This past Saturday I was able to drive up to Creston B.C. and pick up my much anticipated A Standard from Michael. His sweet wife Kay had a lovely breakfast ready for me when I arrived and we had a wonderful time talking gardens and mandolins. Both of my visits to the Heiden's have been very memorable for me.
I won't go into detail but all I can say is the mandolin is everything I expected from a Heiden instrument. It has all the tonal qualities I have been looking for in a mandolin. Such a sweet yet powerful tone and not to mention the thing is a beauty. Michael is a true craftsman making instruments that speak to me visually and tonally. For that reason I had to have one. Looking forward to years of playing and enjoying it. Enjoy the pics!
