I did the same thing.

Cookin' up a bunch of new eight-stringed things in the Sorensen MandoLab!

Yes!!! I have one of his F8 mandolins. It also has a pickup installed and I couldn't be more satisfied with this mandolin. I had it made by Steve Sorenson. Steve sent me pics of this beauty every step of the way. Now I use it in two mandolin orchestras and continue to enjoy it. I highly recommend this mandolin builder.

Love building these sweet babies and then watching them fly out in the big world --

You're a cruel, cruel man, Mr. Sorenson! Everytime you post a picture of another Sprite, I hear my bank account weeping. That one is especially lovely!

[trevor]

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

You know that I'm subscribed to this thread?

You must know that by now.

Just keeping you in the fight frame of mind, Chris.

yep, baby-blue terrycloth is my absolute favorite backdrop.

Stumbled upon Bob Bronow's build thread. Love the binding on that one.

[Terry Sebastian]

That tortoise binding is the bees knees.

Finally got to try a Sprite!

Was in Phoenix this past weekend, and The Mandolin Store had a single Sprite in stock. I played it for probably two hours. (Tried a bunch of others, too, including a few very nice Webers, Collings, Gibsons and Pavas.

The two best mandolins, to my hands and ears, were a blonde Pava and the Sprite.

But I could not put down that Sprite. I've never played a mandolin that was so easy to make sound good. My Collings MT is an easy-playing mandolin, but I simply could not get a bad note out of the Sprite. Specifically, every note rang loud and clear and buzz-free with a minimum of string pressure.

Really lame pic of me with the Sprite at the Mandolin Store. I tried to look "discriminating" but I think I just look constipated.

Is that the used Sprite TMS has marked down to $2849: http://www.themandolinstore.com/scri...dproduct=9566? Why, that's a savings of over $1400 off the price of a new one: http://www.sorensenstrings.com/available-now/4555720690. An opportunity like that doesn't come up every day. It'd be almost foolish not to buy that mandolin.

[terzinator]

I believe that is the one.

Fixed the link; the "?" at the end was making it crap out.

Yeah, I agree, that's an outstanding price. Fools who fail to rush in will be pitied!

Just learned from Dennis at TMS that the Sprite sold yesterday. Someone got a GREAT freaking mandolin.

Bethany sure takes some great pictures --

Went home for lunch today, and stopped by the mailbox on the way. There was a little package in there with a bunch of great swag from Sorensen Mandolin and Guitar Co. !!!

Thanks Steve!
