Hello everyone,

Hi,

Cafe member Michael Lewis from Grass Valley California made one that I bought new around a decade ago and still love. It sounds great and I’ve never seen better workmanship. Not sure how active Michael is right now, but his instruments are excellent.

Paul Lestock, Arrow Mandolins, makes them too.

Another option would be Eric Foulke of Boots Mandolins, https://www.bootsmandolins.com/.

I owned a Boots Imperial model for years and absolutely loved it. Wish I still had it!
