    Default Adams Flat Back 1900

    George Gruhn had one for sale- so that's his date. This one needs some TLC, for sure!

    This is the Gruhn mandolin- a lot prettier!

    What our friend, Diego Garber, refers to as a ‘boat back’ mandolin.

    I’ve got one, also unlabeled, in quite a bit better shape.

    The deeper body doesn’t seem to add much to the sound, though the neck is quite comfortable to play.
