Hello Mandolin Cafe Family,

Hoping to get information about it.

Google search didn't turn up much.

[Bill McCall]

Picture?

[MikeEdgerton]

Does yours look like any of these?

[MikeEdgerton]

If it looks like this one there's some information in that thread.

If it does look like this one there are links in that thread, beyond that what do you want to know?

If it doesn't look like any of those we'll need a picture.

If it's this one on eBay, follow Mike E's advice. It's a Blue Comet/Beltone/Artistic/whatever "quasi-resonator" mandolin -- often offered for sale, seldom played, at least in my experience...

[Jim Garber]

I had one many years ago and sold it at a guitar show to a guy who said that Howard Armstrong, the blues fiddler and mandolinist, played one.

Yes. First picture
