The Loar LM-700-VS Giveaway

[Sondrew]

Usually I do have a portion of good luck!

[Alan Lackey]

Well, this may be way too much mandolin for my first one as I am just beginning my quest to determine if its crazy for a 50 yo guy, who has never played a stringed instrument seriously, to start now. Love the sound of mandolin and figured what a great way to relax and enjoy this period of my life.

Man, someone's going to get lucky!

[poniverus]

This would make a great bday present for me! (nov 24)

[Dave Cowles]

OK, count me in,too! I haven't played a 700 series yet, but I'm definitely a fan of The Loar mandos.

[Angela]

I would LOVE to have this mandolin. I'm a newbie and I am currently playing a cheap beginner's mandolin. I've said that one day I will buy a better mandolin as a gift to myself. This is so pretty I would have to practice playing standing in front of the mirror. Good Luck to everyone.
BTW - My birthday is Nov. 23rd

You can always find a great giveaway on the Cafe. My wife says I can't buy anymore mandos (yeah right) but she didn't say anything about winning another.

That's a message received when your email address is part of a large spam database of emails (over 50 million) we compare submissions to. Obviously, it blocks the submission. Doesn't mean you're a spammer, but someone has used your address in a spam situation and its been reported. You did the correct thing by contacting me. Leaving this reply here so others might see it. I can manually register folks that might receive this or you can use another email address if you have one.

Oops - I messed up. I misinterpreted the rules and entered twice with different email addresses. I truly don't wish to be disqualified, so is it possible to have one of my entries removed please?

We would have caught that. No need to ask how

No need to worry. We'll take care of it.

Throwing my hat in the ring. Er, pick in the tip bucket. Well, entering the drawing, however it is expressed.

Regarding Avogadro's number: Copying and pasting entries from wikipedia and similar sources will produce results such as this example, if no attention is paid to formatting. The "x1023" part is utterly useless and inaccurate; it should be "times 10 to the twenty-third power." This is a very large number and needs to be appreciated in its proper order of magnitude. If you don't have the capability of typing an exponential superscript it's better left alone, or you will cause confusion, as Pribar expressed. Also, it's best to edit out the footnote links. That's substandard work there. Our standards may be low, but we've got 'em.

PS: The chances of one of us winning will be better than anything to do with that number. We do not have 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 members! Yet ...

Loar should make an Octave and a Mandocello.

[Astro]

I'm in.

Pretty mando. That would be quite a win for somebody.

I like their small bodied guitars too.
