I don't know what it is about them,but some mandolins just 'look' as thought they'll sound good,& that's one of them - it ''looks right'' - it's a beauty for sure,

I'm so impressed with the Girouard oval sound and workmanship that I just ordered a F4 from Max Girouard. I'm about a year out however for delivery so the next year will be long !
Think positively....that stunning A oval will be great company during your wait!

What a beauty of a tenor guitar! I was wondering if any of the tenors Max had just built were going to Cafe members! Congratulations on that!

Both the instruments in this thread are just gorgeous. Those in the Northeast are lucky enough to call the Girouard's "locals". If you've ever had the good fortune to communicate with Max and/or Lauri, it's easy to understand all the praise they get here on the Cafe. Looking forward to witness what they come up with in the years to come. Congrats on your new instruments.
