Stunning!
nice...can't wait
Nice as always, Ken! I love that maple back; nice figure!
Looks like a fine instrument, just wish there was a bit more light in the photos.

Beautiful instrument. How "econo" is it?

Woohoo! This one is coming home to Tennessee!
Got my Econo A today...it is a HOSS! Pics and video up soon.
Congrats! I'm a big fan of Ken's mandos. Unique, beautiful, and a tone all their own. Play Happy!
Music speaks to us all. And to each of us, she speaks with a different voice.

I talked with Ken, I'm fifth in line for the ten Econo A's he'll be making this summer...

Guys, this thing is awesome. I don't know how many mandolins I own, and this is one of the best. Working on a video.
That's great to hear! I've never even played a Silverangel before so I felt like I was rolling the dice a little. But I had heard so many good things that I didn't really feel it was much of a gamble - especially because I think a lot of mandolins sound either thin or harsh and I've never heard of a Silverangel described that way. It sounds like it will be right up my alley.
Loved the looks of them. Love what I heard of the sound of the F styles. An A style is always more reasonably priced, and I don't think I ever have been able to discern any loss of sound from and F to an A. The Redwood top mandolins I've heard, really have an even distribution of sound throughout from bass to treble.

Seeing that Ken is beginning a new series of A's this year, how are you fortunate owners of the 2016's out there liking yours?
I just bought a 2016 from a Cafe member, but it's been stuck in customs for two weeks - I'm hoping to have it in hand this week and join the happy campers!
