Chris,
Being an Atlanta/Marietta/Kennesaw resident I do NOT want you to stock any mandolins! In particular, please do NOT bring in any high end models like Ellis/Pava, Heiden, Nugget, Duff, Gilchrist, Dudenbostel or the like. And I know that Jacobson fella, he's pretty sketchy as well!
There should be NO high dollar Blue Chip picks, NO coated strings, NO ancillary devices like tuners, recorders, straps, etc.
And as for your upcoming Marietta store, you can leave all those high-dollar Devil's Box violins behind as well! NO talented modern builders, NO fancy French Vuillaumes, and for God's sake nothing Italian! NO fancy bows, nor even a cake of rosin. Throw the 'cellos out as well! Stock the store with nothing but violas!
note: This post was placed under extreme duress from my possibly-soon-to-be-ex-wife, sackcloth-wearing daughter, destitute minister, and underfed dog.
See 'ya soon! And often!
Jim
