on hold" twice.

Thanks,

Are you looking for this guy? He's a mysterious figure-- last seen standing in the water in a suit.
