Always loved Dylan and at this point in his career one would think he could afford a better mandolin.
He hired Peter Ostrousko to lay down the final mandolin track on the album.
... which, according to A Simple Twist of Fate, didn't make the final mix. I've never been able to hear it, anyway.
Just one guy's opinion

I thought David Mansfield was on mandolin on BOTT.
For posterity.

In the mid 80's there was a Martin 2-30 for sale at a music shop near me. I looked at it one day and the next day called and said that I wanted it. The owner replied "sorry Bob Dylan just bought it".
Great photo of Bob, one of my favorites. No telling how many mandolins Bob may own judging from his lyrics here.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
Lomax, Alan, The Land where The Blues Began, NY: Pantheon, 1993, p.14.
That one looks to be German or some other European origin.
Levon was playing Martin mandolins for a few years. Also and F style oval hole Gibson. I'm guessing they owned more than one. I saw him on TV one night playing the Martin. Nobody has taken a shot at the one Dylan is holding (except Hudmeister I see). I suspect I know what it is.
By the way, I'm not sure he's rehearsing.

There is also the (EM-300?) two point Jethro Burns Gibson on the “Rock of Ages” album by “The Band”.
Looks like any one of a hundred “Epiphone” deep body “A” styles of the last twenty-thirty odd years.

Cheap with instruments? Dylan over the years has had an incredible number of vintage and non - vintage accustic guitars. Some fancy, some plain ,some off the shelf and some custom built. Then there are the electrics mostly Strats but there have been others I saw a picture of him with a Dusenberg....anyone ever seen him perform with a mandolin? Mandolins might not be that important to him but he's had some killer guitars!
